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:
Transnet CEO criticizes the insufficient ‘small guy’ access at the Richards Bay Coal Terminal.
Mining cost pressures will impact negatively on employees, says Peter Leon.
And, a research coordinator advocates a new mining method for gold and platinum.

State rail company Transnet has strongly criticised the alleged insufficient accommodation of small emerging coal miners at South Africa's large private-sector-owned Richards Bay Coal Terminal.

Cost pressures put on the mining industry in the form of wage increases, high transport and electricity costs and low commodity prices will ultimately impact negatively on employment, says Webber Wentzel head of Africa mining and energy projects Peter Leon.
