      New Matla Mine 1 powers SA\u2019s energy future<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

      Exxaro officially opened the new Mine 1 operation, securing long-term supply to the Matla Power Station, as part of its R5.2 billion Matla Life-of-Mine project.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

      It was with great pride that we officially opened the new Mine 1 operation at Matla Mine in Mpumalanga, a strategic milestone that will support both the long-term future of the operation and South Africa\u2019s energy supply.<\/p>\n

      The new Mine 1 forms part of Exxaro\u2019s broader Matla life-of-mine project \u2013 a R5.2-billion long-term megaproject designed to provide safe and continued access to the remaining coal reserves, while improving efficiency and ensuring consistent delivery in line with Exxaro\u2019s new long-term CSA with Eskom, which runs until November 2043.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
