South African Coal Mining Techniques Methods, Impact
South Africa's coal mining industry dates back to the late 19th century when commercial mining operations began in the Witbank coalfield. Over the years, the industry has evolved, adopting various mining methods to extract coal from the earth efficiently. Today, South Africa is a major player in the global coal market.the South African coal industry. 2. OCCURRENCE South Africa has 19 coal fields within the Karoo Super Group. The country’s coal resources rank fifth in the world with total recoverable reserves estimated at 66.7 billion tons. The Waterberg, Highveld, Witbank, Free State and Ermelo fields have the greatest proportion of remaining reserves.SOUTH AFRICA’S COAL INDUSTRY OVERVIEW, 2014

Coal was first mined on a commercial basis in South Africa in 1857 and the country is currently the 6th largest coal producer in the world. Whilst in-roads have and are being made into clean energy (including wind and solar power) coal remains the primary energy source in South Africa for domestic power generation, and is set to dominate theThe History of Coal Mining. Coal was used in South Africa as far back as the Iron Age (300 1880 AD). During this time charcoal was used to melt copper and iron. Large-scale usage of coal only started happening around the middle of the 19th century. Coal mining has undergone major development over the years.Coal Mining in Africa Mining Africa

Why coal mining matters Mining for schools
The coal mining industry benefits the South African economy and its people in many ways: Over 81% of South Africa’s electricity requirements and over 30% of liquid fuel demand (coal-to-liquids technology) are derived from coal; Post COVID, South Africa’s production has dropped from roughly 250Mt annually to approximately 230Mt in In contrast, approximately 1% of the coal mined in South Africa is of metallurgical/coking quality ((IEA, 2017; Peatfield, 2003; Prévost, 2013). The quality of metallurgical coals that are mined in South Africa are largely limited to semi-soft coking coal (SSCC) and pulverized coal for injection (PCI) coal (Hancox and Götz, 2014; Jeffrey, 2005).Petrographic and geochemical characteristics of beneficiated
