Phalanndwa Extension which is located near Delmas, in Mpumalanga, has once again set a new mining record under the leadership of Kgotso Mongalo, who is the General Manager: Mining Operations responsible for Phalanndwa Extension and Ukufisa collieries.  

The mine achieved a new monthly mining record by mining 146 050 tons of run of mine (ROM) coal in May 2022, which is a significant increase from the previous record of 140 690 tons of ROM which was achieved in July 2021.

“Phalanndwa Colliery Extension commenced mining in July 2019 and has consistently achieved excellent results. This has been attained by a combination of an experienced team, stellar teamwork and by receiving support from our engineering team, who ensure that equipment is well maintained, breakdowns are rapidly dealt with to allow for our machinery to run optimally,” Kgotso highlights.

This production record has been achieved while maintaining Canyon Coal’s strict health and safety regulations, which are inherently linked to the value of Safe Production Tonnages and the overall goal of achieving Zero Harm.
