Dear Sir
ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR QUARTER ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
ACTIVITIES RELATED TO ENERGY PROJECTS:
Coal Projects – General
The company has undertaken limited field activities with no drilling in its permits in the quarter.
Following a review of the exploration permit portfolio, taking into account current availability of rail and port infrastructure and likelihood of timing for new infrastructure, the company has commenced the process of relinquishing a number of permits where no coal resources have yet been identified.
Company officers took the opportunity in early October to meet the Coal Assessment Hub team in the Rockhampton office of the Department of Natural Resources and Mines who recently took over the management of Exploration Permits for Coal to discuss our relinquishment strategy.
The intention is to rationalise holding costs in areas where coal project development would be very long term in the current industry environment. All permits were current at the end of the quarter.
