Significant progress has, however, been made in the implementation of the Deed of Settlement with the Richtersveld community. All Alexkor, state and Northern Cape provincial land in question has been transferred to the Richtersveld community, except for the township. The upgrade of the township's civil and electrical engineering services to municipal standards have commenced and was expected to be completed by July 2011. Alexkor's agricultural and maricultural assets have also been transferred to the community. The transfer of land mining rights to the community would be completed soon.
