Thabametsi project
Exxaro Coal planned to commence with an operation (coal mining and beneficiation) to supply the planned Thabametsi IPP with coal. Progress on
the IPP project was ceased at the end of 2021 due to the stakeholders no longer supporting the project.
Due to the cessation of the IPP project, certain assets which related to the Thabametsi project were reallocated to the infrastructure of the bigger
Grootegeluk operation. On 31 December 2021, an impairment charge relating to the remaining Thabametsi project assets has been processed.
