Kinetic Development Lifts MC Mining Stake as Makhado Coal Project Nears 2026 Start

An announcement from Kinetic Mines & Energy Ltd. ( (HK:1277) ) is now available.

Kinetic Development Group has increased its stake in South Africa-focused coal producer MC Mining to about 44.01% of the enlarged share capital, following completion of the sixth tranche of a staged share subscription. The enlarged holding deepens Kinetic’s strategic influence over MC Mining’s sizable coal resource base of roughly 8.3 billion tonnes and aligns the group more closely with downstream coal production and export opportunities.

MC Mining’s flagship Makhado Project, which holds 706 million tonnes of in-situ resources and will produce coking coal and 5,500 kcal thermal coal, is advancing toward completion with key mining, processing, infrastructure, and power works largely on schedule. Construction is expected to finish by the end of March 2026, enabling joint trial operations from April 2026 and laying the groundwork for a new source of coal supply that could support Kinetic’s long-term growth and regional market presence.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1277) stock is a Hold with a HK$1.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kinetic Mines & Energy Ltd. stock, see the HK:1277 Stock Forecast page.
