Welcome to Creamer Media’s Resources Watch, a weekly video round-up of the events and people making and shaping the news in the mining industry.

This week:
Sasol Mining’s R14-billion coal projects roll-out is under way in Mpumalanga.
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.

The growing debate around shale gas exploration and extraction has sparked a resurgence of academic interest in the Karoo basin’s geological formations, says Cradle Creek International Consulting Coal MD Dr John Hancox.

There is longstanding consensus that the Occupational Diseases in Mines and Works Act needs to be reformed, as it is underfunded and under-staffed, resulting in a massive backlog of current claims at the Compensation Commissioner for Occupational Diseases in Mines and Works.
