The future expansion of the now fully operational opencast manganese mine of the black-controlled Russian-backed mining company – United Manganese of Kalahari (UMK) – will depend on how much more rail capacity becomes available for the company to use, UMK CEO Johan Kriek told Mining Weekly at last week’s official opening of the company’s offices and warehouse near Hotazel, in the Northern Cape. Kriek was speaking soon after Transnet Freight Rail CEO Siyabonga Gama had said at a Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce function that R2.3-billion had been approved for the upgrading of the manganese line to Coega. UMK chairperson Lazarus Mbethe, above, proclaimed the mine the world’s third-largest producing manganese operation.
