Tete Province, Coal mining province in western Mozambique.

The province extends over 98,417 square kilometers along the Zambezi River, containing fifteen administrative districts and multiple coal deposits throughout the territory.

Portuguese colonizers established trading posts in the region during the 16th century to access the resources of the Munhumutapa Kingdom.

The province contains a significant fossil forest from the Late Permian period, documenting the plant life before a major extinction event.

The Cahora Bassa Dam generates electrical power for South Africa, Maputo, and local coal mines, while forming a 240-kilometer lake.

The province holds coal reserves of 6.7 billion tons, with forty different companies operating mining licenses in the region.
