MC marginally lifts Q1 output, despite Makhado delays

Run-of-mine coal production at MC Mining’s Uitkomst colliery increased to 125 153 t in the quarter ended September 30, compared with the 125 108 t produced in the comparable quarter of the prior year.

Third-party coal purchases for the quarter, which is the first quarter of MC’s 2019 financial year, were 12 466 t, compared with 45 313 t in the prior comparable quarter, as a result of the expiry of a supply contract during the year.
