Jameson Resources
Jameson Resources has entered into an option agreement to acquire the Basin Thermal Coal Mine (“Basin”) located in British Columbia, Canada. Basin has a large resource base of 124 million tonnes of raw coal with significant exploration upside. The Company is in the final stages of a feasibility study to recommission the existing mine at an expanded production rate between 500,000 and 700,000 tonnes per annum. Feasibility will be completed in the March quarter of 2010 and pending a decision to mine, production could commence by late 2010. Preliminary estimates support a cash operating margin of approximately $US20 per tonne based on 2010 futures contract pricing of thermal coal.
Jameson Resources agrees to Basin Coal Mine twelve month extension
Jameson Resources (ASX: JAL) has agreed to a twelve month extension of term and also a revision of the Option to Purchase Agreement with project vendors Compliance Energy Corporation (CVE: CEC) relating to the Basin Coal Mine Project. The agreement is subject to formal documentation.
The mine is located 300 km east of Vancouver near the town of Princeton, British Columbia.
The Agreement has been amended such that there will be no further consideration payable by Jameson in the event that it elects to exercise the Option to acquire the Basin Coal Mine Project. This would provide the company with an opportunity to conduct further exploration.
John Holmes, executive director, said the company has agreed to meet the property holding costs related to the Basin Coal Mine during the twelve month extension (estimated to be approximately CAD $150,000).
