摘要

SOUTH Africa's third-largest coal producer, Sasol Mining, has received approval from its group executive committee to apply for a mining licence in the Waterberg, where it plans to erect a small-scale colliery that will be used as a future growth vehicle.Sasol Mining MD Hermann Wenhold tells Mining Weekly that the plan is to begin with a rela-tively small mine and make the coal available to one of its joint venture partners for both export and domestic use."From a growth perspective, Sasol has realised that there are mining growth opportunities in the Waterberg, but it's still very-early days," Wenhold adds.
