MC Mining said it has not revised previously disclosed production objectives, reiterated a design to produce 800,000 tonnes of hard coking coal per year, and stated steady-state production is planned to be reached by the end of calendar year 2026. It also reported 1,005 lost-time injury free days (1,542,000 manhours) to end-December 2025 and zero reportable environmental incidents, and said the onsite workforce totals 970 people, including 435 employed from the Makhado municipal area.
