One of the international companies that has developed coal mines in Mozambique’s Tete province, India’s Jindal Africa, a subsidiary of Jindal Steel and Power, has advertised in the Maputo newspaper Notícias for a consultant to serve as a project manager for its planned power plant at its Chirodzi coal mine. The power plant will burn thermal coal that is produced effectively as a by-product to the metallurgical, or coking, coal that is Chirodzi’s main output. Chirodzi is an open pit mine, with a production capacity of 3-million tons/year and proven coal reserves of 700-million tons.
