JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Mineral Resource Development, the contractor responsible for the coal handling and processing plant at Universal Coal’s Kangala colliery, has signed a three-year wage deal with the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union.

The agreement provided for increases in employees’ wages, along with the provision of a housing allowance and a production-related bonus.

Universal said it was pleased that the parties were able to reach an equitable agreement timeously, which was in the interests and to the benefit of all stakeholders.

The conclusion of the wage agreement was achieved together with record sales of 185 265 t for July – the highest total monthly tonnage sold to date out of the colliery.

Of total sales, 173 349 t of domestic thermal coal was delivered to power utility Eskom, with the remaining 11 916 t of coal exported through the Richards Bay Coal Terminal.
