Investment Highlights

  • Positioned in world class metallurgical coalfields

  • Significant development expertise on board with successful track record

Highlights

  • Jameson has awarded the Prefeasibility Study (PFS) for the Crown Mountain Coking Coal Project to Norwest Corporation of Calgary.

  • Norwest has been authorized to commence work immediately.

  • Exploration results continue to conform to the major assumptions contained in the Resource Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment, with coal quality exceeding expectations.

  • PFS execution is expected to take approximately 6 months.

  • In conjunction with this award, and to support the PFS and EA, Jameson has also authorized lab evaluation of rock core samples collected during the summer drilling program.

  • The regulatory review process of the Dunlevy coal license applications has been completed: the file is now with the Statutory Decision Maker.

Jameson Resources Limited (“Jameson” or “the Company”) has awarded execution of the Crown Mountain Prefeasibility Study (PFS) to Norwest Corporation. Primary oversight will be performed by Norwest’s Calgary office, with specialized assistance from their Vancouver, Salt Lake City, and Charleston locations.

  • Modern rail and port facilities

  • Strong financial position

The decision to commence the PFS was based on a number of factors, which included Norwest’s previous 43-101 compliant Technical (Resource) Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). The summer drilling program has generally confirmed the major assumptions contained in those documents. In particular, coal quality results to-date have been favourable.

To support the Norwest effort, Jameson has authorized lab work to commence on rock core samples collected this summer. Evaluation of potential Metal Leaching and Acid Rock Drainage (ML/ARD) issues will be conducted by SRK. This information is also required to prepare for the Environmental Assessment process, which is key to maintaining the project on a fast track to development.

Regarding the Dunlevy project, Jameson has been informed that the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) has completed its review and consultation process and recently forwarded its findings to the Statutory Decision Maker. We understand that this represents the final stage of the application process.

Discussion

The Crown Mountain drilling program was focused on the North and South Blocks of the project area (Figure 1). These two blocks, which together contain a total of 66 million tonnes of Measured and Indicated Resources (of Crown Mountain’s 90 million tonne resource), were determined by the recent Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) to show robust economics. (See Table 1 and Note Regarding Resource Compilations at the end of this announcement). For further information in relation to the Preliminary Economic Assessment, please refer to the Company’s ASX announcement titled “PEA Confirms Potential Robust Economics on Crown Mountain Coal Project” dated 17 April 2013, available for view on ASX and Jameson Resources website.

The summer drilling program was designed to gather the information required to quantify the coking characteristics of the Crown Mountain coal, and to allow a more accurate estimate of wash plant yield. To accomplish these goals, large diameter coring (LDC) was selected. Figure 1 displays the location of each of the seven LDC holes. Results to-date for these holes generally support the major PEA assumptions, confirm the majority of the resource should be hard coking coal, and indicate additional evaluation work is warranted to determine the potential viability of the Crown Mountain project. For further information in relation to the recent exploration results, please refer to the Company’s ASX announcement titled “Crown Mountain Coking Coal Project, Coal Quality Update” dated 10 December 2013 available for view on ASX and Jameson Resources website.

The PFS will focus primarily on the North and South Blocks, as the Southern Extension area remains in the inferred category (no drilling was conducted in that area this summer). It is anticipated the PFS process will take approximately 6 months to complete, including updating and detailing the geologic model. Although there is no current plan for additional drilling at Crown Mountain, the PFS will be completed in time to allow for exploration next summer, should it be recommended to support the next stages of the project.

Data collection continues in several areas, as Jameson prepares to commence the Environmental Assessment process pending a positive PFS.

Turning to the Dunlevy project, we can confirm the MEM has completed its review and consultation process and has submitted its findings to the Statutory Decision Maker (SDM) for review and decision. We understand that this represents the final stage of the application process. Assuming a timely and favourable decision, we are prepared to commence exploration in the first quarter of the coming year: necessary planning and preparation is well advanced.

On Behalf of the Board of Directors,

Art Palm Chief Executive Officer
