Indus Coal to initiate<br />

MukoMuko drilling<br />

ASX-LISTED Indus Coal intends to initiate a JORC-compliant drilling<br />

program on its MukoMuko Coal Project in Bengkulu province of<br />

Western Sumatra by the end of June. <strong>The</strong> drilling was delayed while the<br />

company focused on completing legal and technical due <strong>di</strong>ligence, and<br />

financing and settling the first stage of the purchase of the Jambi Coal<br />

Projects, also in Sumatra.<br />

While completing this work Indus has ensured that the MukoMuko<br />

project has met its environmental and forestry commitments, continued<br />

to accumulate data for the preliminary feasibility study, maintained<br />

ongoing native title commitments in the local villages and progressed the<br />

exploration program via ad<strong>di</strong>tional outcrop sampling.<br />

MukoMuko covers 2337 hectares of which about 63% encompasses<br />

the coal-bearing Lemau Formation and about 19% the secondary<br />

prospective Bitunan formation.<br />

Late last year Indus agreed to a series of transactions to purchase an<br />

in<strong>di</strong>rect interest in three thermal coal-bearing concessions totalling<br />

14,394 hectares in the thermal coal producing region of Jambi province.<br />

In early <strong>2013</strong> it purchased a 38% stake in BEP and BMC, representing<br />

stage 1 of the acquisition. <strong>The</strong> company has the right to purchase a further<br />

38% interest while the vendor has the option to sell to Indus a further<br />

24% sharehol<strong>di</strong>ng, subject to the satisfaction of certain con<strong>di</strong>tions.<br />

<strong>The</strong> concessions are Block 7 (5001 hectares), Block 8 (4380 hectares)<br />

and Block 9 (5013 hectares) in Jambi province, to the east of the<br />

MukoMuko project and with similar risk/reward profile. All three have<br />

granted exploration licence IUPs while Block 9 also has an AMDAL<br />

clearance (environmental licence). Indus expected that a production IUP<br />

and all necessary forestry permits would be granted for Block 9 during<br />

the first quarter of <strong>2013</strong>. AMDAL clearances and forestry permits for the<br />

other blocks are expected before June 30.<br />

Numerous operating coal mines are in close proximity to all three concessions<br />

with stripping rates between 1:1 and 1:6. Regional costs of coal<br />

mine production are about US$32 per tonne while the coal being mined<br />

has an average calorific value of 5300-5700 kcal/kg and sulphur content<br />

of 0.059-1.04%, and sells for US$48 per tonne.<br />

A 150-hole JORC-compliant drilling program for 15,000 metres has<br />

been planned across the concessions and will start with a 70-hole campaign<br />

on Block 9 over a ‘sweet spot’ of 1000 hectares.<br />

Indus is focused on bringing the MukoMuko and Jambi projects to<br />

production over the next 12 months and is continuing to build scale with<br />

local coal partner PT Param Energy, a company founded by Indus executive<br />

<strong>di</strong>rector Vinay Hariani and which is a vertically integrated coal<br />

mining business with 15 years of experience in coal project identification,<br />

coal mining and international coal tra<strong>di</strong>ng in Indonesia.<br />

Indus Coal memulai<br />

pemboran MukoMuko<br />

INDUS Coal yang terdaftar <strong>di</strong> ASX berniat memulai program pemboran<br />

memenuhi JORC <strong>di</strong> Proyek Batubara MukoMuko <strong>di</strong> daerah Bengkulu <strong>di</strong><br />

Sumatera Barat pada akhir bulan Juni. Pemboran <strong>di</strong>tunda karena perusahaan<br />

memusatkan perhatian dalam menyelesaikan due <strong>di</strong>ligence hukum<br />

dan teknis, serta menye<strong>di</strong>akan dana dan menyelesaikan tahap pertama<br />

pembelian Proyek-proyek batubara Jambi, juga <strong>di</strong> Sumatera.<br />

Sambil menyelesaikan kegiatan-kegiatan tersebut Indus meyakinkan<br />

bahwa proyek MukoMuko telah memenuhi syarat-syarat lingkungan dan<br />

perhutanan, <strong>terus</strong> mengumpulkan data untuk feasibility study awal, mengawal<br />

syarat-syarat hak pribumi <strong>di</strong> kampong-kampung setempat dan telah<br />

meneruskan program eksplorasi melalui sampel outcrop tambahan.<br />

MukoMuko mencakup 2337 hektar 63% darinya adalah batubara Formasi<br />

Lemau dan lebih kurang 19% prospektif sekunder formasi Bitunan.<br />

Pada akhir tahun lalu Indus menyetujui beberapa transaksi untuk membeli<br />

saham tidak langsung <strong>di</strong> tiga konsesi batubara panas berjumlah<br />

14,394 hektar <strong>di</strong> daerah produksi batubara panas Propinsi Jambi. Sebagai<br />

tahap pertama dari akuisisi ini pada awal <strong>2013</strong> ia telah membeli 38%<br />

saham <strong>di</strong> BEP dan BMC. Perusahaan ini berhak membeli 38% lagi sedangkan<br />

pihak penjual mempunyai opsi menjual kepada Indus 24% lagi<br />

saham setelah memenuhi beberapa syarat-syarat tertentu.<br />

Konsesi-konsesi tersebut adalah Blok 7 (5001 hektar), Blok 8 (4380<br />

hektar) dan Blok 9 (5013 hektar) <strong>di</strong> Propinsi Jambi, <strong>di</strong>sebelah timur<br />

proyek MukoMuko dan dengan profil risiko/hasil yang mirip sama.<br />

Ketiga-tiganya telah mendapatkan lisensi IUP eksplorasi sedangkan Blok<br />

9 juga mempunyai pembebasan AMDAL (lisensi lingkungan). Indus<br />

mengharapkan IUP produksi dan semua izin-izin kehutanan yang <strong>di</strong>perlukan<br />

akan <strong>di</strong>dapati untuk Blok 9 pada kwartal pertama <strong>2013</strong>.<br />

Pembebasan AMDAL dan izin-izin kehutanan untuk blok-blok lainnya<br />

<strong>di</strong>harapkan sebelum 30 Juni.<br />

Banyak lagi tambang-tambang batubara lain beroperasi <strong>di</strong>dekat ketiga<br />

konsesi-konsesi tersebut dengan nasbah stripping antara 1:1 sampai 1:6.<br />

Biaya-biaya setempat untuk produksi batubara berkisar sekitar AS$32 per<br />

tonne sedangkan batubaranya mempunyai nilai kalorifis antara 5300-5700<br />

kcal/kg dan kadar sulfur 0.059-1.04% dan <strong>di</strong>jual seharga AS$48 per tonne.<br />

Sebuah program pemboran 150 lubang memenuhi syarat JORC sepanjang<br />

15.000 meter menyangkut ketiga konsesi telah <strong>di</strong>rencanakan dan<br />

akan <strong>di</strong>mulai dengan kampanye 70 lubang <strong>di</strong> Blok 9 <strong>di</strong>atas ‘titik manis’<br />

seluas 1000 hektar.<br />

Indus bertekad menggiring proyek-proyek MukoMuko dan Jambi ke<br />

taraf produksi dalam waktu 12 bulan dan <strong>terus</strong> men<strong>di</strong>rikan skala dengan<br />

mitra lokal PT Param Energy, sebuah perusahaan pertambangan batubara<br />

terintegrasi vertikal yang <strong>di</strong>bentuk oleh Direktur Eksekutif Indus, Vinay<br />

Hariani dan berpengalaman 15 tahun dalam mengidentifikasi proyek<br />

batubara, pertambangan batubara dan penjual-belian internasional<br />

batubara <strong>di</strong> Indonesia.<br />

Indus Coal’s MukoMuko project is in Western Sumatra with<br />

the new Jambi projects to the east.<br />

<strong>The</strong> MukoMuko project boasts impressive logistics.<br />
