5. Overview of Basin Coal Mine

The Basin Coal Mine is located 30km northwest of Princeton, British Columbia, Canada. CEC has the right to develop and mine the coal on licences covering 2,172 ha.

Figure 1: Basin Coal Project Location

Overview of Project

Mining at the Basin Coal Mine began in 2002, but was ceased in 2005 when the government decided to abolish the use of coal power plants in the region. Infrastructure such as roads, a coal washing process plant and crushers were left behind.

After washing, the Basin Coal Mine product has highly favourable qualities and has already attracted interest from overseas and domestic buyers.

The main coal seam thickness over the drilled section of the property measures between 17m and 34m with dips ranging from 28 to 45 degrees. A further coal seam of 7m was found below the main coal seam which is not included in the NI43-101 coal resource estimates. Coal from the deposit is classed as a high volatile bituminous C thermal coal with low sulphur content, ideal for energy use.

Significant exploration upside has been identified both down dip and along strike from the defined resource.

Figure 2: Basin Road/Rail Transportation Route

The Project is located 90 kilometres from the rail load out in Hope, B.C. and from there a further 150 kilometre rail to Westshore Terminals in Robert’s Bank Port, Vancouver. As the project was a previously operating mine, initial infrastructure is in place to get the mine into production with relatively little capital expenditure compared to most new mines. Expansion opportunities are available for a larger scale operation with limited additional expenditure.

Currently, 1000m of the main coal seam is exposed. The initial pit was designed to be 1.3km long and was drill tested over a 2.5km strike length. Based on an NI 43-101 report, the resource of immediate interest stands at 19Mt.

Figure 3: Basin Project Previous Operations

Previous Exploration and Operations

Exploration has included surface core drilling, trenching and sampling across outcrops, and trial mining. The two drilling campaigns took place in 1977-1978 and in 1998. The 1977-1978 campaign consisted of twelve HQ-sized cored drill holes totaling 1,479 metres. All twelve holes intersected the main coal seam with nine penetrating further to intersect the lower coal seam. The 1998 campaign consisted of nine in-fill HQ-sized drill holes in the vicinity of the 1977-1978 campaign. The holes confirmed the results of the 1977-1978 campaign.

Pacific West Coal Ltd ( PWC ) was granted a permit to mine under the mining legislation in British Columbia, Canada in August 2000 and in 2001 Compliance Coal Corporation ( CCC ) entered into a Mining Agreement with PWC, whereby CCC had the right to develop and mine the coal reserves of the basin covered by coal licenses 355392 and 355393 (converted into Coal Lease 399463). In 2002, CCC received an amendment to the Mining Permit to allow for a production rate increase to 250,000 tpa.

In 2002, CEC, under the name Beanstalk Capital Corporation, acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of CCC.

Coal mining operations conducted by CCC on the Project are summarized below.

In 2001, a test mining program was conducted and approximately 6,500 bcm of coal was processed for analysis. In 2002, a total of 16,600t of coal was mined. In 2003, the pit was further developed but no coal was produced. CEC also signed its first coal supply contract. During the period 2004-2006, nearly 140,000t of clean coal was produced until the mine was put on care and maintenance as a result of the BC government announcing changes to their Energy Plan that effectively excluded coal as a source of fuel for electricity production in BC.

==> picture [399 x 331] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 4: Basin License and Hole Locations

The project consists of 1 coal lease, 7 coal licenses and 23 mineral claims covering a

total area of 2,172 ha.

A review of all historic exploration and development data is currently underway which may save the Company a significant amount of time and money in advancing the Project through a feasibility/development time table.

7. Resolution 1 – Creation of New Class of Shares

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to be authorised to issue Performance Shares.

A company with a single class of shares on issue which proposes to issue new shares not having the same rights as its existing shares, is taken to vary the rights of existing shareholders unless the Constitution already provides for such an issue.

Section 246B of the Corporations Act, and clause 2.4 of the Constitution provides that the rights attaching to a class of shares cannot be varied without:

  • (a) a special resolution passed at a meeting of the holders of the issued shares of the affected class; or

  • (b) the written consent of the holders of 75% of the votes of the affected class.

Pursuant to the Terms Sheet, the Company proposes issuing (amongst other securities) 15,000,000 Performance Shares (the terms and conditions of which are set out in Schedule 3) in part consideration for the Acquisition.

The purpose of the issue of the Performance Shares is to link part of the consideration to certain key performance criteria. If the milestones are not achieved within the prescribed timeframe, the Company will redeem the Performance Shares.

The Company currently has only one class of shares on issue being fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ). The terms of the Performance Shares are not the same as the Shares. Accordingly, the Company seeks approval from Shareholders for the issue of the Performance Shares.

The terms of the Performance Shares are subject to approval by ASX.

8. Resolution 2 – Acquisition of NWPC Pty Ltd

General

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of 5,000,000 Shares and 15,000,000 Performance Shares as consideration for the acquisition of 100% of the issued capital in NWPC Pty Ltd ( Acquisition ). Resolution 2 is subject to the passing of Resolution 1.

None of the subscribers pursuant to this issue will be related parties of the Company.

11

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Shares and Performance Shares pursuant to the Acquisition during the period of 3 months after the General Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
