In August 2023, the FX plant broke the record of 260 788 plant feed tons which was exceptionally well and in October 2023 they broke another record of 265 318 plant feed tons. In this financial year both Plants, the DMS and FX managed to achieve six records of plant feed. Well done to the teams! The January performance showed a good start for the calendar year, let’s keep it up, so that we can achieve our objectives for the current financial year which will end at the end of March 2024.
The 2023 calendar year was a big year for Palesa Coal with the commencement of the Rooipoort extension project. The extension will add 32, 2 Mt of coal reserve to Palesa Coal and extend the life of mine “LoM”. During the 3rd quarter production was impacted by unfavorable weather conditions “rainy season” and sales were affected by client’s rejection of coal due to the percentage of fines in product, the fines challenges are being addressed both internally as well as with the client Eskom.
“Zero harm remains HCI Coal’s key safety objective at Palesa.”
On the Safety front, to date, Palesa Coal recorded 745 Lost Time Injuries (LTI) free days, and 2492 Fatal Incident (FI) free days. This is an exceptional achievement, and everyone can be proud of this. Palesa Coal has adopted the health and safety (H&S) rules to effectively ensure that a proactive H&S culture is fully embedded in its operation. This will also ensure that a vision of “zero harm” is achieved. Palesa Coal launched the critical season campaign in October 2023 under the theme “SEKWANELE”. We wish to extend our gratitude for such resilience during this difficult quarter.
