About Kolomela mine
The Kolomela iron ore mine is an open-pit iron ore mine located in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. Previously known as the Sishen South project, the Kolomela mine has been in production since December 2011.
The Kolomela mine is owned and operated by Anglo American’s Kumba Iron Ore business unit through its subsidiary Sishen Iron Ore Company (SIOC). Anglo American has a 76.3% stake in SIOC while the remaining interest is held by black economic empowerment (BEE) shareholders including Exxaro, SIOC Community Development Trust and Envision.
The Kolomela mine produced 13.2Mt of direct shipping iron ore in 2019 compared to 13.9Mt in the previous year. The stripping ratio of the mine was optimised from 4.1 to 3.8 in 2019.
The mining right for the Kolomela mine was granted in September 2008 for a 30-year mining period. Although the original mine life was estimated to be 14 years, Anglo American is carrying out the expansion of the mine to increase the total production life to more than 20 years.
