Aim-listed Edenville Energy has signed a contract to supply an East African industrial group with up to 4 000 t/m of coal for two years.
Payment for the coal will be based on local commercial rates and coal will be supplied with a gross calorific value greater than 4 800 kCal/kg.
Edenville is in the process of upgrading its coal project, Rukwa, in south-west Tanzania, to increase throughput and production, as well as ensure that the contract, product and transport requirements can be met.
From May 25 to August 9, Rukwa has processed 17 530 t of run-of-mine (RoM) coal, comprising 5 259 t of washed coal and 7 639 t of fine coal. This equates to an average daily throughput of RoM coal of 230 t/d.
