This opencast operation, the ASX-listed Universal Coal’s Kangala Colliery, is located in South Africa’s Witbank coalfield. The 2.4-million-ton-a-year run-of-mine operation has an installed plant capacity that can be expanded to 4.25-million tons a year if required. Most of Kangala’s thermal coal is supplied to South Africa’s State electricity utility, Eskom. Saleable tonnages averaging 2.1-million tons a year are planned from the 2.4-million yearly run-of-mine production rate. Kangala’s defined and proven reserve of 21.55-million tons will sustain a life-of-mine (LoM) of more than eight-and-a-half years. An LoM offtake agreement has been concluded with JSE-listed Exxaro for the export of thermal coal.
