Still no update from RS or the BOD.

Construction and commissioning of the Lamella clarifier water treatment plant, that was delivered to site at the end of August 2018, is now completed and the plant is expected to be operational within the next two weeks. Management consider this will improve both water qualities in the plant process and in the return ponds, which in turn should lead to increased coal processing plant productivity.
After reviewing a number of options for acquiring a pre-screening plant to remove the majority of coal fines before they reach the washing circuit, both in Tanzania and overseas, a suitable configuration was selected in August 2018. The Company experienced some delays due to contractor performance in initial construction and logistics and the Edenville team has subsequently taken over the completion of the pre-screen assembly. The pre-screen unit is now largely complete with the screen frame, screen box and underside conveyor in place. Assembly is taking place on the feed hopper and conveyor and it is expected to be completed within the next 21 days. This unit will take out both fine and oversized coal before the main circuit and allow both throughput rates and yields in the plant to increase substantially. Once operational the Company has a target of 100 tonnes per hour through the plant, with a washed coal yield estimated at 50%.
From 17 September 2018 (the date of the previous production update) to 11 December 2018 approximate numbers show that Edenville has processed 26,659 tonnes of ROM coal, producing 6,647 tonnes of washed coal and 13,022 tonnes of fine coal. 4,655 tonnes have been sold and shipped, the majority being washed coal.
This equates to an average daily (calculated on a calendar day basis) throughput of ROM coal of 310 tonnes per day from 17 September 2018 to 11 December 2018 and average daily sale shipments of 54 tonnes.
The above production numbers are unaudited and may be subject to variations upon plant and mine reconciliation.

Construction of the pre-screening plant and conveyors, designed to remove the majority of coal fines before they reach the washing circuit, is now complete and the plant is now undergoing testing. Alongside this testing, further refinements are being made to the feed hopper. It is expected that the pre-screen plant will be fully integrated into the Company's washed coal production process by the end of January 2019.
Management believe that these developments, when complete, will increase that amount of washed can that can be produced from the Project and the Company looks forward to providing further updates as matters progress.
