Anglo American Coal

In South Africa, a substantial proportion of our production was, until recently, thermal coal used for the generation of domestic electricity. Today the focus is firmly set upon a select group of high performing Mpumalanga-based assets for the supply of around 19 million tonnes of thermal coal a year to export markets across several continents. This shift became effective on 1 March 2018, with the sale of our Eskom-tied mines – Kriel, New Denmark and New Vaal – to Seriti. Seriti is a broad-based, majority black-owned and controlled mining company that will ensure the continued supply of coal to the national utility. The transaction included our New Largo resource, and serves to reinforce Anglo American’s long-standing commitment to economic empowerment and sustainable transformation of the South African mining landscape.
