"The Boikarabelo coal seam, between 120 and 130 metres in depth, lies only 20 metres below the surface in terrain that is flat and easy to get at, so removal of the overburden and the creation of an open pit was an obvious and low cost solution to reach the seam, which contains a variety of different types of coal, from thermal coal used in power stations and for which there is an insatiable demand within southern Africa itself, to soft coking coal for which there is a constant need to supply the steel producing nations of Asia, where capacity is set to continue rising over the coming decade.
Now the question is how much coking coal have we got? does anyone have an idea of % of coking coal at out mine? also do we have a contract for the coking coal?
