3.2 Recently acquired water. 30.0 Ha

3.3 Lease agreement ready to be signed but on hold,

Busy with negotiations to acquire the water permanently. 21.1 Ha

3.4 The Farm, over the years has extracted water from a seasonal

stream, this right (ELU) will need to be addressed in the next

step (EIA) to expand the orchards by another 300Ha +/- 15.0 Ha

3.5 1 Equipped borehole - supply dwellings and gardens, 10,000l/h

3.6 4 Unequipped boreholes, varies 3,000 - 6,000 L/h

3.7 Annual rainfall is between 800-900mm/year

3.8 We are, as an ongoing process engaging with more water users

In the Klaserie Irrigation Scheme to acquire more water.

Water is underutilized in the scheme as most users have converted

to game farming. It will take time but is possible.

3.9 Water is being pumped approx. 5 km away from the Klaserie river.

3.10 We are further at an advanced stage of negotiations, to connect to

a newly planned pipeline (5km) higher up in the river. This will

eliminate almost all pumping costs. The idea has been approved by

the Irrigation Board.

3.11 More storage capacity needs to be provided for on the farm as we are

allowed to pump as much water as needed whilst the Klaserie dam is

overflowing. This extra water is not measured against our quota.

3.12 The newly increased dam capacity is now at approx. 180,000m3

when full. The wall could be raised by a further 1 m in height.

Also, 2 concrete dams at the dwellings for irrigation, Tot: 320,000L

4. Movable Assets:

4.1 Annexure "A" - Can be made available (NDA)

5. Electricity:

50m x 14m x 5m (Corrugated sheeting will need replacement)

24m x 13m x 4m

7.2 The farm will need to be fenced off; the current fence is of no use.

7.3 The orchards can be increased to approx. 250Ha with the current water available.

7.4 Given the tropical climate and higher rainfall than the rest of the area, makes it also

possible to farm Macadamias without irrigation. This should be investigated given

the usable area on the farm, production will on those areas be compromised but still

worth it.

7.5 The pumphouse consist of 3 pumps, of which 2 are equipped with VSD drives.

7.6 The panel is already wired to be connected to an automated irrigation system.

7.7 There are many cycad trees planted that are also not included in the price.

7.8 The application to increase the dam capacity and the current development to date

has been approved with the final inspection conducted last week. There are

therefore no additional fees to be paid to legalise this proses.

7.9 The new EIA for the additional expansion will still have to be financed. The public

participation process for this has been completed with no objection received.
