Overview

About ZAC

ZAC is a distinguished producer of high-grade anthracite in South Africa. Strategically located in Emakhalathini, approximately 100 kilometres from the Richards Bay port in KwaZulu Natal, ZAC provides efficient supply to local and international markets. Our product is characterised by minimal ash content and low volatility.

The mine's resources were first discovered in 1981 through a joint venture between Transnatal Coal & Utah Mining. BHP Billiton spearheaded its development in 1985, with operations commencing in 1987. Over the years, ownership transitioned from BHP Billiton to Riversdale Mining in 2005 and ultimately to Menar in 2016. ZAC has product sizing and blending facilities tailored to meet market demands. Moving forward, our strategic focus is expanding operations and maintaining exceptional quality.
