About CoAL
CoAL is an AIM/ASX/JSE listed coal mining and development company operating in
South Africa. CoAL`s key projects include the Woestalleen Colliery, the
Mooiplaats thermal coal mine, the Vele coking coal project and the Makhado
coking coal project.
The Mooiplaats coal mine commenced production in 2008 and is currently ramping
up to produce 2 million tonnes per annum ("Mtpa"). CoAL`s Vele and Makhado
coking coal projects are expected to start production in Q3 2010 and 2012
respectively, collectively producing an initial 2 Mtpa rising to a combined
annual output of 10 Mtpa of coking coal.
In 2010, CoAL completed the ZAR467m acquisition of NuCoal Mining (Pty) Limited
("NuCoal"), a thermal coal producer with assets in South Africa in close
proximity to CoAL`s Mooiplaats mine. NuCoal owns the Woestalleen Colliery, which
has a number of off-take contracts in place and processes approximately 2.5Mtpa
of saleable coal for domestic and export markets. NuCoal also owns two
beneficiation plants, one fully operational mine producing approximately 300kt
per month of ROM coal and has recently commenced production at a second mine.
CoAL currently has 1 Mtpa export capacity at the Matola Terminal in Maputo,
Mozambique, increasing to 3 Mtpa on completion of the next phase of expansion at
the terminal. CoAL also has the option to participate in further expansion at
the Matola Terminal, which is expected to increase the capacity at the terminal
by an additional 10 Mtpa.
