Similarly as the Ketewaka-Mchuchuma field, its coal sediments were also laid down in K 2. It is divided into the Ngaka northern field and the Mbalawala (also Ngaka southern field) field. The Ngaka northern field is more dissected into small local, more or less isolated depressions or valleys in an older buried surface.

Mchuchuma in south western Tanzania near Ludewa off the northern tip of Lake Nyasa, is the site of major coal deposits. There is also a thermal power station costing$612m. Recent studies indicate that Mchuchuma/Ketewaka coal deposits should be connected to the coast by rail to facilitate exports. The railway that will be built will be part of the Mtwara …
