STOCK WATCH

COAL may not be the most fashionable of fuels, but it’s still raking in the money for Edenville Energy.

Shares climbed by 8.8pc, or 0.02p, to 0.31p as the firm announced it had signed a contract with an East African industrial group to supply up to 4,000 tonnes per month for two years.

Tanzania-based Edenville added it had already been working with the customer throughout the year to make sure that the transport infrastructure was in place.
