Welcome to Creamer Media’s Resources Watch, a weekly video round-up of the events and people making and shaping the news in the mining industry.

This week:
Glencore’s new low-cost Tweefontein coal mine comes in below budget.
BHP Billiton signs a R10-billion aluminium supply deal with a black consortium.
And, natural gas is a big greenhouse gas contributor.

Glencore’s Tweefontein Optimisation Project has delivered a low-cost, long-life brownfield expansion that has elevated Tweefontein into a modern, predominantly opencast operation that mines the rich pillar reserves that were left behind in discontinued underground workings.

The world’s biggest mining company BHP Billiton has agreed a R10-billion, five-year liquid metal supply contract with a black-controlled consortium in a transaction that gives the South African aluminium industry a shot in the arm.

Newco CEO-elect Graham Kerr

While South Africa is serious about integrating natural gas into the country’s energy mix, this could have unexamined consequences for South Africa’s contribution to global warming.
