NOVEMBER 2012 HBA $35.21 LOWER THAN A YEAR AGO


COALspot.com -  The Indonesian government’s declared coal reference price for November’ 12 has lost US$ 4.60 per MT  M-o-M.

The monthly coal reference price for coal sales in November lost 5.35 percent compared to last month.

The Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources of Indonesia sets the coal’s spot price for November 2012 at US$ 81.44 per ton, 5.35 percent lower than October 2012 bench mark Price.

This coal benchmark price was calculated based on calorific value of 6,322 kcal/kg (GAR), stated to be using formula based on the October 2012 index average of ICI-1 (Indonesia Coal Index) 25%, Platts-5900 25%, NEX (Newcastle Export Index) 25%, and GC (globalCoal Index) 25%.

Assessment basis of coal price reference was calculated considering coal with GCV (GAR)  6,322 kcal/kg, Total Moisture (arb) 8.00%, Total Sulphur 0.8% (arb), Ash Content 15 % (arb) and  delivery free on Board (FOB) Vessel basis and applicable for spot contract, delivery between 1 – 30 November 2012.

The government of Indonesia has been publishing a monthly coal reference price (HBA & HPB) since January 2009 to be used by coal producers for all spot and term contracts. However the full implementation of HBA has started only since September 2011.

The November 2012 HBA is 30.18 percent or $ 35.21 lower Y-o-Y basis.

The price was only valid for the spot price (loading on or before 30 November 2012), while as for term price (up to 12 months supplies), the average reference price (HPB) of the previous 3 months will be used to determine the selling price. (50% of latest available month HPB, 30% of one month prior HPB and 20% of two months prior HPB).

Government also declared reference price for eight brands of Indonesia's coal, which are most commonly traded in the market. Those eight brands are acted as the benchmark and used to calculate other 62 coal types with a quality similar to the coal price markers.

For sales in barge, the reference price is reduced by barging and transshipment costs from barge to vessel.

The coal reference price, which has been established to fulfill the requirement of mining law 04/2009 and latest ministerial decree 17/2010 and also aims to increase government revenue from royalties from coal producers. According to industry, all existing coal supply agreements with Indonesian coal mining companies have been revised to comply with new coal pricing regulation, which was fully implemented on 23 September 2011.

The government has recently introduced export duty for unprocessed minerals but coal was missing in the recent regulation. According to Mining law 04/2009, the coal producers of Indonesia were asked to add value for their product such as washing, crushing, blending and upgrading to have a higher-value product prior to eye on the export market and avoid proposed export ban.

Supreme court of Indonesia has recently scrapped a government’s ban on the export of unprocessed minerals.

According to local media reports, the court had ordered the government to withdraw four chapters in the regulation, including one chapter limiting the exports of raw minerals since May 6. According to Ministerial Decree No. 7 on mineral processing, mining companies would only be granted mineral ore export permits after receiving CNC for their business licenses as well as showing commitment to establish smelters or cooperate with other companies to process their mineral ores for export.

New CNC
Indonesian government has issued clear & clean certificates for another 120 coal miners (7th batch) on 16 October 2012. In the meantime, the government has also canceled 4 CNC certificates issued to coal miners last year.
