Churchill Mining
Churchill’s main focus is its highly prospective thermal coal project located in the East Kutai Regency of Kalimantan, Indonesia. The Company has concluded an Exclusivity Agreement with PT Techno Coal Utama and the JORC compliant resource has been defined as 1.412 billion tonnes. Exploration and resource drilling continue along with scoping and pre-feasibility work.
Churchill has also acquired the Sendawar CBM Project in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, which is in an highly prospective area for coal bed methane. Additionally the Company acquired the South Woodie Woodie manganese project in Western Australia however due to the Company’s focus on Indonesia and the increased prospectivity of the project 80% was sold to Spitfire Resources Ltd.
Churchill's management continues to assess further opportunities in Australia and southern Asia to acquire quality projects in line with the Company's business plan. Churchill is committed to growing shareholder value by becoming a leading minerals explorer and future miner.
