According to group CEO Morne du Plessis, Minergy has benefited from the price momentum of a burgeoning commodity market, including South African coal, which has seen the highest export coal pricing in a decade. In addition, he said, average pricing has increased from a stronger South African rand, which resulted in higher pula recovered prices at the mine in the last six months and a better product mix featuring larger fraction products.
