ANGLO PREDICTS HIGH COAL PRICES, STEADY SUPPLY


Busrep / Reuters  reported that, Coal prices were expected to remain strong this year, while exports would match last year's despite rail constraints, the head of Anglo American's local coal unit said yesterday.

Anglo Coal chief executive Norman Mbazima expected the price of coal to average $85 (R612) a ton this year.

Richards Bay Coal Terminal's free-on-board prices have been about $82 to $85 a ton for the past month.

"Those are exciting prices and we think they will be maintained," Mbazima said during a visit to the company's Landau coal mine in Mpumalanga.

Mbazima said he also expected the company to export about 16 million tons of coal, unchanged from last year, despite railing hitches to the export terminal.

Coal exporters have said rail hitches to the Richards Bay Coal Terminal have been blamed for low coal deliveries.

Africa's largest export terminal is owned by South Africa's largest exporters of the fuel, including BHP Billiton, Anglo American and Xstrata, and is serviced by the railway arm of Transnet.

Transnet's rail division said earlier this year it expected to transport 65 million tons of export coal to the port this year and would try to raise that to 70 million tons.

Transnet Freight Rail said last month it expected to transport 62 million tons of coal in the financial year to the end of March, slightly up from 61.9 million the previous year.

Mbazima said Anglo Coal was seeking to exploit thermal coal opportunities in Indonesia, Australia and Colombia.

"We are looking at global growth opportunities for (the) seaborne market," he said.

He said Anglo Coal planned to increase coal exported to India this year from the 4.9 million tons last year.

Mbazima said the coal producer was also looking to facilitate the development of a power station using its own discarded or waste coal. The power plant could produce about 300 megawatts of electricity to be used for Anglo's operations in South Africa, including its platinum and iron ore mines.

He said there was enough waste coal - left over after the processing of coal destined for export - for the life of a power station of about 40 to 50 years. He said the company did not plan to finance, build or operate the station, but hoped to attract an independent power producer to build the plant.

"We will be providing the power-purchase agreement to say that if you come in, build this plant and run it, we will buy the power for the next 40 years, and we will provide the fuel," he said.

South Africa has been battling a chronic power shortage, which worsened in early 2008 when the national grid suffered a near collapse, costing the country billions of dollars in lost output as mines and manufacturing plants were shut for days. - Reuters
