Yes it looks like one of mine! :)
In answer to your questions, currently as far as we are aware Edenville are fulfilling pre-paid orders using their own mining staff, while they await the outcome of the Lind (loan fiasco), and the Hand-Over (work permits) issuance for the new anchor contractor Infrastructure and Logistics Tanzania Limited (“ILTL”).
Edenvilles Subsidiary Company ‘Edenville International Tanzania Limited’ (“EITL”) has entered into a Sales and Marketing Agreement with MarTek Global FZ-LLC ("MarTek"). MarTek is a Dubai-based sister company to Infrastructure and Logistics Tanzania Limited ("ILTL").
The short answer to being in-profit is they are in profit for every tonne of coal mined as they have been paid for what’s coming out of the ground currently. Once the Lind (loan) situation is resolved and the new contractor takes over they will be paid “a profit’ by the contractor for every tonne mined...
Edenville have International Export Contracts with Burundi and Rwanda and others, but have been hitting brick wall after brick wall for several years. Too long a story, but they have never as yet been able to get enough coal out of the ground, hence the new Sales Marketing Agreement...
To-date I’d guess they have spent £15/£20 million to get to this juncture, but I could be miles out either way?..
They have 173mt of known proven coal within their Active Mining Licence which is only 9.88 sq. km, but have 3 other Active Prospecting Licenses covering 71.35 sq. km. (in total) for Metallic Minerals, Energy Minerals and Kimberlitic Diamonds. So the “Potential” is considerable if they can resolve the current brick walls.
I’m not sure if Helium is considered a mineral (re the licences) as a noble gas, but it is a by product of a mineral. Edenville are sitting atop of huge Helium reserves located within and between the Rukwa Rift Basin (system) of Lake Tanganyika and Lake Rukwa. Doubtful Helium is on Edenville’s mind, so because of the recent interest in the Rift Valley Helium I have thrown a few bob at the start-up Helium One (HE1), being Edenvilles neighbour, and will undoubtedly live to regret it! lol
Spurs won 5-0 :)
