Project description
The proposed coal project entails the development of a combined openpit and underground mine to produce an estimated 2.2-million tonnes a year of A-grade thermal coal.

About R3.6-billion of the approved spending will take place only once Exxaro gets the necessary licences and regulatory approvals.
