Government and industry aeromagnetic data over the Witbank Coalfield were merged into one set of maps and GIS compatible files, and roughly 1200 dyke traces were interpreted from them. Purchase of a 200 m line spacing government survey removed the need for infill flying. One participating company valued advance knowledge of a single underground dyke at about R15 million.
Application of Earth ion Exchange Technology to Convert Acid Mine Drainage from Kilbarchan Colliery into Saleable Products
2010
Pilot scale ion exchange trial on acid drainage pumped from a closed colliery in KwaZulu-Natal, for mine water managers weighing alternatives to reverse osmosis.
What this report foundIon exchange treatment of acid mine drainage from a closed KwaZulu-Natal colliery was piloted and shown to give effluent free processing, converting the salts...

Ion exchange treatment of acid mine drainage from a closed KwaZulu-Natal colliery was piloted and shown to give effluent free processing, converting the salts into saleable products rather than sludge and brine. Reverse osmosis had previously produced water of discharge standard but left both. Combined flow from the two mine compartments averaged 4.6 megalitres a day.
Development of Seam-Specific Strength Formulae for South African Collieries
2006
Statistical back analysis of an expanded collapse database, testing power, linear and non-linear strength models, for rock engineers setting pillar safety factors.
What this report foundBack analysis of 77 collapsed and 245 uncollapsed pillar cases showed that much of the scatter in pillar strength comes from differences between coalfields, so...
R1500,00
Back analysis of 77 collapsed and 245 uncollapsed pillar cases showed that much of the scatter in pillar strength comes from differences between coalfields, so a single national formula is unrealistic. Seam specific formulae were derived for the major coalfields; Free State and KwaZulu Natal data remained too sparse. The lognormal safety factor distribution was retained.
