| Abstract: |
The coal arm of BHP Billiton, BHP Billiton Energy Coal South Africa (Becsa), is spending R11-billion on two large new local coal projects, one of them the biggest single energy coal initiative the global group has ever undertaken.
Becsa is investing R7,5-billion ($975- million) in the Douglas Middelburg Optimisation (DMO) project, which is bigger than anything carried out before as a single project, and R3,5-billion ($450-million) in the Klipspruit project, the processing plant for which is a joint venture with rival Anglo Coal.
