Morupule Coal Mine : Company History

The Morupule area is underlain by Karoo sedimentary rocks which form the Eastern margin of the major Karoo basin developed to the West of Morupule. These sedimentary rocks consist of shales, coals, and sandstones of the middle and lower Ecca.

Cramer explains: "SAFCEI has always maintained that the Karoo shale gas development might be a red herring, hiding that fact that coalbed methane (CBM) is proposed for the Limpopo and Mpumalanga coal fields in a big way.

Abstract. National audienceTo date, compared to other African Karoo basins in Africa (Catuneanu et al. 2005), littleattention has been paid to the sedimentological and stratigraphical analysis of the KarooSupergroup in Mozambique in the Tete Basin except for lithostratigraphy and detailed descriptionof the different coal seams (Vasconcelos, 1995, 2009; Paulino et al., 2013).

Collinson and Hammer: Migration of Triassic Tetrapods to Antarctica 3 environment for coal deposition had apparently shifted poleward as the southern Africa part of Gondwana moved into drier midlatitudes. In the Karoo basin, meandering stream deposition was replaced at the PermianTriassic boundary by lowsinuosity braided stream deposition.
