Continental Coal gets nod for Kenyan explorationThe West AustralianThu, 27 January 2011 10:39AMShare to FacebookShare to XEmail UsCopy the Link Continental Coal says it has received Kenyan
government permission to take part in coal exploration and development of the country's Mui coal basin, 180km northeast of Nairobi.
Continental says it will now submit for approval a detailed technical and financial proposal for the exploration and development of coal deposits within the Mititu, Mwingi East and Mwingi
Central districts of Kenya.
"We are extremely pleased to have been one of a select group of international coal mining companies short-listed by Kenya's Ministry of Energy to submit a proposal to explore for coal in
such a highly prospective and strategically located coal basin," Continental executive director Jason Brewer said in a statement.
Continental said it would meet with the Ministry of Energy in Kenya in February, ahead of submitting its final technical and financial proposal.
The Ministry of Energy has explored for coal in the Mui basin since 1999 and conducted surface geological mapping, geophysical surveys, exploration drilling, detailed coal quality analyses
and resource evaluation.
