On Thursday, cyanide spilled into a stream near the Karbochem site in Newcastle. The stream flows into the Ngagane river, the source of the area's raw water supplies.
There have been no reports of human fatalities, but the spillage did result in the deaths of 12 head of cattle.
Karbochem has offered to compensate farmers and local residents in the area who had been affected.
