Blackall Project – Cross Section Location Plan Neighbours all the major players in Australia's recent international coal plays
==> picture [466 x 392] intentionally omitted <==
-
Drilling commenced late August 2011
-
Repeated, significant coal seam intersections over 26 km strike length
-
Extent and thickness of coal intersections to date suggest potential for very large tonnages at shallow depths (from 16 metres)
-
Total coal >10 metres confirmed in a number of CBQ holes at shallow depths
-
Blackall Coal Project is located on an existing rail corridor , outside of strategic cropping land areas
-
The Blackall Project represents a very small portion (<5%) of COALBANK’s total exploration footprint in Queensland
-
Targeting northward extensions of large known coal deposits immediately to south

Summary
COALBANK is an explorer and developer of early stage coal assets
Commencement of growth phase following recent exploration successes
A significant landholding in an emerging coal basin
In excess of 21,000 km[2] of overall holdings are across the Surat/Eromanga Basins west of Roma in Queensland
Additional projects in other coal basins close to operating coal mines with potential for multiple deposits and very large tonnages
Historical water bore records indicate significant coal intersections across all tenement holdings
Evidence of a major coal discovery over 26 km in strike length south of Blackall, with total coal intersections >10 metres from shallow depths (all at open-cut depths)
2012 drilling program to achieve maiden JORC-standard resource at Blackall to commence in March
A strategic process to manage recent partnering approaches is currently being considered
Planning for farm-out/de-merger of non-core metals and petroleum subsidiaries
