JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – JSE-listed coal miner Wescoal has appointed Diesel Power Open Cast Mining as the mining contractor for its new Elandspruit mine, in Mpumalanga.
Mining activities had already started, with the mine expected to produce its first run-of-mine this month.
“The mining division is on track to produce 335 000 t/m in the final quarter of the current financial year,” the company said in a statement to shareholders.
This would equate to about four-million tons of run-of-mine output on an annualised basis.
