PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP AND OPERATE KATEWAKA COAL MINE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
With reference to the several meetings which we (TRD) have discussed with NDC team,
going through all exploration documents of Katewaka Coal mine you shared to us, and
having concluded the site visit which was done by Mr. Patrick Mwisua, which was lead by
NDC through Eng. Pascal Malisa, we would like to come up with following genuine
proposal, which will include restructuring, financing, developing and operating of the
Katewaka coal mine (100million tones), which will go together with solving the
infrastructure puzzle from Nkomang’ombe to Mawengi (81km).
Together with the development of the large scale coal mine production, TRD will set up a
coal gasification plant which will consume over 1 million tons of coal to produce industrial
chemicals and fertilizers.
To begin with, the company will supply coal to local cement manufacturing industries
,textiles industries, ceramic tiles companies, gypsum producing companies and others
using high energy boilers. Other markets will be South East Asian markets for power
plants, UAE power plant (Energy mix program) and small amount to local East African
markets.
TRD will employ the use of both electrical and diesel powered heavy equipment such as:-
1. Surface miner Wirtgen 2500 for coal stripping, crushing and loading(Appendix I)
2. Wet coal washing plant 350TPH to reduce high percentage of Sulphur content for
coal exportation purposes,
3. One drilling rig for blast holes MD6200,
4. Two Cat 7495HF electric rope shovels of 62.7cbm bucket size for excavating and
loading, (Appendix II)
5. Two hydraulic excavators CAT350 (electric &diesel powered) ,
6. Two Track Dozers for site clearance, CAT D10T2. ( Diesel powered).Appendix III
7. Six rigid Dump trucks CAT 777 & 775G (electric &diesel powered),Appendix IV
8. 50 Hauling dumper trucks of 50t capacity (Mack granite GU813 special for long
mountainous roads. ) are planned to be used to move coal from stock pile number
1(at mine) to Njombe stock pile (stock pile number 2).
Large scale mining has proven to be more beneficial to local communities than small scale
mining and also has a lesser environmental footprint.
The integration of operations together with availability of large funds will support a
sustainable development of the region, which will include the upgrading of Muhumbi to
Mawengi road of about 81Km and establishment of other social services such as healthcare
and schools.
1.2 Reduction of Production cost per unit and Proposal of Njombe stock pile
Group TRD has proposed the use of hybrid (electrical & diesel powered) heavy
mining equipments for coal production, which will guarantee the lowest production
cost per ton of coal for over 20years of the production.
Group TRD propose to build a SUBSTATION at Katewaka coal mine which will be
linked to 33kv transmission line (medium voltage) which is ready available at
Muhumbi (Katewaka) village (REA project). The substation will be used to power
and recharge the hybrid mining equipments which will be used in production. The
substation will have the capacity to recharge the equipments up to 6000volts in two
hours which can sustain the operation of 6hours to 8hours before being plugged in
again.
With a reduction of production cost per ton, the setting up of Njombe stockpile (selling
station) is viable, the hauling costs per ton from the first stockpile (at mine) to Njombe
stock pile is expected to range from USD15-20/ton. Hence the addition of this haulage
costs per ton to Njombe stock pile is only economical by the reduction of production cost
per ton at the mine in long run.
2.0 KNOWLEDGE SPILL OVER
Expatriates will be used at early stages of the development with a tendency to indigenize a
considerable part of the workforce on later stages of the project. This will facilitate
knowledge spill over/transfer of know-how. TRD shall develop educational / trainee
schemes that will envisage contracts conclusion with educational institutions of Tanzania
to provide target education in professions demanded by the company.
1. TRD suggests the incorporation of joint company (JVC) with NDC, in which TRD
will be overall controller of the Business, from Mine Development, infrastructures
upgrading to coal marketing and selling.
2. Commission on ton of sold coal. NDC to get a sum of USD 2 $ or 4% per ton of sold
coal will apply when market price changes below USD45$, or above USD55$ per
ton). From first year of sales.
3. Sovereignty equity of 16% on profit in the joint venture company to be held by NDC
4. Equity shares of 84% to be held by TRD who will capitalise the JVC to its full
operation up to the 8th year (project break even) and then dilute its shares and
transfer 15% to NDC making it NDC 31%, TRD 69%. as per investment plan
attached here below.
5. JVC will pay all taxes to the government according to the laws and regulations of the
country without disturbing the commission per ton of coal sold. Which will be paid
monthly from JVC to NDC
6. NDC will be responsible to persuade/handle/arrange with other governmental
organisations like
i. TANESCO for the construction of 200MW-400MW coal fired power plant.
(TRD is also interested on financing and construction of the planed coal fired
power plant at Katewaka)
ii. TAZARA for the reasonable adjustment of transport rates they charge for
transporting coal from Makambako to Dar es Salaam port/stockpile, special
price for coal transportation will be appreciated.
iii. To arrange with Tanzania port Authority for Dar es salaam port or Mtwara
port, the port stock pile space in Dar es salaam, and arrangement for Coal load
dock at the port (to be discussed with TRD )
iv. NDC to be responsible with all communications with the rest of other
government authorities, who are stake holders of the project i.e. NEMC, TRA,
TANROAD, Nkomang’ombe village, Ludewa district, Njombe Region etc.
v. NDC to provide land for stock piling station in Njombe and Dar es Salaam and
Mtwara.
