African Energy targets Sese coal for export

The company has outlined the potential to ramp up to five million tonnes annually over a short time frame, with a conceptual target of 20-30 million tonnes per year through to the export market.

The Sese project, located 50 kilometres south of Francistown, is expected to have a mine life of between 50 and 100 years, depending on production levels. In a statement, the company said currently the resource breaks down as 0.5 billion tonnes indicated and 2.23 billion tonnes inferred. The company is also set to commence a definitive feasibility study this month, with a decision on an initial one million tonne per annum development by early 2013.
