Info

Through geological assessments and the feasibility study it has been determined that the coal reserve on the above mentioned farms have an economic value and can be mined optimally via opencast and underground mining methods. Based on the proposed production rate of 3 000 000 tonnes per year, the life of mine is estimated to approximately 30 years. The NEMA application concerns the associated surface activities and coal mining activities to be undertaken by Vunene Mining (Pty) Ltd on certain portions of the above mentioned farms.
