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.

Gaps sat in commercial exposure, financial and accounting skills, industrial relations, quality standards, administration and project management.

South African underground sections average about 60 000 t a month, against 130 000 to 160 000 t for single pass bolter miner units on continuous haulage, while the better sections target 1.4 to 1.6 Mt a year. Australian longwalls deliver 5 to 7 Mt a year from one face, compared with 3 to 5 Mt at the two local wall operations.
