Watermark Global plc was initially, listed on AIM in February 2006 as Microfuze International plc (MFZ).

In February 2008, MFZ changed its name to Watermark Global PLC to reflect its focus on developing innovative environmental solutions in water management with a key focus on Acid Mine Drainage in South Africa. In addition, it has development core-competence in the field of project management, plant management and the development of water management strategies for companies with waste water problems.


The Company’s flagship project is the Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) project in South Africa. The company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Western Utilities Corporation (Pty) ltd. (“WUC”) has procured a water treatment technology and commercialisation entity for application in a Government mandated AMD clean-up program in South Africa. This technology, which concluded its ”proof of concept” stage in October 2008, with completion of the Definitive Feasibility in November 2009, is purpose-specific processing of AMD and was developed in conjunction with the mines to meet legislated Government directive requirements. The water will be treated, transported and sold back into industry to reduce dependence on the expensive and limited potable water reserves. The immediate market for the treated water is assured through the direct participation of the implicated mining companies in the project, but only accounts for approximately a third of the AMD produced from the three basins. The additional water, which is not consumed by industry, will be converted into potable water which could be distributed to a bulk service provider, or used to augment stressed river systems.


The development of the AMD project has led to a number of opportunities, including the management of significant water treatment facilities, the development of waste water management strategies, as well as the project management of upgrade projects for mines participating in the AMD project and other industrial water users.

cheers bob,i will be adding a fair few more of these over next few days

jackson there is alot of info on MRI website on Coal Briquetting and AMD that you
may find useful.In my opinion it was a masterstroke to combine the coal project
with AMD as they can be linked or the coal projects can be independent of any AMD
work.So separate revenue streams possible

jackson here is link for bloomberg and other good stuff there too,MRI is up
near 10% so far this week on modest trading so maybe signs of something
