Glencore’s new low-cost Tweefontein coal mine coming in below budget

The new coal emerging from Glencore’s on-time, 85%-complete, R8.213-billion Tweefontein Optimisation Project (TOP) is coming in under budget. The project has delivered a low-cost, long-life brownfields expansion that has elevated Tweefontein into a modern, predominantly opencast operation that mines the rich pillar reserves that were left behind in discontinued underground workings.
