MC Mining Ltd has advised that operations at its 70% owned Uitkomst colliery resumed 19 July 2021.

Bus service providers contracted by the company have advised the civil unrest in and around the towns and communities where the majority of the Uitkomst mine employees and contractors reside has sufficiently dissipated for employees to safely transit to and from the Uitkomst colliery.

The temporary suspension of operations has resulted in the loss of 3.5 days of run of mine coal production, equating to approximately 5600 t. The company is currently assessing mine plans with the objective of recovering some or all of the forgone production.
