Mar5,2011 |Bloomberg

Riversdale Mining Ltd., an Australian mining company, will start production at its Zambeze coal project in Mozambique in 2014, said David West, its principal geologist in the southern African country.

The project has an estimated coal resource of 9 billion tonnes, more than double the Benga project that will start exporting in Sep, he said.

Riversdale will probably initially produce 45 million tonnes of coal a year from Zambeze, West said.
