Johannesburg - Junior platinum mining company Ridge Mining yesterday started shaft sinking at its R1.1 billion Blue Ridge project in the Mpumalanga province.

The mine was worked steadily until 1896, when it closed. At the time of its closure, it had a length of 3,500 feet and a depth of 1,400 feet, measured on the slope.

Some say their homes are sinking because of it. Concerns are growing after a reported Pennsylvania sinkhole swallowed up a grandmother into an old mine shaft.
