Company description
Joel is a twin-shaft mining operation in the Free State, some 290km south-west of Johannesburg, on the southern edge of the Witwatersrand Basin.
A pre-developed scattered mining system is used, allowing for selective mining, leaving complex areas unmined, and takes into account the stability of footwall development. Mining is focused on the Beatrix reef up to a depth of 1 379m. The ore is processed at the Harmony One plant.
