Evaluate the Remaining Resources of Low Phosphorus Coal in Mpumalanga Province
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.
by D.S. Xaba | October 2004
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.
