It’s a former Portuguese colony and it’s sitting on the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest coal reserves.

With the price of oil soaring and demand from steel producers growing, those reserves are suddenly receiving a lot of attention.

Brazilian steel giant, Vale do Rio Doce, has already got the ball rolling….

It plans to spend $1.4 billion to build a giant coal mine at the heart of these lucrative reserves.

It’s a move that has opened the floodgates of investment money… countries all over the world are gagging to stake their claim!

And you can too. All it takes is a small investment in one strategically positioned stock. You see, this company owns billions of pounds of property around the tiny port that all this coal will need to be shipped through…

I’ll show how to get your hands on the exclusive details of this stock in just a moment. First, just think how profitable this could be…

Imagine investing in Russia or Saudi Arabia before they struck oil?

Practically overnight these countries were showered with investment capital. Oil workers and wealthy contractors poured into these regions sending land and property prices skyrocketing.

Well here’s a chance to buy into a similarly unique opportunity and “piggy-back” on the wealth this coal mine could create.

Where is the location of this valuable coal supply?

This valuable coal reserve is situated in Moatize, a town in Mozambique’s remote Tete province on the east coast of Africa… and the resources it holds is staggering.

The basin contains at least 2.4 billion tonnes of coking and thermal coal… so it serves both the steel and energy industries.

There’s enough in there to keep the mine going for the next 70 years!

No wonder Vale wants to get involved. And they’re not only ones!

Steel giant Arcelor-Mittal plans to purchase 35% of the Rio Minjova company, which owns coal exploration rights in Tete…

India’s Tata Steel, who have teamed-up with Australia’s Riversdale Mining, are currently conducting a feasibility study to produce coal from land which it the holds rights to…

So what’s the big deal?

The last great coal reserve in the world

To put it bluntly… global steel giants need this stuff. Demand is growing all over the world and companies are constantly on the hunt for new capacity.

All that demand has sent the price of coking coal soaring this year.

Japan’s just thrown their hat into the ring for Mozambique’s coal too.

Yesterday, Japanese company Nippon Steel, the world’s second-biggest maker of the metal, said it wants to buy a stake in Vale’s Moatize mine.

The firm’s being hit hard by rising material costs. Profit will fall 41% to a five-year low this year… and they’re desperately trying to keep costs down by investing in mines directly.

So this forgotten corner of the world is suddenly emerging as the new hotspot.

And there’s one simple reason why: Moatize is the last great unexploited coal reserve in the world.

For profit hunters, it only means one thing…

Boom times for Mozambique – and this one brilliantly positioned company!

Mozambique has just had one its best years since it won independence in 1975.

The country approved 186 foreign direct investment projects, worth USD 7.5 billion, last year… and it’s already home to the giant Mozal aluminium smelting plant – the second biggest in Africa.

But what we’re seeing here with its coal reserves is on a totally different scale.

Though getting that coal to market isn’t going to be easy… the coal mines are in the remote western province of Tete far from the port that can ship it out.

So the country is spending a massive amount – $170 million to be exact – on upgrading the historic Beira railway that will connect the coal mine to port.

Not only that they plan to spend another $40 million improving the facilities around the port as well.

Once the coal starts heading this way, this sleepy little corner of the Dark Continent looks set to become Africa’s latest boom town… and one brilliantly positioned company will welcome this investment with open arms.

It’s investors even more so.

How to get your piece of the action…

You’ll understand I’m obliged not to reveal the exact details of this white hot investment opportunity.

But there is a way you can access them straight away…

I’ve spent the best part of a year researching this company’s incredible story – it’s typical of what we at Profit Hunter call “special situation” investing.

If you’re willing to go right where the money is, this is definitely for you.

All the exclusive details are right here.

Last week the Associated Press reported, “Utilities nationwide are raising rates and are likely to push for even more dramatic increases in electric rates in the coming months.”

Americans are already strapped for cash due to rising gas and food prices and a sinking real estate market. So why’s electricity joining the scrum?

Well, a large part of the blame lies with steel… As I wrote last week, steel prices worldwide are skyrocketing. This week, we’re going to look at one of the ramifications of soaring steel prices… soaring coal prices.

Coking coal is the type of coal used in steelmaking. Demand from steelmakers is driving prices higher. In fact, many steelmakers, including the world’s second-largest producer (Nippon Steel), recently agreed to pay triple what they previously paid for coking coal.

Take a look at the following chart of coal prices since 1996…

The Global Insight coal index doesn’t contain any U.S. coal – it’s 60% South African, 30% Colombian, and 10% Australian. But the market for coal, like oil, is global. When the price of foreign coal spikes, the U.S. exports more of its coal… resulting in higher U.S. prices.

So the steel rally has swept coal along with it. But coal prices have not yet gone parabolic like steel prices. Does that mean coal is a good buy for people who are bullish on steel?

Trend followers might find coal attractive. But there’s no easy way to bet on the price of coal except through coal stocks… And coal stocks are expensive right now.

Take a look at the following chart…

Coal Stocks are Expensive

Investors are excited about the coal industry and have bid up the price of coal producers in relation to the price of coal. And any falter in the growth rate of coal prices could lead to a sharp drop in these stocks. So here’s how to play the coal boom.Wait for just such a pullback before buying your favorite coal stock. A few of the big names are Peabody (BTU), Consol (CNX), Massey (MEE), and Arch (ACI). Or you can buy a basket of coal producers with the Market Vectors Coal ETF (KOL).

Coal produces about half of all the electricity generated in the U.S. With coal prices soaring, it’s likely you’ll feel the effects of soaring coal prices in your electricity bill… But if you buy coal producers at the right prices, you should see some profit, too.

Good investing,
