Harare - Zimbabwe coal producer Hwange Colliery said on Wednesday the company had signed an agreement to sell coke and coke products to global miner Glencore on a six-month trial period.
Hwange, in which Zimbabwe’s government is the biggest shareholder with 37% shares, is the nation's second largest coal producer and supplies coke to national electricity company ZESA.
"The contract is actually for coke. So there is a spot purchase, they are buying stock that we have right now as well as trial of our coke products for some of their operations over a six-month period," Thomas Makore, the firm's managing director told Reuters.
