The restart marked exactly a century since the mine first went into production.
JOHANNESBURG, August 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — The world’s last substantial untapped coal reserve is set to change forever as the first shipment of coal mined in Moatize arrives by train at the port of Beira this month which is destined for export to Brazil, India, Japan and the South African markets.
With infrastructure holding the key to a successful future the initial investment opportunity will be financing the infrastructure needed to get coal to market.
