Around 77% of South Africa's energy needs are directly derived from coal and 92% of coal consumed on the African continent is produced in South Africa. The use of coal in South Africa dates back to the iron age (300–1880 AD), when charcoal was used to melt iron and copper, but large-scale exploitation of coal did not occur until the mid-19th
Mining production in South Africa edged up 0.2 percent year-on-year in September of 2019, following a downwardly revised 3 percent drop in August and beating market expectations of a 2.2 percent decline. The largest positive contributions came from production of iron ore (8.2 percent); other non-metallic minerals (13.6 percent); and other metallic minerals (38 percent).

In April 2005, the Republic of the Congo introduced a new Mining Code under Law4-2005. The new mining code offers attractive terms and establishes a clear regime from exploration and exploitation agreements. The mining code allows foreign entities to control mining operations. This represented the first major overhaul to the mining code since 1965.
