Coastal Fuels is a proudly 100% Black owned and controlled Junior Mining Company and have been successfully operating under the skilful management of Xolisa Mvinjelwa since 2008 when the company bought the assets of Carolina Coal (a company that had been operating since 1997).

Coastal Fuels own mining and surface rights as well as a fully operational coal mine, wash plant as well as coal trading services in Carolina. Located just 5km outside of Carolina on the R33, both mining and wash plant operations have easy access to main routes and are situated within 2-5km of both Droogvallei and Carolina rail sidings making this a prime location.

Through valuable partnerships with leading coal producers Coastal has built a strong coal sourcing network enabling us to procure, market, sell and deliver coal to a varied market of users, both export and dometsic.

In addition to the mining and wash plant operations located in Carolina, Coastal also has prospecting rights in Ermelo within 5km distance from Sheepmoor siding.

Coastal Fuels has exported a total of 800,000tons of coal through RBCT since 2014.

Vision

In an ever-changing industry, Coastal Fuels vision is to become a medium-sized, diversified black junior mining company which will be primarily involved in mining coal for both the domestic and export market.  Coastal Fuels intention is to own, control and operate mining and mining related business (down and upstream) in South Africa.

Our vision is to become a facilitator where possible, in the synergistic consolidation of regional black junior miners in order to create scale and maximise synergies. However, more importantly, to reduce the serious risk faced by junior miners of reliance on small and non-contiguous reserves.

With our combined and diverse expertise as well as a strong presence in the mining industry we hope to ensure a meaningful and much needed positive contribution to South Africa’s economic growth and in turn empowering and uplifting the surrounding communities.
