Mining in Malawi

I would like to have a full list of Mining Companies in Malawi, their email addresses and their locations. This is with regard that we have satellite telecommunications solutions (phones, data terminals for broadband, etc, airtime for Thuraya and Inmarsat networks) – which are mostly used by the mining industry. We are here in Malawi and you can visit our websites: http://www.mes-usa.net and http://www.telpluszambia.com
Please, email me the list to: louis@telpluszambia.com or call me on 0882901153
