JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Diversified miner Exxaro has received a revised set of demands from the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and the parties will resume wage negotiations on Friday.

“We've noted the decision by NUM to issue a strike notice. The strike action affects Grootegeluk coal mine, in Lephalale, as well as Leeuwpan coal mine, in Delmas. We continue discussions with NUM in order to resolve and reach agreement sooner to minimise the impact on employees," Exxaro executive head of stakeholder affairs Mzila Mthenjane said in a statement issued on Thursday.

The NUM on Wednesday announced that it planned to start the strike at 06:00 on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Exxaro said negotiations with Solidarity, the other trade union recognised for collective bargaining, were continuing.

“We are working closely with all other stakeholders to minimise any potential impact on coal supply,” the company added.
