SEDGMAN ENGAGED TO COMMENCE OPTIMISATION WORK ON THE CROWN MOUNTAIN HARD COKING COAL PROJECT

Highlights

• The Crown Mountain Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) was recently completed and results released to the ASX on 9 July 2020, demonstrating robust economic outcomes

• Jameson Resources Limited (ASX: JAL) (“Jameson”) has identified a number of optimisation opportunities, detailed in the BFS which seek to maximise economic outcomes and improve execution of the Crown Mountain Hard Coking Coal Project

• Jameson has engaged Sedgman Canada Limited (“Sedgman”) (a member of CIMIC Group) to undertake the first phase of optimisation work which will analyse the ash yield curve to assess opportunities to improve Coal Handling and Processing Plant (“CHPP”) yield outcomes

• As part of the ash yield curve analysis, and the associated impact on economics, Jameson will be required to understand any potential impact a higher ash product will have on coal quality parameters, with remaining samples from the 2018-19 exploration program sent to Canmet to undertake Sole Heated Oven analysis at a 10% ash to assist in better understanding these potential impacts

Jameson is pleased to announce that it has engaged Sedgman to complete the first phase of optimisation work to be undertaken on the BFS.

Jameson released the BFS results to the ASX on 9 July 2020 in an ASX release entitled ‘Crown Mountain Bankable Feasibility Study’, where it outlined a number of opportunities it has identified to optimise the economic outcomes and improve execution of the Crown Mountain Hard Coking Coal Project. Since completing the BFS, Jameson has sought to better identify the potential economic impacts of each of the optimisation activities.

The first phase of Sedgman’s work will analyse the ash yield curve to better assess opportunities to improve CHPP yields on both a blended seam and individual seam basis, including the potential for yield improvements associated with a higher ash specification coal. The previous coal quality work was undertaken for the BFS at an ash specification in the range of 9 to 9.5%.

As part of the ash yield analysis, and any associated yield improvement that may be achieved at a higher ash product, Jameson will be required to understand any potential impact a higher ash product will have on coal quality parameters. As a result, remaining (sealed and refrigerated) samples from the 2018-19 exploration program have been tested to ensure that they have not been adversely impacted by oxidisation, and subsequently blended at Birtley lab Canada and sent to Canmet to complete Sole Heated Oven analysis at a 10% ash to better understand any potential coal quality impacts.

Hard Coking Coals with a higher ash than benchmark specification may incur a penalty on the price received from end users. There are number of premium benchmarked hard coking coals sold globally that have published[1] ash specification of up to 10.5%. The results from the coal quality testwork will be compared to other 10% ash products to determine the value of the Crown Mountain 10% ash product.

This announcement is authorised for release to the market by the Board of Jameson Resources Limited.
