Quality pass rate91%+2,3%

Silverlakes built stock-on-hand to 85.5 kt while sustaining a 91% quality pass rate and lifting gross margin +5.1% on firmer RBCT pricing. RB4 remains the principal risk: below the export NAR floor and loss-making at current realised prices. The recommended action is to accelerate RB2 blending and prioritise Spiral parcels for premium slots.

Tonnage & throughput

Intake outpaced dispatch by 6 580 t, lifting closing stock to a healthy buffer ahead of the winter rail programme. RB2 and Spiral accounted for 71% of dispatched tonnage, both running above 95% rake utilisation.

Quality position

Composite NARCV held at 5 612 kcal/kg, comfortably above the 5 500 export floor. RB4 was the sole grade in breach at 4 790 kcal/kg; blending 30% RB2 lifts the composite into band without exceeding the 18% ash ceiling.

Financial performance

Fully-loaded cost per tonne averaged R1 386 against a realised R1 698, delivering R312/t blended margin. Spiral remains the margin leader at R379/t; RB4 is dilutive at −R53/t and should be capped until pricing recovers.

Rail readiness & risk

Three parent stockpiles are rail-ready with eleven trains buildable against the 12 kt minimum. The key risk is the unconfirmed Transnet slot for TFR 48871 — escalation recommended to protect the RB3 dispatch window.
