Coal Mining
Penumbra underground coal mine is located 6km south of Ermelo in the Mpumalanga province, South Africa. The mine is expected to produce 750,000t of RB1 blend steam coal a year during its ten-year mine life.Continental Coal is the owner and operator of the Penumbra mine. The feasibility study of the mine was completed in February 2010 and the mining operations commenced in November 2012.Continental Coal is currently carrying out geotechnical works at the mine to increase the run-of-mine (ROM) ore production levels to 63,000t a month
Penumbra mine geology and reservesThe Penumbra coal mine is located within the Ermelo coalfields of the Mpumalanga province. The province is made up of Permian-aged Vryheid formations from the Ecca group.The mine has reserves of approximately 5.44 million tonnes of coal. The combined measured and indicated coal resources have been estimated at 68.3 million tonnes (mt).Penumbra coal mine developmentThe Penumbra mine was developed as an underground coal bord and pillar mining operation. The development cost of the mine was approximately $40m.
Coal mining and processing at Penumbra mineThe underground coal mining at Penumbra was commenced in November 2012 using two 14HM15 continuous miners. The coal production started from the C-lower seam, which has a depth between 50m to 115m and a thickness of 1.8m at depth.The ROM coal is processed at the 1.8mtpa processing plant at Delta Processing Operations (DPO) and is stockpiled at the 1.2mtpa Anthra Rail Siding. The DPO is currently processing the coal from the Ferreira pit.The ore undergoes a primary and secondary wash at the DPO. The export quality coal is transported to Richards Bay Coal Terminal and sold to EDF trading. The low quality thermal coal is sold to Eskom and used in the Camden power station.

The company states that after processing there will be 500,000 tonnes a year for sale to EDF Trading and for "other export off-take agreements."[1]The mine is expected to start production in the second quarter of 2012 and full production is to be reached in the third quarter of 2012. It expects to produce 750,000 mt/year of run-of-mine The coal is to be exported through the Richards Bay Coal Terminal.[2]
