JOINT VENTURE: morupule awards Bothakga Burrow a mining contract
Morupule Coal Mine (MCM) has awarded a five-year mining services contract to a joint venture between Bothakga Burrow, a local citizen-owned company, and Basil Read Mining, a South African-based company.
Officially signed off this month, the contract is for the development of an open cast coal mining operation at the MCM, Motheo project.
Motheo is an expansion scheme established by Morupule to develop an open cast mine, a coal washing plant, and associated infrastructure.
The initiative’s ultimate aim is to facilitate MCM’s contribution to Botswana’s economic growth and transformation of coal into unlimited sources of energy.
