South Africa: Pan African completes acquisition deal for Uitkomst mine
Wednesday, 06 April 2016 04:09
Pan African Resources Plc, precious metals mining group active in South Africa, has completed the acquisition of the Uitkomst coal mine in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa. The project was acquired for R150 million (working capital included) down from R200 million announced in June 2015.
“We are pleased to have finalised the transaction and we welcome the Uitkomst colliery employees to the group. The transaction is expected to be value accretive to Pan African,” said CEO of Pan African, Cobus Loots.
The company said Uitkomst would be implementing a black-economic empowerment (BEE) transaction similar to those currently in place at its Barberton and Evander projects. The transaction would increase the disadvantaged on-mine ownership by 9%.
The Uitkomst mine had an average run-of-mine of 50 000t/m and average saleable coal production of 34 000t/m. It has a 28 year life-of-mine and sustaining capital of R10 million/yr. Profit and cashflow are between 30 and 35 million rand.
