JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Aim-listed Edenville Energy on Friday said work at the Rukwa coal project site, in south-west Tanzania, was progressing, with the majority of the wash plant components now on site and the last shipment due for delivery next week.
In an update to shareholders, the company noted that construction had started with the concrete foundation pad for the drum section in the final stages of completion.
Edenville highlighted that the establishment of the screen component had been completed and was undergoing operational testing, which would allow sized coal to be distributed to customers with requests pending.
“The completion of the screen will provide a consistently sized product and four groups are planning to take delivery of screened product shortly. We are in communication with others to take both screened coal and washed coal once the plant construction is completed,” Edenville said.
In parallel with the plant, a laboratory is being built on site that will be able to provide proximate analysis data for quality control.
