Group Profile

Sentula Mining Limited has been listed on the Main Board of the JSE since 1993. The Company is actively involved in opencast mining, exploration drilling and rehabilitation and is one of the major suppliers of outsourced mining services in the South African coal mining industry. Sentula has grown to become a leading mining services provider currently with operations in 16 African countries. The Company’s foothold in the coal and energy sector, coupled with its diversified service offering, client base, mineral exposure and geographical spread, have stood it in good stead during recent challenging economic conditions.

Sentula is currently invested in six coal mining projects; three in South Africa, one in Botswana, one in Zambia and one in Mozambique. Sentula has an interest in the Nkomati Anthracite colliery, an operating mine close to Komatipoort in eastern Mpumalanga. Anthracite is produced as a coke blend for domestic and export consumption, from opencast and underground operations. Applications for mining licences have been lodged at Bankfontein and Schoongezicht in the Ermelo and Delmas regions respectively and it is estimated they should produce about 1.5 million tonnes per annum. The Company has an interest in the coal joint venture, Asenjo Energy, based in Botswana which encompasses three significant coal deposits, estimated to contain approximately 10 billion tonnes of in-situ coal. Sentula also has an interest in the Indongo mining project based in Zambia. These coal prospects have been earmarked for energy and power generation across the region and abroad.
