PALAPYE: Morupule South Resources (MSR), a subsidiary of listed junior miner, Shumba Energy, is rapidly advancing a P400 million coal project, with construction due to begin within two years.

The mine will be built on over 600 hectares of land around the settlements of Masuakoloi and Segakwane. The settlements are a few kilometres  southeast of Palapye near Morupule Coal Mine (MCM).

MSR director, Comfort Molosiwa told villagers gathered at an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) meeting here this week that activities in advancement of the open cast mine were progressing well towards construction. He said while the area was estimated to contain 2.5 billion tonnes of coal, MSR was targeting the extraction of between 1.5 million and 2.5 million tonnes per annum. The only producing coal mine in the country at the moment, MCM, is producing about three million tonnes per annum.
