Sasol Mining, the coal mining arm of energy and chemicals group Sasol on Thursday unveiled the progress made over the past few years on its now nearly-completed R15.3-billion programme to replace its ageing coal mines in the Secunda area. Speaking during a site visit of the new Secunda-based Shondoni mine, the replacement for the mature Middelbult mine, Sasol senior VP Lucky Kgatle said the project had progressed “quite well”, with Sasol Mining’s ambition of replacing 60% of its operations that are nearing the end of their lives.
