I met up with sally Schofield the chairman of Edenville Energy (EDL) the other day for a catch up quiz session on how her company is going.
Q. Sally I did not see you at the Women in Mining champagne reception at Mines & Money last week. Do you not regard swilling champagne with a bunch of City tossers as part of your job?
A. We’re lucky to have an intelligent and supportive shareholder base and very professional corporate support. There may be ‘tossers’ out there but I don’t meet that many of them! We do circulate at these events whenever possible; by its very nature the Women in Mining remit meant Rakesh or Rufus were not great candidates to stand in and represent the Company. However, Halimah Hussain from Blythe Weigh (our newly appointed PR Company) passed the gender test and she did the rounds on behalf of Edenville.
Q. You published an update on your Rukwa coal project the other day. There seems to have been good news from Tanzania on the construction of a national grid. Can you explain what has happened and why this assists Edenville?
