The site is in close proximity to Koornfontein and Goedehoop Mines. The site serves as a transfer station for final coal product, therefore no mining activities are undertaken here: Blinkpan Siding's full operations encompasses loading wagons with coal from the surrounding mines for transportation by rail to Eskom's Power Stations, the Richards Bay Coal Export Terminal as well as other ports and coal consumers. The siding receives final product for distribution to Majuba and Camden Power Stations respectively. Up to now Blinkpan has not been storing coal in quantities of more than 100 000 tonnes at a time, but does have the capacity to store and handle more than 100 000 tonnes.
