ASX CODE:
JAL (Fully paid Ordinary Shares)
Appointment of Chairman
Mr. David Fawcett will be appointed Non-Executive Chairman of Jameson Resources Limited upon completion of the acquisition of both the Dunlevy Project and the Nexx Projects which is proposed to occur simultaneously. Mr. Fawcett is a mining engineer with 36 years’ experience in the coal industry, primarily in Western Canada and has played a major role in reviving the industry in northeast British Columbia through coal property acquisitions and development strategies. Mr. Fawcett has extensive knowledge of coal in Western Canada with experience extending to early stage geology and exploration, feasibility and regulatory processes, coal processing, coal marketing support, company promotion, and managing operations including executive positions for several developed and developing coal companies. Highlights of his career include:
-
Co-Founder and President of Western Canadian Coal Corp. (“Western Coal”) - 1997 to 2003. Participation in the acquisition, exploration, and development of a number of coal properties, two of which have become substantial mine operations. Involved with investor relations, financing, and marketing of future coal products to potential customers, primarily in Japan and Korea. Western Coal was recently taken over by US based Walter Energy Inc. for C$3.5 billion.
-
Chief Operating Officer of NEMI Northern Energy & Mining Inc - 2003 to 2004. Responsible for the advancement of the Trend coal project, which subsequently became the Trend Mine operated by Peace River Coal Limited. Peace River Coal Limited was acquired by Anglo American in October 2011, for approximately C$630 million.
-
Senior Vice President of Hillsborough Resources Limited - 2005 to 2009. Led the advancement of coal projects, particularly Wapiti and Horizon projects, culminating in a joint venture with Anglo American plc and, subsequently, the merger of Hillsborough, Anglo American and NEMI Northern Energy & Mining Inc’s northeast British Columbia coal projects to form Peace River Coal Limited. Hillsborough was acquired by Vitol Anker International in 2009.
-
Awarded the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Coal Award for 2011.
Mr. Fawcett’s immediate focus will be to advance the Dunlevy Project through the management and completion of staged drilling programs, a resource estimation and a feasibility study. He will also play a major role with the assessment and potential acquisition of new coal projects. Mr Fawcett’s proven commercial and operational experience gained in the Western Canadian coal industry will be key in the Company’s vision of development potential and strategy.
The appointment of Mr. Fawcett will compliment current Executive Director of Operations, Art Palm who has 35 years’ experience, including management positions, in the coal mining industry. Mr. Palm’s US-based experience includes designing and managing mines (surface and underground) and coal preparation plants. Highlights of his career are:
-
Mr. Palm was President and COO at a West Virginia coal operation and was responsible for 3 underground and 2 surface mines, two operating coal preparation plants, and was instrumental in bringing new technology into commercial use to facilitate safer and more productive operations.
-
As the lead underground consultant, he helped design and bring into commercial production BHP Billiton’s large San Juan Underground Mine in New Mexico.
Mr Palm earned his BS in Mining Engineering from Colorado School of Mines and later his MBA from the University of Wyoming. He is a Certified Mine Safety Professional and Registered Professional Engineer.
Overview
The Projects overlie the northwest extension of the Peace River Coal Fields District of northeast British Columbia (Figure 1). Some of Canada’s major coking coal and PCI coal mines (Willow Creek, Brule, Wolverine, and Trend) are located along strike from the property. Major resource projects including Cardero Resource Corp’s Carbon Creek Project and Canadian Kailuan Dehua’s Gething Project are located within 15 km of the Project area. To the south, Xstrata Coal is developing several coal tenements, including the Lossan Coal Project that it acquired in October for C$40 million.
The Dunlevy Project and the Nexx Projects are located in a well-developed area, approximately 90 km from Fort St. John, a regional commercial centre. All weather roads and good quality secondary roads link the Projects to Fort St. John and Chetwynd, where Canadian National Railway’s track is located. The rail leads to the Westshore, Neptune and Ridley coal terminals. There is also potential to reduce transportation costs by utilising waterways bordering the property to transport coal by barge to rail access.
Exploration activities, including geological mapping and trenching, have been undertaken within the Dunlevy Project area. Previous owners of Dunlevy completed 53 hand trenches in 2009 discovering 9 coal occurrences ranging in thickness from 0.8m to 3.5m. The Company plans to commence drilling and other exploration activities as soon as regulatory approvals are in place.

Table 1 - Coal License Applications
Geology
The Canadian Rocky Mountains north of Peace River consist of two linear belts or sub-provinces: the Foothills structural sub-province and the Rocky Mountains structural sub-province. The Projects are located within the Rocky Mountain Foothills belt of northeastern British Columbia where the Lower Cretaceous Gething Formation is found to contain economic medium volatile bituminous coal seams of the Gething Formation.
Coal in the Dunlevy Project area is in the Gething Formation. The coal mineralisation potential in the Dunlevy Project area is contained within the Dunlevy Creek syncline, which is a broad, open fold, bounded by tighter anticline folds to the southwest and to the northeast. The Dunlevy Creek syncline plunges gently to the southeast at about 4 degrees. The west limb of the fold has dips generally less than 12 degrees, while the northeast limb has dips that appear to increase up to sub-vertical. In the south and central areas, the shallow dipping coal measures appear to be about 5 km wide. Multiple coal occurrences ranging in thickness from 0.8m to 3.5m have been mapped within the project area.
Exploration History
Exploration in what is now known as the Peace Reach area of Williston Lake (immediately upstream of Peace River canyon) dates back to the 1700’s when the Peace River served as a major transportation corridor for fur traders. By 1910, the economic potential for coal within the Peace River region was noted through government funded geological expeditions. Subsequently, there has been relatively continuous geological interest, common to both industry and government that centred largely on the oil, gas and coal potential.
The present Dunlevy Project coal license applications comprise selected portions of what was once known as the Dunlevy Project (Utah Mines Ltd) and the Williston Property (Hudson’s Bay Oil and Gas Ltd.). Only minor exploration including geological mapping, prospecting, and drilling was undertaken within the project area. Utah Mines Ltd completed 1 diamond drill hole totaling 246 metres on the east limb of the Dunlevy Creek syncline. The hole was drilled to test the Gething Formation. It is unclear whether the hole actually intersected the Gething Formation. Hudson’s Bay Oil and Gas Ltd. and Cyprus Anvil Mining Corp. drill tested parts of the Dunlevy Creek syncline with 8 holes totaling 1256 metres. All of these holes were drilled outside and to the south east of the Project boundary. The holes appear to have tested the stratigraphic interval below the Gething Formation in what is known as the Cadomin Formation. At that time access to the current coal target area was limited; subsequently, however, new forestry roads have been cut across the coal measures exposing multiple occurrences. The Gething coal measures are recessive and generally have a cover of unconsolidated overburden that limits bedrock exposure.
In 2009 Dunlevy Energy Inc. completed reconnaissance field work over the Dunlevy Project including hand trenches and exposed a number of separate occurrences of potential economic interest. A total of 53 hand trenches were completed along new and existing road cuts and trails exposing coal seams of potential economic thickness. Mapping from these trenches yielded 9 coal occurrences ranging in thickness from 0.8m to 3.5m. As these samples were weathered, assessment of any metallurgical coal properties could not be accurately determined.
Commercial Terms – Acquisition of Dunlevy Energy Inc. and its Dunlevy Project
The Company and the three shareholders of Dunlevy, David Fawcett, Ken Murfitt and Kevin James (together the “Dunlevy Shareholders”), entered into a sale and purchase agreement (“SPA”) under which the Company, through its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, NWP Coal Canada Ltd.
