          the secondary product from the export beneficiation plant is supplied to secunda operations.
         
          the nominated capacity of the mines is the expected production of that mine and does not represent the total maximum capacity of the mine.
         
          production excludes externally purchased coal.
         
          off-shift production is a legally permitted, voluntary shift system allowing mine workers to produce coal on their non-working shifts. this shift system provides the mine with a flexibility option to catch up on production shortfall. the mine workers are remunerated for this production on a cost per ton basis.

          the gross in situ coal resource is an estimate of the coal tonnage, contained in the full coal seam above the minimum thickness cut off and relevant coal quality cut off parameters. no loss factors are applied and seam height does not include external dilution or contamination material.
         
          the recoverable coal reserve is an estimate of the expected recovery of the mines in these areas and is determined by the subtraction of losses due to geological and mining factors and the addition of dilatants such as moisture and contamination.
         
          the p% of p34 refers to the export product yield from the recoverable coal reserve and the s% of s37 refers to secondary product yield, which will be supplied to the secunda operations. the balance of this is discard material.
         
          mt refers to 1 million tons. reference is made of tons, each of which equals 1 000 kilograms, approximately 2 205 pounds or 1 102 short tons.

          a productive well is an exploratory, extension or development well that is not a dry well. a dry well is an exploratory, extension or development well that proves to be incapable of producing either oil or natural gas in sufficient quantities to justify completion.
         
          the number of wells being drilled includes wells that have been drilled, but have not yet been mechanically completed to enable production. wells which are awaiting only surface connection to a production facility are considered to be completed.
         
          an extension well is a well drilled to extend the limits of a known reservoir.
