JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Dual-listed Forbes & Manhattan Coal has entered into an agreement with junior coal miner Ikwezi Mining for the acquisition of a portion of its mining right on the property known as Alleen No 2, located adjacent to Forbes’ current Magdalena opencast operations, in KwaZulu Natal.

Zinoju Coal, a subsidiary of the South Africa-focused coal producer, would acquire the property for R8-million; an amount based on the estimated run-of-mine (RoM) to be extracted from the mining right area.

Should the actual RoM exceed the agreed-upon production threshold, Ikwezi would be entitled to receive a top-up payment equivalent to R10/t extracted, which exceeded the production threshold. 

The agreement remained subject to written consent from Mineral Resources Minister Susan Shabangu.
