MC Mining achieves significant development milestones at Makhado
JSE-listed MC Mining’s Makhado steelmaking hard coking coal (HCC) project, in Limpopo, achieved significant development milestones towards commissioning of the coal handling and preparation plant (CHPP) by December, with construction of the CHPP under way; construction power in place, with over 14 km of overhead power lines erected; and the temporary access bridge to the project site now serviceable. The company says in update on its third fiscal quarter, ended March 31, it reports that run-of-mine (RoM) coal production from the Uitkomst steelmaking and thermal coal mine, in KwaZulu-Natal, was 13% lower year-on-year at 101 101 t, with the reduction in production owing to lower-than-expected coal seam widths and lower mining fleet availability.
