Miningmx reports that the JSE and ASX-listed coal miner has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) and South African National Parks (SANParks).

The company’s shares traded 8.9% higher at R8.50 following the announcement, before retreating to R8.20 (up 5.1%) ."
