What this report found

Government and industry aeromagnetic data over the Witbank Coalfield were merged into one set of maps and GIS compatible files, and roughly 1200 dyke traces were interpreted from them. Purchase of a 200 m line spacing government survey removed the need for infill flying. One participating company valued advance knowledge of a single underground dyke at about R15 million.

What this report found

Conventional cost accounting at the mines studied could not report on physical structure or materials flow, so environmental costs such as water, energy and consumables stayed hidden and chances to cut them were lost. Four case studies across different commodities and mining methods showed the same limitations. An environmental management accounting model is proposed to identify and allocate those costs.
