Indonesia MICROMINE assists Indonesian coal operations WITH a history dating back more than 27 years, MICROMINE has a strong connection to the coal industry. Through provision of its software solutions and services, MICRO - MINE has assisted coal operations throughout Indonesia operate more efficiently and profitably. Released at MINExpo in Las Vegas last September, Coal Measure is a dynamic and integrated software solution for coal data management and coal data processing with 3D seam modelling, resource categorization, resource reporting, pit optimization, pit design and scheduling. Designed for clients demanding a software application that could be utilized for coal exploration and mining operations, Coal Measure’s strengths ultimately lie in driving cost reductions, improving planning and increasing operational efficiencies. Coal Measure has been developed to cater to the geological and mining elements of a project. The solution is coal industry specific, including its features, functions and terminology. It contains elements of MICROMINE’s data management solution Geobank, and the company’s flagship exploration and mine design solution, Micromine. Development of the solution was done taking into account the needs of both MICROMINE’s existing coal clients and leading industry consultants. Rigorous testing in real-life environments is part of the MICROMINE product delivery process, which ensures the software meets the requirements of the market. MICROMINE’s CEO Kevin Fitzpatrick says, “With coal becoming an increasingly critical energy source, our clients have been demanding a more sophisticated solution that takes into account the complexities of coal and the ways in which it is mined. It has become very clear to us that we needed to develop a world-class solution that was both sophisticated enough to take into account these complexities, whilst also ensuring it remained both user-friendly and was easily transferable.” In terms of functionality, Coal Measure’s approach to coal deposits is vastly different to that for metalliferous and irregular deposits. For coal, interpretation and wireframing are replaced by modelling seam morphology using griddling based on stratigraphic sequence, followed by direct conversion into a seam block model. Coal Measure has been developed to ensure that modelling coal projects can be executed quickly due to seamless processes, from stratigraphic hierarchy compilation, through to gridding and seam block model generation. MICROMINE invests 25% of its software 20 l Coal Age Indonesia l April 2013 Seam BM and pit design using MICROMINE’s Coal Measure. revenue into research and development, ensuring its technology continues to lead the industry. Future product development plans for Coal Measure include the development of modules for Coal Bed Methane and Coal Seam Gas. Coal Industry Standards Committee As part of MICROMINE’s commitment to positioning itself at the forefront of technological and industry developments, the company involves itself with key industry groups and affiliations. The Australian Coal Industry recently released ‘CoalLog’ Version 1, an Australian borehole data logging standard which was initially developed by senior GeoCheck staff Andries Pretorius, Gary Ballantine and Brett Larkin, followed by collaboration with major mining and software companies. MICROMINE’s senior Geobank data management specialist Ibo Mango is a member of the collaborative panel responsible for the release of CoalLog. Early involvement in this project, the ACARP Project C21003, has enabled MICROMINE to invest considerable time helping develop a solution that will benefit the coal sector and the company’s coal clients. Ibo Mango says, “My involvement with the panel has been important to me as it is clear that the standard will benefit the industry. For many years coal related data consultancy has been dependent on many variable factors. Depending on the data format and dictionaries used, my findings have varied considerably from company to company. “The best part about CoalLog is the benefits it will provide MICROMINE’s clients. A universally consistent system will be more transferable within the industry and will allow operations to record and manage higher quality and more accurate borehole data. MICROMINE is excited to be part of this new data standardisation improvement and being in a position to introduce the new standard within clients’ operations,” he concludes. Micromine Consulting Services In addition to offering software solutions to the coal industry, Micromine’s Consulting Services group (MCS) has provided consulting services to a number of Indonesian coal clients, including PT Timah, Altura and PT Asari. MCS is in the unique position of having recognized inhouse experts in the area of coal mining and geology. And, through the provision of premium services, has built a reputation as a leading consulting authority within the coal sector. MCS delivers its services through a highly professional and experienced team of geologists, mine engineers, surveyors and GIS specialists who have the proven expertise to help clients achieve their objectives. Mongolian coal producer Sharyn Gol recently commissioned MCS to complete a technical report compliant with JORC guidelines for its coal mine north of Ulaanbaatar. The estimate provided by MCS quadrupled Sharyn Gol Coal project’s resource inventory. The report’s findings enhanced the company’s competitiveness within the domestic and international coal markets, resulted in further developments of the mine, and increased the potential for greater profits and shareholder return.
Indonesia Noble obtains Pan Asia stake Noble Resources International, a subsidiary of Singapore-listed Noble Group has acquired a stake in Pan Asia Corporation and has also been appointed a strategic advisor to PT Transcoal Minergy. PT TCM is developing a high CV thermal coal project in South Kalimantan and is 75% owned by Pan Asia. Noble will subscribe for 7 million shares amounting to 5.34% of Pan Asia and will appoint a non-executive director to Pan Asia’s board. Pan Asia CEO Alan Hopkins says, “We are very pleased to further strengthen the ties between the companies. We have a shared motivation to expedite the advancement of production at TCM, and to pursue additional growth opportunities. In particular, Noble has a strong understanding of and presence in the Indonesian coal industry and can provide Pan Asia with invaluable support in delivering the TCM project.” Harum completes KUP acquisition PT Harum Energy has completed the acquisition of 50.5% of PT Karya Usaha Pertiwi (KUP) for a total consideration of US$2 million. KUP holds a mining business licence (IUP) for a thermal coal concession in Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan. KUP’s concession area of about 2700 hectares is adjacent to Harum’s Mahakam Sumber Jaya (MSJ) and Santan Batubara (SB) mines. Due to this proximity, KUP coal is expected to have similar characteristics to coal from MSJ and SB, and allow its future coal production to utilize most of Harum’s existing infrastructure. Pre-operation and exploration activities at KUP are expected to begin shortly. Harum’s operating mines produce low ash, low sulphur thermal coal with bituminous characteristics which are marketed to a diversified customer base in Asia. Indomining signs contractor deal Indomining, a subsidiary of Toba Bara Sejahtera (TBS), has signed a US$115 million agreement with RPP Contractors Indonesia to develop a coal mine in East Kalimantan. Work to be undertaken includes land clearing, overburden removal, ripping, loading and transporting waste management, road maintenance, and treating water. RPP replaces previous contractor Saptaindra Sejati, whose commitment had expired. Indomining’s concession, which covers 683 hectares of land, is in Sanga-Sanga, Kutai Kartanegara, East Kalimantan. Total coal reserves at the mine, which the company has operated since 2007, are estimated to be 37 million tonnes. TBS owns a majority stake in three coal subsidiaries - Indomining (99.99%), Adimitra Baratama Nusantara (51%) and Trisensa Mineral Utama (99.92%). The company is targeting production of 12.1 million tonnes by 2014, up from the 7.6 million tonnes estimated for 2012.
