JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Aim-listed Edenville Energy is pleased with the progress being made with the development of its Rukwa project, in Tanzania.
“The first half of 2017 was an extremely busy and transformational period for the company. Having raised funds in February to start production, we have been able to rapidly put in place the required infrastructure and are seeing strong demand for our coal.
"We look forward to the wash plant being operational shortly and commencing sales of washed coal, while continuing to advance our coal-to-power project in conjunction with our partner Sinohydro. The remainder of 2017 is expected to be equally busy,” CEO Rufus Short commented on Friday.
He added that the wash plant was on site and due to be fully operational by the end of this month.
Further, Edenville has bought the required critical mining equipment. Mining has started and unwashed coal has been supplied and stockpiled for washing.
“We have had strong interest and enquiries from various sources for our washed product and we look forward to formalising sales contracts once we are in a position to supply it,” said Short.
