Projects
Explore our projects in detail below. Each project reflects our dedication to quality and performance in the coal mining industry.
Contract Mining
Pegasus
Pegasus is a finite coal reserve adjacent to Africoal’s OMS washing plant. It is currently our client’s lowest-cost producer of export-grade coal and will temporarily support production shortfalls from other high-cost export-grade reserves. Given its finite nature, the contract for Pegasus is expected to end in mid-2025.
New Largo - Pit D
Pit D is an Eskom-producing asset, with a current monthly requirement of approximately 360,000 tonnes of coal and 1 million cubic meters of overburden removal. Recently, Pit D secured several Coal Supply Agreements with Eskom and is now supplying coal to Kusile, Kendal, and Majuba power stations, as well as supplementing New Vaal’s supply from the same reserve. New Largo is preparing to acquire additional production capacity to fulfil its long-term Coal Supply Agreements with Eskom, necessitating more coal extraction from Pit D. The current contract extends to 2028, with an anticipated five-year extension.
Beneficiation Plants
Inyanda Plant
Our flagship Inyanda plant, acquired in 2015, has a nameplate capacity of 300,000 tonnes of coal per month. Located 21 km northwest of eMalahleni, the double-stage washing plant was upgraded in 2018.
Rehabilitation
MMS Klipfontein
Initially a two-year contract, the MMS rehabilitation project (formerly a South 32 asset) involves restoring previously mined areas. With approximately R25 billion of environmental work required, this project will significantly reduce our client’s environmental liability. This effort focuses on rehabilitation to minimize exposure and reduce the assets needed to cover these liabilities. Africoal plans to expand its rehabilitation services, leveraging the substantial workload and minimal mechanical impact on mining equipment, which can extend fleet life. Africoal has proven to be a reliable partner, demonstrating its capability to accurately price projects and maintain profitability throughout the contract, including fleet recapitalization.
