Limestone mine slated for June in Matsiloje

The new mine will use an existing plant in Matsiloje, 30 kilometres east of Francistown, bought by Nortex - MPC's parent company - from an exposed bank.
"I have been waiting for the licence for the past nine months," said Nortex Managing Director Mukesh Josh, whose company is better known for textiles.
"I am happy that we can now proceed with the first phase of the project. I am excited because it means work can start."

It is projected that the mine will produce 300 tonnes per day with a workforce of 100 people. It has an estimated life of 15 years.
Workers were already clearing the site last week as the company advertised vacancies for geologists and engineers.
