The Hlobane View Colliery is located 11 kilometers east of the town of Vryheid in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The mine is owned by Lontoh Coal, a small unlisted South African company seeking to develop coal mines in South Africa and Zimbabwe. The mine, Miningmx reports, was "previously operated by the former Duiker Mining (now Xstrata Coal) which sold it to Capital Coal which went into liquidation in 1999. The mine has not operated since then."[1]
The company states that it has "an estimated 6.3 Mt of coking reserves. First production is scheduled to commence during May 2010 with 1.2 Mt per annum production estimated from 2011 to 2014 and 1.8 Mt per annum estimated for 5 years thereafter."[2]
