Universal Coal tests Donkin coal project

On September 7, South African-based coal producer Universal Coal released information regarding the coal qualities of its recently acquired Donkin coal project adjacent to its Somerville coking coal project in the Limpopo Province of South Africa.
 
Universal Coal secured an additional farm-in agreement to achieve a 50 percent shareholding of the Donkin property on August 31.
 
The area has a gross historic JORC inferred resource of 42.4 million mt covering 1,178 hectares. Historical data indicates that three coal zones are present with a combined thickness of eight metres. Depth to the coal zone is anticipated as being at 20-70 metres.
 
Coking test results are not available; however, there is a likelihood of some coking ability for the lower density fraction of coal from the locality, as observed from data on Universal Coal's adjacent Somerville project.
