EXPORT COAL PRODUCTION FROM MOOIPLAATS COULD START IN NOVEMBER
 Mining Weekly reported that, South Africa-focused emerging miner Coal of Africa (CoAL) has completed a revised mining layout for its Mooiplaats thermal coal project, in Mpumalanga, it reported on Monday.
CoAL stated that export-quality thermal coal was expected to be in reached in November 2009 at the earliest, or the first quarter of 2010 at the latest. The company had initially planned to produce saleable export-quality thermal coal early in its new financial year, which started on July1.
CoAL said that all other aspects of the original mine planning and scheduling for Mooiplaats remained the same, and there had been no material amendment to either the anticipated tonnage schedules or the project’s life-of-mine.
The Aim, ASX- and JSE-listed company stated that operations at the Mooiplaats project were continuing well, with mid volatile lean coal currently being produced at a monthly rate of 30 000 t run-of-mine (ROM), while establishing access into the export thermal coal resource.
CoAL said that it was in ongoing discussions with a number of parties regarding an offtake agreement for mid volatile lean coal. Should a formal deal be concluded, production could be ramped up to over 80,000 t ROM a month.
The miner had already reached an agreement on terms and conditions for the takeoff of the export-quality thermal coal to be produced at Mooiplaats.
Discussions were proceeding with third parties requiring coal processing facilities as well as rail and port access, while build-up at Mooiplaats continues.
Meanwhile, CoAL stated that it was ready to “immediately” launch the first phase of its Vele coking coal project, in Limpopo, upon the granting of a new order mining licence from the South African government.
The first phase would initially comprise the establishment of a modular coal treatment plant, which would have the ability to deliver about one-million saleable tons of coking coal a year, expected to be delivered to steel major ArcelorMittal South Africa for use at it steelworks in Vanderbijlpark.
The capacity of the modular coal treatment plant could be doubled, should the steel company seek to increase its takeoff from Vele. A letter of intent signed with ArcelorMittal South Africa in April 2008, provided for potential takeoff from CoAL’s coking coal properties of between 2,5-million tons and five-million tons a year.
Phase two would deliver the planned full capacity of five-million tons of coking coal a year. The timing of the second-phase expansion to deliver five-million tons a year of saleable coking coal would be dictated by market conditions.
The total capital expenditure required to complete phase one was estimated at R35-million. To double the phase one capacity would cost a further R200-million. Some R2,65-billion would be required for the second phase.
CoAL further stated that it was progressing with the planning of its Makhado coking coal project, in Limpopo. Analysis of the coal resource quality was continuing, post the completion of additional large diameter bulk sample drilling in the second quarter of 2009.
The full-scale project plan was based on the production of five-million tons of coking coal a year. A similar phased approach to that at Vele using a modular coal processing plant might also be applied at Makhado, which would lower initial capital requirements and enable CoAL to self-fund the build up into a full capacity mine.
Current indications were that a modular plant based first phase, with a capacity of one-million saleable tons of coking a year, would require a capital investment in the order of R500-million, compared to R2,7-billion required for the full-scale mine development.
CoAL noted that market conditions would determine whether the development of Makhado will be based on full-scale production of five-million tons a year, or a similar phased approach as taken at Vele.
CoAL has prepared the documentation for the Makhado project mining right application, which was planned for submission to the government, once Section 11 approval had been obtained for the farm swap with diversified giant Rio Tinto. This was expected during the second half of 2009.
