    Zimbabwe has large coal resources, estimated at over 12 billion tonnes, located primarily in the Lower Karoo deposits of the mid-Zambezi Basin and Save-Limpopo basin. The majority of coal production occurs around the Hwange area, which hosts large reserves of coking and thermal coal. While coal is widespread throughout Zimbabwe in various sedimentary basins and coalfields, development and production have been limited mainly to the Hwange area by a few companies, including Hwange Colliery, Makomo, and Galpex. Exploration for coal involves various stages from initial prospecting licenses and geological mapping to feasibility studies and potential mining and production.

    COAL RESOURCES
    Large reserves in Lower Karoo of the mid Zambezi Basin the Save-Limpopo basin. Estimated resources of >12 billion tonnes (20 billion tonnes) (26.65 billion tonnes) The Hwange area hosts large reserves of both coking and thermal coal. Despite the widespread occurrence, development and production has been around Hwange area. (Hwange, Makomo & Galpex) There has been limited coal production from the Sengwa, Tuli and Mkwasine coalfields
