INCIDENT HALTS PRODUCTION AT MAGDALENA MINE
TORONTO, ONTARIO – September 16, 2014: Buffalo Coal Corp. (TSX: BUF; JSE: BUC)
(“Buffalo”) has announced that operations at its Magdalena underground mine in South
Africa’s kwa-Zulu Natal Province have been halted following an incident involving the ingress of
water in one of the sections at the mine earlier today.
Buffalo’s emergency procedure was initiated and the mine has been evacuated safely.
Management is currently working to assess the extent and impact of the incident. The relevant
government regulator, the South African Department of Mineral Resources, has been informed.
Malcolm Campbell, Chief Executive Officer of Buffalo, comments “We are pleased with the
reaction of our emergency team and the implementation of our emergency procedures. The
safety of our employees is our top priority at all times.”
Magdalena currently produces around 1 million tons of bituminous coal a year, which forms
approximately 70% of Buffalo’s total annual production.
Further information will be released when this becomes available.
