Shale gas interest leads to new geological research on the Karoo basin.
And, the mine health claims backlog is blamed on the compensation legislation.
Coal miner Sasol Mining is in the process of replacing 60% of its coal production through four projects currently under way in Mpumalanga, MD Peter Steenkamp tells Mining Weekly Online.
