AUSTRALIAS COKAL EXPANDS MET COAL POTENTIAL INTO WEST KALIMANTAN


COALspot.com - Global metallurgical coal group Cokal Limited (Cokal) (ASX:CKA) announced today it has completed the acquisition of 75.2% of PT Silangkop Nusa Raya (SNR), which holds three exploration licenses in West Kalimantan near the Malaysian border (SNR Licences). The SNR Licenses cover an area of approximately 13,000 hectares, according to the company 's statement posted on company's website.

Cokal’s Executive Chairman, Peter Lynch said “that while recent exploratory work for metallurgical coal in the area was limited, surface samples of coal from surrounding areas had shown good coking coal properties and I am excited by the possibility of opening up a new area”. The table below shows the analytical results of surfaces samples taken from weathered outcropping coal seams from areas surrounding the SNR License area that are believed to continue into the SNR License area.

While little work has been done recently, earlier work in the area identified potential coking coal in the region. A review of the geological records of the area found that work done by a major Japanese coal company had identified coking coal bearing formations close to the western border of the SNR Licenses.

CEO, Mr James Middleton, said that the company intends to start a greenfield exploration programme in West Kalimantan to further determine the potential of the region. Cokal believes that the SNR properties are strategically placed within the region and have the potential to yield high value coking coal.

The final administrative details associated with the proposed acquisition are expected to be finalized in the June quarter of 2012 with initial mapping and preliminary geological work to start shortly after. As this is in effect a greenfield exploration programme, significant base line exploration (scout work and mapping) and approvals will be required before moving into drilling and subsequent phases of exploration. The acquisition cost is A$722,000 cash. Under the agreement, Cokal has acquired 75.2% of the equity of PT Silangkop Nusa Raya, the Indonesian Company owning the exploration licenses. Local Indonesian partners will hold the balance of the equity in PT Silangkop Nusa Raya. Cokal's local Indonesian partners have an option to finance their share of the project exploration and development costs through a loan from Cokal, at commercial interest rates, repayable out of their share of the future profits of PT Silangkop Nusa Raya.

The proposed acquisition has received Indonesian regulatory approval and PT Silangkop Nusa Raya has been converted to a PMA Company. Under Indonesian law a PMA Company is able to have up to 100% foreign ownership.
