Anglo American's South African iron ore unit said it plans to spend R3.6 billion to extend the life of its giant Sishen open pit operation to 2040 through the use of new technology.
The sprawling Sishen operation in the Northern Cape would continue to mine for the next two decades as the company improves efficiency and deploys new technology through its high-density media separation project, Themba Mkhwanazi, chief executive officer of Kumba Iron Ore, said in a statement on Tuesday. Kumba had initially planned to mine at Sishen for the next 13 years.
While Kumba sees demand for iron ore, underpinned by China, as likely to remain robust due to supply constraints, prices at current levels aren't sustainable, Timo Smit, the miner's head of marketing, said during the conference call. Kumba realised an average price of $115 per ton last year, as prices climbed.
Kumba's shares were trading 1.6% down at R657.44 as of 13.30 on Tuesday.
