Chinese Collum Coal Mine (CCM) General Manager from shaft two and three Chen Wei Min has said the production of coal and demand for the product has improved.
Mr Min said the company only has the problem of selling the Fines brand which has accumulated to 30,000 metric tones.
He said despite the winning back of customers that left the company when it was shut down last year, most of them were buying the Peas and Nuts brand of coal.
He said the 30,000 metric tones of coal is likely to be destroyed with the continuous heavy rains in Sinazongwe district if market is not found.
The General Manager said the company is currently producing 10,000 metric tones of coal per month and has the capacity to produce more this year.
He pointed out that the scenario among the dissatisfied employees has improved because the company has improved their wages to acceptable standards.
He noted that the company was also working on building houses for its workers to relocate them from the mine area.
