Junior coal mining company Tegeta Resources and Exploration is on schedule to start operations at its Brakfontein colliery extension project in September and begin supplying coal to State-owned power utility Eskom from the new site by October 1 this year, Tegeta special adviser Jacques Roux tells Mining Weekly. The Brakfontein colliery is 20 km from Delmas, in Mpumalanga, and the extension project is located directly opposite the existing operation.
