Background

The New Clydesdale Colliery is a multi-product open cast and underground mine with the ability to produce domestic and export quality product. NCC has a 1.6 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) off-take agreement with Eskom, South Africa’s largest power generator, until 2024, and an export offtake for 650 thousand tonnes per annum with a global trader.[1]

The colliery has changed ownership on several occasions, and its list of previous owners include Universal Coal and Exxaro Coal.[2][3] Today, it is co-owned by TerraCom and Ndalamo Resources. (In June 2020, TerraCom acquired 100% of Universal's shares.)[4]
