FOREWORD 

This directory, an update of previous editions, lists all collieries in 

operation or being commissioned in 2004 located within the confines of 

the Republic of South Africa. Details of the mines, especially coal sales 

figures, were supplied by the various coal companies, to whom thanks 

are due. 

The information is grouped under the names of the mining groups and 

controlling companies and listed in group or mine order of importance 

(coal output); included are mine locations, seams worked, coal types, 

mining and preparation methods, transport, sales tonnages (as far as 

these are available for publication), and main markets. 

Analytical data, by courtesy of the SABS (Coal and Minerals Services, 

Coal Exploration and Technology), are incorporated in an Appendix, as is 

a separate list of anthracite producers and the main coal exporting 

companies. 

Statistical tables have been revised and updated. 

In 2004, the country’s total saleable coal production was approximately 

242 Mt, of which 0,5% was anthracite and the rest bituminous coal. 

Local sales of 176 Mt (worth R13,192 billion) and exports of 67,9 Mt 

with a value of R14,5 billion are expected in 2004. 

We trust that this publication will prove a useful work of reference to all 

those concerned with South Africa’s coal mining industry, both locally 

and internationally.
