Evaluate the Remaining Resources of Low Phosphorus Coal in Mpumalanga Province

D.S. Xaba

Assessment of remaining metallurgical grade coal in the Witbank, Highveld and Ermelo coalfields from national borehole records, for resource planners and buyers of reductant coal.

What this report found

Tonnage estimates for the remaining low phosphorus resource could not be produced, because the phosphorus analyses supplied by mining companies did not state what had been measured. Distribution trends were still mapped. Coal at or below 0.010 per cent phosphorus is widespread in the Witbank Coalfield, restricted to the far northwestern Highveld, and follows a northwest to southeast band in eastern Ermelo.

What this report found

Dust masks worn by load haul dump operators passed 200 mg of filter loading in an average of 1.7 hours, and continuous miner, shuttle car and roofbolt operators reached the same point within two to five hours. Every mask failed laboratory fit testing. An eight hour service life is too long.
