The link is not the best descritpion. The description I gave you is from Geology of Canada No.8 (of the Geology of North America series) where there is an extensive description of those deposits given as a comparison to Canadian placer deposits. The SA conglomerates are not described as coming from alluvial sources. So they are probably very much different from the Cangalli conglomerates. Indeed gold appears to be contained in thin layered sheets of conlomerates that are up to several meters in thickness with some paystreaks running for 10km long. It is those group of layers of conglomerates that can by very thick up to 4000m down, not the conglomerates layers themselves. There is no description on the number of layers and vertical distance between them. But given the number of ounces produced from these conglomerates, I can only conclude that there are dozens and dozens of layers.

I did a quick search on the net and there are a lot of ling on the SA deposits if you want to do more research.
