Kwale is an advanced and highlycompetitive project in a sector with a significant forecast supply shortfallwidely expected to emerge in the medium term.
The Kwale Project represents an advanced development opportunity with allmaterial project approvals, permits and licenses required for developmentsecured, funding in place and construction of all project elements underway.
The Project enjoys a high level of support from the Government of Kenya as wellas the local community and, located just 50km from Mombasa, Kenya's principalport facility, is well serviced by existing physical infrastructure.
Importantly, two pilot plant operations at Kwale provide confidence inprocessing behaviour and indicate a suite of readily marketable products.
