Name and Location
Torbanite and coal beneficiation project, Mpumalanga, South Africa.

Client
State-owned African Exploration Mining & Finance Corporation (AEMFC) and the State-owned Central Energy Fund (CEF).

Project Description
The CEF is developing a torbanite and coal beneficiation project, which is located north-west of Kinross, in Mpumalanga.

The project has total mineable tons of No 5 Seam coal and torbanite estimated at 82.5-million tons. In addition, total project mineable tons of No 4 Seam has been reported at about 137-million tons. There is also a limited No 2 Seam coal resource within the project area.

The No 5 Seam coal and torbanite deposit occurs at a depth of between 30 m and 130 m below surface. Planned mining operations will consist of mechanised narrow seam bord-and-pillar mining for the No 5 Seam and mechanised full seam bord-and-pillar mining for the No 4 Seam.

The torbanite and coal beneficiation plant will be fully integrated into a No 5 Seam mine.
