Sese colliery to come on stream in two years

Speaking during the company's listing ceremony in Gaborone yesterday, chairman Blackie Marole said the company's envisaged mining operation would bring both employment opportunities and significant economic benefits as the country turned to coal revenue for diversification within the mining industry.

"Whilst we have a lot of hard work ahead to complete the feasibility study and the environmental impact assessment, we believe that this project will be one of the first of a new generation of coal mines that will enable Botswana to become a major exporter of coal for many years to come," Marole said.
