About this development
The Mmamabula coalfield comprises two noncontiguous coal prospecting licences in the Mmamabula coalfields of south-eastern Botswana, namely the 50 840 ha Mmamabula East ad the 14 000 ha Mmamabula South prospects. The global mineral resource estimate for the project totals about 2,3 billion tons in the measured and indicated categories. An estimated 74 million tons is further reported in the inferred category.

At full production a total of about 7,5 millions to 9 millions tons of coal a year of run-of-mine coal will be required to support to Phase 1 power station. The phase 2 power station is expected to be of comparable size to Phase 1. Project value: $6 billion. Mmamabula GPS Co-ordinates :23.609295°S 26.774952°E
