The increase in demand has been from domestic and regional export markets, the focus continues to be to achieve higher tonnages from export markets while fully supporting the Tanzanian Government’s efforts to increase industrialisation in Tanzania. Demand has been high as a result of client stockpile build and regional sales. Several enquiries have been received from overseas for exports, which would assist Tanzania's export earnings, and the Company is in discussion with Government to improve export infrastructure.

"IEC Chairman, Graeme Robertson, commented "We are pleased for Tancoal to achieve higher sales and we are keen to cooperate with Government to continue the reliable supply of coal domestically to support industrialisation. However, export of coal is also important for Tanzania's foreign revenue earnings and requires strong support by Government to be achievable logistically and be competitive with coal from South Africa. With a well built haul road to minesite, road haulage by prime movers with multiple trailers and port works for coal loading at Mtwara, it may be possible to export up to 1.0 million tonnes per year."
