Project overview
About this development
The Holfontein Coal Project is situated in the traditional coal mining area south and west of Witbank where coal mining has taken place for over a hundred years. It is on the main road between Kinross and Trichard in Mpumalanga and a main line railway siding is situated on the property at Leven which can be upgraded for export purposes. The project will involve the construction of twincast 9 decline shafts, one for equipment and material and another for a conveyor belt. Twin vertical shafts will be drop-raised to meet ventilation requirements and downcast and upcast twin silos will be developed, each with a capacity of around 1 500 tons, to separately handle the coal from 4 Seam and 5 Seam. Estimated project cost: R264 million.
