PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Coal hopeful African Energy has declared an initial inferred coal resource of 2.5-billion tonnes at its Sese West project, in Botswana.

The inferred resource occurs about 2 km to the south of the company’s Sese coal deposit, which also has a 2.5-billion inferred resource, and is considered to represent the down-dip extension of the Sese project.

The addition of the Sese West inferred resource took African Energy’s total inventory to some 8.7-billion tonnes.

The miner told shareholders on Tuesday that a scoping study would be launched in June to determine the development options at Sese West.

The ASX-listed company recently completed a prefeasibility study at its Mmamabula West coal project, also in Botswana, where it was found that the project could support a three-million-tonne-a-year operation, with a mine life of 20 years.
