RUKWA

COAL TO POWER PROJECT

MINING
MINING PROJECT AT AN ADVANCED STAGE
Construction completed. Mining and washing operations underway. Commercial sales made.

Mining Licence Granted over Mkomolo – rapid application process took 7 months.

Mining Environmental Impact Assessment Certificate granted.

The wash plant is owned and operated by Edenville – Results in a considerable saving on plant processing costs compared with using a contract washing facility.

The Mine is currently producing up to 4,000t per month of coal for sale and the Company is seeking to increase production up to 10,000t per month in the near term.

Power Development

Edenville Project Concept Study already accepted and approved by Tanesco.

Rukwa Power Project is part of the “MEM Power System Master Plan 2016 Update”.

MOU signed with Sinohydro of China who will complete the Bankable Feasibility Study.

Independent Financial Model Developed which supports strong economics of Lahmeyer study – NPV10$252m; +20% IRR.

Power Plant Environmental Impact Assessment Study underway – approx 40% complete.

Updated mineable resource assessment and bulk sampling shows majority of coal can be fed to power plant with only
minimal washing treatment required –providing a considerable cost saving on fuel and adding upside to the Feasibility
Study.

Rukwa
COAL TO POWER PROJECT - OVERVIEW

Rukwa Coal to Power

The Company’s core asset is the Rukwa Coal to Power Project, located in western Tanzania, ~25km by road to the north-east of the major commercial centre of Sumbawanga.

Rukwa Coalfields

The Rukwa Coalfields are comprised of the Mkomolo, Namwele and Muze deposits – historical small scale mining having taken place.

JORC Resources

Total in-situ JORC Resources across 3 deposits: 173Mt.

  • 90% of this resource tonnage lies within Mkomolo and Namwele; Muze still to be fully evaluated – high potential because of a historical 60 million tonne resource.
  • Approximately USD12M spent to date by Edenville to develop the asset.
  • Edenville Energy plc through its Tanzanian subsidiary Edenville International Tanzania Ltd own a 90% interest in the coal project.

Power Generation

Ideally suited for coal fired power generation.

Ownership

Edenville Energy plc own 100% of Edenville Power Tanzania Ltd established to develop the power plant.
