JSW MAY BUY AFRICAN MINE FOR US$ 350


The Economic Times Reported that, The Sajjan Jindal-owned JSW Group is in advanced talks to acquire a coal mine in Swaziland, Africa, at an estimated cost of about $350 million (around Rs 1,680 crore). The move is part of the group’s efforts to secure coal supplies for its forthcoming power projects and is also in line with the recent steps taken by the Indian government to allow domestic companies to buy mines overseas, said people familiar with the development.

The JSW Group, which also owns India’s third-largest steel company, has been carrying out a detailed geological exploration in the Emaswati Colliery (Mpaka Mine) and Maloma anthracite mine, in the eastern part of Swaziland, which has a major chunk of the country’s over one billion tonne coal reserves.

JSW had earlier signed an MoU with the government of Swaziland for detailed exploration of coal reserves in the African country. A final approval for prospecting and mining rights will be granted by the mineral management board of Swaziland.

JSW’s move is also a part of the recent efforts made by the government of Swaziland that had invited global partners to build a coal-fired thermal power station in Mpaka, which has coal reserves of about 150 million tonne.

Apart from being used in the generation of thermal power, coal is also vital for steelmaking. It can be an important move by the Jindals to reduce their production cost. JSW officials declined to comment. JSW Energy, part of the JSW Group, has scheduled an initial public offer to raise Rs 3,000 crore that will part-finance power projects with a total capacity of 3,000 mw. The group said it plans to have total power producing capacity of 11,400 mw by 2015.

Strong demand from steelmakers, especially from Chinese mills, has led coal prices to rebound from a 35% decline last year, with international agencies saying that coal futures for September delivery at Rotterdam have risen 39%. This has enabled most companies to scout for global raw material assets before they rise further.

In fact, on Thursday, state-owned Coal India said it will invest about $1.5 billion (about Rs 7,200 crore) to acquire coal mines overseas to tackle tight supplies as India plans to almost double power capacity. India could likely see shortage of about 228 million tonne by March 2012.

ET had recently reported that JSW Energy is close to finalising a coal-supply linkage pact in Indonesia and is also exploring options to acquire coal mines in South Africa and Australia.

JSW signed a coal sales purchase contract in January with PT Sungai Belati Coal of Indonesia for the supply of coal. The coal shipments are scheduled to start from June 2011 with the supply of one million tonne. The quantity of coal to be bought by JSW in every delivery year shall progressively increase to 8 million tonne by 2014.
