Overview

Complete Crown EA pre-app Q1 2017 Crown PFS update Q1 2017

  • Norwest Corporation of Vancouver, Canada, commenced the initial stages of updating the 2014 PFS late last year.

  • Kiewit, an experienced coal miner in both owned and contracted operations, will review the mining plan and advise Norwest on potential improvements and cost savings.

  • Kiewit joins Sedgman, a recognized leader in coal processing and infrastructure, on the Crown Mountain PFS update team.

  • Sedgman is already well advanced in their review of coal quality and processing strategy.

  • Norwest will develop a turnkey contractor scenario for Crown Mountain based, in part, on input from Kiewit and Sedgman.

  • Coking coal prices booked significant gains during 2016 and remain well above the pricing assumptions contained in the original PFS.

  • The update is expected to be finalised near the end of Q1.

Jameson Resources (“Jameson”, the “Company”) is pleased to announce the addition of Kiewit to the team tasked with updating the Pre-feasibility study (“PFS”) on the Crown Mountain Coking Coal Project (“Crown Mountain”, the “Project”).

Kiewit joins Sedgman in this effort, being led by Norwest Corporation of Vancouver, Canada.

A number of parameters will be evaluated for potential CAPEX and OPEX savings, including such categories as fuel cost, labour and materials, low hour used vs new equipment, wash plant modifications, fleet optimization, etc.

Changes in macroeconomic factors will be incorporated into the update. For example, the PFS assumed a CAD:USD exchange rate of 0.92; that rate is now 0.76, creating significant advantages for a Canada-based operator.
