Background
The Theunissen coal project was listed as a possible South African coal project in BHP Billiton's 2009 Annual Report. The company listed it as a possible underground mine producing thermal coal. It listed it as having a total resource of 933 million tonnes.[2] In 2011, BHP announced it was selling off Theunissen prospecting rights[3] and had completed divestment of Theunissen in January 2013.[4]
BHP Billiton Energy Coal South Africa is BHP Billiton's wholly owned subsidiary which develops coal projects in South Africa.
