Contracts Witbank Operation New Exxaro contract awarded to MACTRANSCO Operations mainly take place at the Exxaro Inyanda coal mine near Witbank in Mpumalanga. MACTRANSCO's involvement with the Inyanda mine can be divided into two phases: Phase 1 Loading of tipper trucks by way of front-end loaders (FEL) with run of mine coal (ROM). Transportation of 150 000 tons of ROM per month from Inyanda to the New Clydesdale colliery mine for processing and export purposes. Phase 2 Loading of tipper trucks by way of front-end loaders (FEL) with washed coal. Transportation of washed coal from Inyanda to Blackhill Siding consisting of 100 000 tons of A-grade steam coal and 20 000 tons of sized coal per month repectively. MACTRANSCO also provides front-end loaders at Blackhill Siding in order to fill jumbo wagon trains with 80 tons of coal within a 4 hour period.

Exxaro mine Thsikondeni EXXARO RECOURCES' TSHIKONDENI MINE MACTRANSCO is the sole transport service provider for Tshikondeni Coal Mine owned by Exxaro Resources and has been responsible for the transport of the run-of-mine and final product, as well as the private siding since 1982. The service we deliver to Tshikondeni mine can be divided into three key areas of responsibility, namely;   RUN-OF-MINE Specially designed trailers are used to transport unprocessed coal from the outer shafts to the main plant. These vehicles operate 24 hours a day, 6 days per week and deliver on average 500 000 tons per annum, this provides a constant flow of raw coal enabling the plant to operate 24 hours a day uninterruptedly.   TRANSPORT OF FINAL PRODUCT Using our own front-end loader, the final product is loaded onto our trucks and transported to Musina, which is situated 140km west of Tshikondeni mine. These trucks also operate 24 hours a day, 6 days per week and travel approximately 3.7 million kilometers per annum. The coal is then off-loaded at our private siding and stockpiled, ensuring a minimum buffer of 10 000 tons at all times.   PRIVATE SIDING The final product is loaded onto Spoornet block trains using two of our front-end loaders. During the loading process, samples are taken of the coal and a moisture analysis is done by our weighbridge controller. Each train consists of 40 wagons and is weighed using an in-motion weighbridge installed on our siding, before it leaves for Mittal Steel in Vanderbijlpark were it is used in the steel manufacturing process.
