In order to support further growth and expansion, TerraCom continues to evaluate cash generative assets for potential acquisition. In this regard, the Company has announced that it has reached agreement to acquire the Blair Athol Coal Mine (BA) in Queensland, Australia from the Blair Athol Joint Venture, with production scheduled to recommence in early 2017. The approval for transfer of the BA mining lease is progressing through the Government of Queensland process.
The combination of BNU HCC Mine and the Blair Athol Thermal Coal Mine positions TerraCom well to capitalise on the strong coal coking and thermal coal markets through recommencement of operations at both BNU Mine and BA Mine by the end of 2016.
The Company is also evaluating the acquisition of a hard coking coal mine in Kalimantan, Indonesia, a 500,000 tpa operation located in close proximity to road, barge and port infrastructure connecting it to the seaborne coal market.
