[miningmx.com] -- Keaton Energy intends to proceed with its fourth coal mining project Leeuwfontein in Mpumalanga Province.

Amalahle Exploration, a 74%-held subsidiary of Keaton Energy, was awarded four prospecting rights over six discrete properties totalling 1 597 hectares in the Ermelo coal field in April 2008.

"Leeuwfontein will become the second of Keaton Energy's two smaller, short-life projects, after our Klip Colliery," Keaton managing director Paul Miller said.

Work has begun on an application for a mining right over Leeuwfontein, with a view to receiving regulatory approvals for open pit mining in the second half of 2010.
