The Goedgevonden Coal Resource area is situated along the southern margin of the central portion of the Witbank Coal Field. The stratigraphy of the Witbank Coal Field consists of five bituminous coal seams within the 70-metre-thick succession of the Vryheid formation of the Ecca Group, consisting predominantly of sandstone with subordinate siltstone and mudstone. The seams are numbered from oldest to youngest: No 1 to No 5 Seam, with the No 5 Seam at the top. The seams vary in thickness, from less than 0.5 metres to over 6 metres, and do not exceed 300 metres in depth from surface. The coal seams dip at less than 5º. Coal seam morphology and qualities may be locally influenced by basement topography, surface weathering and intrusion of dolerite dykes and sills. Coal qualities vary within and between individual seams. The low-quality coals, suitable for the local steam coal market, have a calorific value of 18 to 22 MJ/kg. All five coal seams are developed on Goedgevonden. The No 1 Seam is of low quality, thin, and only developed in paleo-low areas. The No 2 Seam is extensively developed and is of good quality and is, on average, 6 metres thick. The No. 3 Seam is of good quality bul, with an average thickness of anly 0.3 metres, is uneconomic. The No 4 Seam, being closer to surface and although of the same thickness as the No 2 Seam, is influenced by weathering and is not as extensively developed. The No 5 Seam is of good quality, but is preserved as erosional remnants on the high ground only and thus not extensively developed over the area.The northern part of Goedgevonden is adjacent to the Ogies dyke, which plays a role in geological structures and features encountered within the area.
