Name of the Project
Bumi Barrito Minerals (BBM) pulverised coal injection startup project.

Location
Close to the Barito river, in Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Project Owner/s
Cokal subsidiary PT Bumi Barito Minerals.

Project Description
BBM contains a Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant coal resource estimate of 266.6-million tonnes comprising 19.5-million tonnes measured, 23.1-million tonnes indicated and 224-million tonnes inferred resources.

The project involves the development of a two-million-tonne-a-year opencut mining operation over ten years.

Potential Job Creation
Not stated.

Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
Not stated.

Capital Expenditure
$68-million.

Planned Start/End Date
Mining is currently scheduled to start on July 28, 2022.

Latest Developments
Cokal Coal has appointed a secondary mining contractor at its BBM mine.

Contractor PT. Citarum Borneo Quantum (CBQ) has been appointed to undertake openpit overburden mining services, and has already started mobilising equipment to the mine site.

Cokal has said that the appointment of a secondary contractor, in addition to PT Harmoni Panca Utama (HPU), will ensure that the BBM mine is able to be developed on time, and that initial saleable coal production is delivered by the September target.

The appointment of a secondary contractor will also provide a lower-cost alternative to HPU, and create the potential to increase yearly production capacity at BBM by using both of the mining contractors.

Cokal will undertake its own coal mining activities, given the contract with CBQ is limited to overburden removal.

Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
HPU (mining contractors); and CBQ (openpit overburden mining services).
