GeoZone - Applied Geology & Geotechnics

Coal Exploration

Coal Geology expertise has been aquired during “hands-on” exploration, drilling and mining activity in KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and Swaziland coalfields and adjacent SADC countries over the last 40 years including consulting services to Maloma (currently Xstrata), Genmin/Ingwe’s Mpaka (Emaswati) and Lubukhu Anthracite Collieries. At the same time, various exploration initiatives have been examined in the Swaziland Government’s CMA Prospecting Areas and elsewhere for numerous clients, with production of several confidential reports and “Review” documents. The expertise available enables speedy initial assessment and recommendations for any proposed “target” area presented, more than likely with considerable cost savings, enabling realistic identification of exploration requirements and methodology to enable opencast, underground and UCG exploitation.

The strategic partnership of DWT & A and GeoZone GeoServies has access to registered Geological, Geotechnical and Environmental scientists, Mining, Civil, Metallurgical (Coal Processing), Combustion and Ventilation Engineers, Surveyors, GIS, Data capture and Computer Modeling experts, together with Financial and Legal services, all of the highest order. Detailed CV’s of all participating experts are available on request.
