Riversdale Mining [ASX: RIV] - Quality update on Mozambican coal

Riversdale Mining (ASX: RIV) has commenced pilot scale coking tests at its Benga coking coal project, in Mozambique.

Preliminary results indicate that the Benga coking coals will be premium hard coking coals.



A coke strength after reaction (CSR) result of 71 was produced from the first Benga coke.

Premium hard coking coals typically have CSRs greater than 65.

CSR is one of the key quality parameters used to assess coke quality in the steel industry.

Riversdales Managing Director, Mr Steve Mallyon, said �Coking results continue to confirm that the quality of the Benga coking coals will be equal to the best coking coals sold in the market today.

This reaffirms our belief that Mozambique will become a key coking coal supplier to steel mills globally.�

The pilot scale testing programme is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2009.

Further details are reported in the attached document.
