ASX Announcement - 22 May 2013

Cokal signs JV with Proven Operator, MDM, for River Barging - a critical milestone to achieving Production

Cokal Limited ( ASX: CKA ) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a 50:50 Joint Venture (JV) with Meratus Advance Maritime (MDM ) . The JV will own and manage the shallow river barges and tugs design specifically for PT Bumi Barito Mineral (BBM).

MDM is part of the Meratus Group which has operated in Indonesian shipping since 1957 and has provided barging and shipping services to a number of the major Kalimantan coal operations. MDM have also worked on the Barito River over a number of years. The Barito is a major coal barging river on which BBM is located.

The JV is an accumulation of almost 2 years of studies into river based shallow draft barging systems which have confirmed its effectiveness on the Barito River. While shallow draft barging systems are used extensively worldwide the system has not been used in Indonesia to date.

Example of Similar River Barging Operating Elsewhere in the World

Recently BBM’s river barging solution moved to the next phase and US Naval Architects were retained to do detailed design for contract tenders to be issued. This is scheduled for completion in third quarter 2013. MDM’s practical input and detail knowledge of barging on the Barito has been invaluable in this phase.

Cokal’s Chairman and CEO Mr Peter Lynch said “this strategic partnership enables MDM to bring the experience and knowhow necessary to ensure the success of river barging on the Barito River, and for Cokal to be a part of controlling the critical part of its supply chain. This is a significant achievement for Cokal as we draw closer to the commencement of our coking coal production in mid 2014”.
