ASX/Media announcement

21[st] November 2011

Production Licence Granted for Jatenergy’s Second Indonesia Coal Project

  • Jongkang licence in east Kalimantan adds to existing Jongkang II mine

  • Drilling underway to define coal resource, mine planning underway

Jatenergy Limited (ASX code JAT) announced today that the Indonesian Government had issued a production licence covering its Jongkang coal joint venture in East Kalimantan, coming just one week after the company started mining its first coal from the neighbouring Jongkang II mine.

The highly prized licence now allows Jatenergy to commence coal mining operations from the Jongkang project. An advanced drilling program is nearing completion to define a resource covering the first planned mining pit on the tenement. Additional pits are also being planned.

Jatenergy CEO Phil Hodgson said: “The granting of the licence for Jongkang is a major milestone that sets in motion a rapid path to production on a second coal mine for the company. We are in the final stages of a drilling program designed to establish a JORC resource, so we can then provide details to the market about planned rates of production. Given the proximity to our current mining operation at Jongkang II, we expect Jongkang to come on stream during the first quarter of 2012, with our other east Kalimantan project – Atan Bara – to follow soon after.”

The company announced late in August that it had reached a preliminary agreement with Wijaya Mulia covering Jongkang, and then last week announced the execution of final agreements covering Jongkang as well as an operating mine – Jongkang II – with the common local partner to both projects. Under the final agreements, Jatenergy will cover the working capital costs of the projects, expected to be a maximum of US$2 million, in return for 30% of the mining margin and the ability to market both projects’ entire output. The projects are sited 5km from a stockpile, crushing and conveyor loading facility on the Mahakam River, about 25km from the coal shipping hub of Samarinda.

Phil Hodgson added: “We have reached the tipping point in our transition to becoming a meaningful energy player. While maintaining focus on our current projects, we are also working hard on new opportunities to exploit our enviable position as a cash-producing explorer, with plenty of upside potential, in a rapidly growing Asian energy market.”
