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.
Audit and Diagnostic Assessment of Productivity in Continuous Miner Sections
2003
Mine level study of the human and social influences on continuous miner section output, using interviews, focus groups, observation and work study at participating collieries, for mine managers.
What this report foundSection performance was limited by the will and motivation of the workforce, not by equipment, layout or technical competence, all of which were found sound.

Section performance was limited by the will and motivation of the workforce, not by equipment, layout or technical competence, all of which were found sound. Team based bonus payments were the strongest motivator and reinforced cooperation across shifts and functions, but dependence on bonus income to meet monthly expenses turned it into a source of stress. Recognition in front of colleagues and family motivated strongly.

Intra-seam Sedimentological Controls on Coal Quality: 2 Seam, Witbank Coalfield
2003
Sub-seam mapping at an opencast colliery in the Witbank area, setting out a method geologists and resource estimators can apply to other seams.

Sub-seams within the No 2 Seam were characterised at a single test site using lithology, seam thickness, proximate analysis, petrography and geophysical logs, and a paleoenvironmental model was built from them. Wireline logs separated coal from interburden but could not resolve the individual zones, because the physical differences are too subtle. Better sedimentological models gave better reserve and resource estimates.
