We would like to take this opportunity to introduce our BEE Company Malatleng CC to you.

Malatleng currently has an office in Witbank and offers the following services:

Site supervision. Ron Saunders our newest member liaises with farmers, land occupiers and lays out all the boreholes with our GPS. He is on site during the week and liaises daily with the drillers, geologists, wire line loggers and clients. Ron ensures that the drillers sites are clean and that they adhere to the Health & Safety requirements. He also ensures that all the logistics associated with placing boreholes, communicating with our core loggers, surveyors, farmers and drillers runs smoothly and efficiently on each site. Ron checks and photographs the site rehabilitation on completion of each borehole.

Core logging. Our loggers log core in the field according to the clients’ specifications. Samples are taken according to client standards and delivered to the laboratories. Malatleng currently offers coal logging but can call on various subcontractors for other commodities. A thorough check is kept on sample names, depths and masses as well as core recoveries and the general drilling standards.

Data capture. All bore hole data is captured electronically and processed according to client specifications. Examples of Malatleng’s coal logging out-put in PDF or jpeg. format is shown below. All raw data, analytical data and processed data can either be placed on a web folder with a secure password fore the client’s easy access or burnt on to a DVD and delivered.
