Probably not. I'll keep a look out for breaches! The road is built up. We
used to be able to stand on those rocks beyond the fence & look down about
10m. The most interesting thing I saw there was a melanistic giraffe which
effectively has its colours reversed.
That large dump is known as the F7 dump because waste material from the F7
mining area was dumped there in former years. It contains about 5%P2O5
(phosphate) which is too low for profitable commercial exploitation
(upgraded to 37% by crushing, milling & flotation & then converted
chemically into phoshoric acid & superphoshates). The cut off is 7%P2O5.

Still doesn't look as though it would stop a raging bull. Also, doesn't
detract
from the view as much I gathered from your comments.

Part of a new Elephant Proof Fence erected along a mine road south of
Phalaborwa. Steel buttresses every 30 metres or so with 5 steel cables & 16
strands of barbed wire. We used to be able to view game in the mine area
from here but, sadly, no more. Many animals, especially elephants &
buffalos, have been moving onto mine property right up to the offices in
search of food & water. Management has decided they don't need to take those
sort of risks. The viewpoints on the F7 dump behind are popular with
visitors.
