Mining Weekly Headlines

  • SIOC reportedly not the lone bidder for ‘lost' Sishen asset
    The Sishen Iron Ore Company (SIOC) is reportedly not the only mining company to have applied to the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) for the 21,4% undivided share of the Sishen iron-ore mine, which has reportedly been forfeited by JSE-listed steel group ArcelorMittal South Africa. The failure of ArcelorMittal South Africa to convert the right in line with the prescripts of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act was at the centre of SIOC's decision to cancel, as from March 1, 2010, a cost plus 3% supply agreement for 6,25-million tons of Sishen iron-ore supplied.
  • CoAL receives approval to take bulk-sample at Makhado
    South Africa's Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) has granted junior miner Coal of Africa Limited (CoAL) approval to take a bulk sample from its Makhado coking coal project. The Aim-, ASX- and JSE-listed CoAL holds a 100% interest in the Makhado project, which is expected to deliver five-million tons a year of hard coking coal product at full output.
  • Catalpa reports output rises at Queensland gold JV
