Development of Junior Management and Supervisory Personnel for the Mining Section of the Future

Interviews, questionnaires and on site observation at three South African collieries, with recommended training content and selection criteria for supervisors and junior managers in mining sections.

by A Crafford, L Smith and P F Stewart | April 2004

What this report found

Mines already provide substantial training and their junior managers were found motivated and committed, yet development at this level remains problematic. Gaps sat in commercial exposure, financial and accounting skills, industrial relations, quality standards, administration and project management. The report sets out the attributes to screen for at appointment and a framework that makes candidates responsible for their own development.

What this report found

Shallow coal suitable for small scale opencast working was mapped in the northern Witbank and Highveld coalfields, using a limit of 30 m from surface to the top of the first seam. Most outcrop areas examined proved already mined out, and depth to the top seam increases southwards, though some ground remains available. Obtaining resource data was the main obstacle.
