FOREWORD
This directory is an updated version of the previous editions, listing all collieries in operation in
2008 within the Republic of South Africa. Details of the mines were obtained from coal
companies, to whom thanks are due.
The information is grouped under the names of the mining groups and controlling companies.
The details include mine location, coal types, mining and preparation methods, transportation and
the markets into which the coal is currently sold.
Analytical data, by courtesy of the SABS (Coal and Minerals Services, Coal Exploration and
Technology), is incorporated in an Appendix, as is a list of anthracite producers and main coal
exporting companies.
In 2008, the country’s saleable coal production was 252.2 Mt, of which 2.2 kt was anthracite and
250 Mt was bituminous coal. Local sales mass amounted to 197.0 Mt generating a revenue of
R30.1 billion while export sales mass amounted to 57.9 Mt and revenue from export sales were
R42,4 billion.
We trust that this publication will provide useful work of reference to all those interested in South
Africa’s coal mining industry, both locally and internationally.
