ABOUT TERRACOM – terracomresources.com
TerraCom has fully commissioned the Baruun Noyon Uul (BNU) coking coal mine in the South Gobi of Mongolia. Export shipments under a 5.5 year offtake agreement have commenced on schedule. The company’s goal is to become one of the largest and highest quality coking coal producers in Mongolia, providing exceptional value for its steel-producing customers.
TerraCom completed the acquisition of the Blair Athol Coal Mine in May 2017. The acquisition included the mining lease, related licenses, land, site infrastructure, active contracts and all mining plant & equipment, including a dragline, to deliver TerraCom’s forecast production schedule and the progressive rehabilitation.
The acquisition of the Blair Athol Coal Mine is a significant milestone for TerraCom, bringing the following benefits:
-
Progressive rehabilitation of one of Queensland’s oldest coal mines;
-
The resumption of coal mining and export sales from the Blair Athol Coal mine providing the local, state and federal economies with increased economic activity, employment, royalties and taxation; and
-
Forecast positive cash flow through a low overhead structure and operational efficiencies.
TerraCom has completed over 50 hectares of site rehabilitation while bringing the mine back into production. The operation, under TerraCom management, is planned to deliver approx. 2Mtpa over 9 years[1] and ongoing progressive rehabilitation.
Additionally, TerraCom has long term exploration plans with the intent on developing two projects in Queensland, Australia: the large thermal coal Northern Galilee Project and the high energy prime thermal coal Springsure Project.
