Goedgevonden Coal Project is located near the southern margin of the Witbank Coalfield which is clearly defined by pre-Karoo granite and felsite hills. All five coal seams present in the Vryheid Formation are developed within the Goedgevonden Colliery Project Area. The Number 1 seam at the base is of poor quality and only developed in the paleo low areas. The No. 2 seam is the most extensively developed seam and consists of a basal bright band overlain by lustrous to dull lustrous coal with thin bright bands. The thin uneconomic No.3 seam is developed between the No. 2 and No. 4 seams. The No. 4 seam, being closer to surface is more influenced by weathering and is subsequently not as extensively developed as the No. 2 Seam. The No. 4 seam consists of a basal bright band overlain by a zone of dull and dull lustrous coal with thin bright bands and carbonaceous shale/mudstone partings. The No. 5 seam is preserved as erosional remnants on the higher ground and consists of a bright, well-banded, vitrain rich coal.

The Goedgevonden Complex is situated within the Witbank coal field. Opencast dragline mining operations in the area are extracting the No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5 seams. The No. 3 seam is too thin for practical extraction and the No.1 seam is not considered an economic Coal Resource in the area.
