Progressing Tanzania's brownfield Rukwa Coalfields towards a commercial development decision
|
• Rukwa Coalfields - Mkomolo, Namwele and Muze projects - previously mined, near-surface coal deposits
• 173 million total tonnes in-situ at Mkomolo, Namwele and Muze combined, of which 57.5 million tonnes Measured and Indicated at 17.42 MJ/kg (float density = 2.0, yield = 34.4%)
• 90% of this resource tonnage lies within Mkomolo and Namwele; Muze still to be fully evaluated
• Coal confirmed as suitable, after washing, for coal fired power generation
• Robust geological model; resource constrained to discrete coal zones identified within the overall coal measure sequence
• Independent, commercial evaluation of Phase I mining at Namwele to commence April 2013
