Jatenergy Wins Approval for Third Indonesian Coal Mine

  • Production licence granted for Atan Bara project in East Kalimantan

  • Export stockpile at two Jongkang mines reaches 5000 tonnes

Energy company Jatenergy Limited (ASX code JAT) today announced that the Indonesian Government had granted a production licence – an “IUP Produksi” - for the development of the company’s Atan Bara coal project in East Kalimantan.

Jatenergy’s CEO Phil Hodgson said the production licence was an important step in fulfilling the strategy to become a significant coal producer in one of the world’s major coal producing regions in Indonesia.

“We have now stockpiled more than 5000 tonnes of coal at our Jongkang coal mines and we are close to achieving Jatenergy’s first coal sale,” Phil Hodgson said. “The company bought into these mines during the second half of 2011, and now we have all the necessary approvals to develop a third export mine at Atan Bara.”

“We will need to complete some further drilling to define the mine plan and then mobilise contractor miners. In all, we would expect to start mining within about six months. It is a logistically simple, fast-to-production, high quality thermal coal project, similar to the mines at Jongkang,” Phil Hodgson said.

“Together, these operations will provide us with the cash flows to commence the development program on our much larger Katingan coal project in Central Kalimantan, which has an Exploration Target range of 36 million to 43 million tonnes at an average calorific value of 5575 kCal/kg, and where we aim to commence drilling once necessary approvals are granted. We are at the last step in this approvals process – awaiting Ministerial support - having already obtained the letter of support from the Regency.”

Jatenergy purchased contractual rights to Atan Bara last year after making a strategic diversification into coal. This included a mining services contract covering exploration and production activities, and a coal off-take agreement covering the entire mine output. The production licence covers more than 200 ha and has an exploration target of between 500 and 700 kt of high quality thermal coal*.

Atan Bara is located about 6 km from a stockpile and crushing facility on a major tributary feeding into Balikapan Bay, near a significant coal trading hub. Production costs are expected to average at about US$45 per tonne, while FOB barge sales of this type of quality coal is currently fetching around US$60 per tonne. Similar sized coal mining operations in the area are producing around 20,000 tonnes per month. Jatenergy will provide the working capital to develop the mine, expected to be a maximum of $2 million, from cash flow generated by its other producing mines.

*The Exploration Targets above are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource under JORC guidelines; it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the determination of a mineral resource. This conceptual target may or may not be outlined with future work, either in whole or in part.
