Investment Highlights

POSITIONED IN WORLD CLASS METALLURGICAL COAL FIELDS

 Jameson has acquired coal projects within Canada’s prolific Elk Valley and Peace River coking coal fields

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT EXPERTISE ON BOARD

Two highly credentialed coal mining executives : Mr David Fawcett and Mr Art Palm, both mining engineers with proven track records

MODERN RAIL AND PORT FACILITIES

  • British Columbia provides excellent infrastructure for coal projects including three deep water ports, an extensive rail system, high quality roads and established power supply

IN A BULLISH METALLURGICAL COAL MARKET

  • Demand for metallurgical coal is at a record high driven by China and India

Canadian Advantage

  • Canada is the third largest exporter of coking coal at ~28mtpa

  • World class infrastructure which includes:

  • Deep water seaports including Ridley (planned expansion)

  • Westshore and Neptune Coal Terminals

  • Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways

  • Ample, low cost power

  • High‐quality road network

  • Limited demurrage time at Western Canadian ports by comparison to Australian ports

  • Shipping distance from Canada to northern Pacific Asian markets is similar to that from the eastern Australian seaboard

  • Low sovereign risk and resources friendly regulatory environment
