South Africa (Northern Cape)

Sishen Mine (opened in 1947) is Kumba’s flagship operation and one of the largest open-pit mines in the world. It operates 24/7 and in 2008 it produced 34 million tons of iron ore.

With a mineral resource of 2 455 million tons, the mine has a life of more than 27 years at the current rate of production.

There are five distinguishing features of Sishen’s operations and products:

-   The high iron (Fe) content
-   Superior physical properties
-   Consistent product quality
-   Reliability of supply
-   ISO9001 and 14001 certification

Kolomela Mine has a life-of-mine of 30 years, with the possible extension to a beneficiated product thereafter. Total mineral resource is 373Mt at a 60% Fe cut-off and 408Mt at a 55% Fe cut-off.

The mine will be a standard truck and shovel operation with all mining done in-house.

It will consist of three different pits and will be a full dry crush and screen operation with a lump to fine ratio of 60:40.

Total capital expenditure (capex) is expected to be R8.5 billion.
