Leeuwpan

Located approximately 80 km south-east of Pretoria in South Africa’s Mpumalanga province, Leeuwpan employs about 500 employees excluding contractors and produces 3Mtpa of metallurgical and power station coal. It is a conventional open-pit mine using modified terrace configurations and truck and shovel operations. Coal is processed using jigging technology for the top coal layer (seam 4 upper) and dense medium separation for the bottom coal layer (seam 4 lower). We also crush and screen bottom coal for power station.

The principal domestic markets for production are the metals and power-generating industries that consume 2,5Mtpa. Leeuwpan has a coal reserve base of about 143Mt and a resource of about 160Mt.
