Overview
Crown PFS update Complete Complete Crown EA pre-app Q3 2017 Off-take and JV discussions ongoing
Crown Mountain Coking Coal Project Moving Forward on Multiple Fronts
Highlights
-
The recent $2.6 million raised via placement has allowed Jameson to pursue multiple critical path items at Crown Mountain.
-
Summer field work on several environmental studies is underway.
-
Initial preparation of the Application for an Environmental Assessment certificate has been authorized.
-
Preliminary engineering design of the spoil/refuse disposal regimen for the project will commence later this month.
-
Execution of the above initiatives keeps Crown Mountain on the development schedule presented in the recent PFS Update for start of construction in 2019.
-
Discussions continue to progress between Jameson and several third parties regarding the potential off-take of the Project’s hard coking coal.
Jameson Resources (“Jameson”, the “Company”) is pleased to announce it is in the process of awarding multiple work items at Crown Mountain which enables critical path items to progress as set out in the development schedule contained in the April PFS Update.
That schedule projected mine construction in 2019 and first production in the second half of 2020.
As environmental field work is being completed over the summer, the initial preparation of the Application for an Environmental Certificate is commencing. Concurrently, preliminary engineering design of the critical spoil/refuse storage facility will begin.
Combined, these activities address the current critical path items identified in the project development schedule.

Jameson reached a milestone last week when we submitted a revised and advanced version of the Application Information Requirements (“AIR”) document to the province. Once the province completes its review of the AIR and accepts it as final, the Company will know with relative certainty how the Application for an EA Certificate must be compiled. The initial preparation of the Application will now commence, concurrent with the province’s review of the AIR.

DISCUSSION
Earlier this month, Jameson completed a $2.6 million placement. Those funds will be used primarily to advance the Crown Mountain Coking Coal Project (“Crown Mountain”, the “Project”, the “Asset”) toward development.
The April PFS Update projected the start of construction as 2019, with first production in the second half of 2020, provided the Company executed the required tasks in a timely and efficient manner, and subject to a satisfactory Definitive Feasibility Study and availability of adequate funding.
A detailed matrix of all environmental field work and related reporting has been prepared, and represents items yet to be completed (a great deal of environmental work was done in concert with the ongoing exploration program at Crown Mountain).
An Environmental Assessment (“EA”) Certificate is a pre-requisite for most other permits required to construct and operate a mine. Preparing the Application for the EA Certificate, including the results and evaluation of the ongoing environmental field work, is expected to take approximately one year. Jameson has authorized that process to begin.
Of all the engineering and design work required for the Project, the methodology for disposing of spoil and plant refuse is perhaps the most critical, as this activity directly affects downstream water quality. It is essential to develop the conceptual plan into an engineered design, including necessary pilot scale modelling. The Company will award the first phase of preliminary design to a consulting firm within the next few weeks.
As these efforts advance, Jameson will continue the process of identifying a suitable off-take and/or JV partner to assist in moving the project forward through not only the permitting and Definitive Feasibility stages, but into construction as well. The preferred outcome is to reach agreement with such a potential entity on an investment directly into the Asset on a minority-interest basis, thus minimizing further shareholder dilution.
On Behalf of the Board of Directors,
Art Palm Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
