The assessment of the study will be combined with the review of the environmental impact evaluation and logistical infrastructure development for regional networks to access local and export markets.
The study is expected to be completed by January 2012.
Nimrodel Resources has also commenced a two-phase drilling programme on the Takatokwane South tenements PL157/2008, PL159/2008, PL160/2008 and PL161/2008, to test the extension of the south-east trending coal seams identified in Nimrodel’s resource drilling programme between May and August this year.
