Cline owns the The Lodgepole Coal Project located in the
Crowsnest Pass area in southeastern British Columbia.
The independent engineering Report prepared to Canadian
Instrument 43 101 requirements has been prepared and
delivered to the Company by G.R. Technical Services Ltd,
an independent engineering and consulting company. The
environmental protection input and design contained in
the Study was undertaken by EBA Engineering Consultants
Ltd.
  
The Study and
Canadian
National Instrument 43 101 Report estimates total
measured and indicated coal resources at the Lossan Coal
Project at 154.572 million tonnes and total additional
inferred coal resources at the Lodgepole Coal Project of
3.228 million tonnes as follows:

The Lossan coal deposit will produce
a low volatile bituminous pulverized coal injection
(“PCI”) for use in the steel making industry.
The Lodgepole mine property is
located within haul distance of a unit train rail
service connecting to the Vancouver area, British
Columbia, Canada year round bulk coal ship loading
terminals on the Pacific west coast. The Ridley Coal
Terminal has significant excess annual coal loading
capacity.
Following from calculation of the
Lodgepole coal resource in place at 154,572 million
tonnes of measured and an additional coal resource of
3.228 million tonnes indicated, G.R. Technical Services
Ltd. delivered a feasibility study (the “Study”) at the
request of the Company for the production of an initial
2.0 million tonnes of coal a year from the Lodgepole
coal mine project over an initial 20 years (the
“Lodgepole Coal Project”), the coal taken from the total
of 154.572 million tonnes of coal in place calculated in
the Study.
The Study further estimates total
proven and probable coal reserves for the Coal Project,
which are utilized for the planned coal production from
the above coal resource base, of 40.599 million tonnes
as follows:

Among the key assumptions of the
Study are a product yield of 65 % being obtained, a
waste to clean (product) coal strip ratio of 5.8:1
during the first five years of operation, increasing to
an average of 8.0 bank cubic meters (BCM) of waste to
one metric tonne of clean coal over the 20 year
feasibility period, a project capital cost of
approximately $154.8 million, an average price of US$
85.00 per tonne of product PCI coal and an exchange rate
of CDN$ 0.83 for US$ 1.00. The Study contemplated a
pre-tax net present value (NPV) for the Coal Project
(using a 10 % discount factor) of $ 274.5 million; after
repayment of invested capital, and a pre-tax internal
rate of return on the invested capital (IRR) at the Coal
Project of 29.6 % subject to future economic, cost,
price and exchange rate sensitivities. The
G.R. Technical Services Ltd. Study
is presented in this clinemining.com website.
The permitting process for the Coal
Project is proceeding subject to regulatory approval.
Statements in this Lodgepole
presentation and the Study, other than purely historical
information, including statements relating to NPV, IRR,
the Company’s future plans and objectives or expected
results constitute forward looking statements. Forward
looking statements are based on numerous assumptions and
are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties
inherent in the Company’s business, including risks
inherent in mineral exploration and development. As a
result, the results actually obtained by the company
will vary from those described in the forward looking
statements and such variations may be material. |
