Discussion
T he Company is pleased w ith the progress being made w ith the PFS at Crow n M ountain, and believes thelong-aw aitedDunlevy drilling campaign should commencethis summerfollow ing NoW approval. T hesetw oprojectsrepresentthefutureofJameson,andremain ashigh priorities.
Despite adifficultmarketw ith respectto commodities,and coking coalin particular,the Company intendstoposition itselftobeabletobring production on-lineasmarketsimprove. T othatend,itis Jameson’s intent to continue to fast-track Crow n M ountain,and diligently pursue exploration at Dunlevy assoon asregulatory approvalsandon-siteconditionsallow .
Jameson is keenly aw areoftheneedtocontrolcosts in thecurrentmarketenvironment. W ehave reduced ourofficecosts by approximately 40 percent. T hevacancy created by theresignation ofa non-executive Director(David Prentice) w illnot be filled forthe short term, creating additional savings. Finally,releasing theRedEarth project(ofw hich Jameson helda20% minority interest)w ill conserve funds as w ellw ithout compromising Jameson’s long-term objectives. W ith $3.5 million cash-on-handandnodebt,Jameson isw ellpositionedtocontinuetoexecuteitsassetstrategy.
T he Company remains firmly committed to advancing its projects forw ard in a sensible and economicmannerw hilekeeping corporatecosts to aminimum. W ebelievethis strategy w illmake Jameson astrongerlong-term playerin thecoking coalmarketplace.
