 Cline owns the Lossan coal mine
project in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. The
Lossan coal is metallurgical (steel making) coal with
two grades – coking and pulverized coal injection (PCI).
An independent
Canadian National Instrument 43 101 Report shows an
in-place raw coal resource of 239.6 million tonnes.
Lossan is proximate to unit train rail service to year
round Ridley Island Pacific international tide-water
coal terminal (loading to 240,000 dwt vessels).
  
Cline owns the The Lossan Coal
Project located in the Peace River Coalfield of
northeastern British Columbia. The independent
engineering Report prepared to Canadian Instrument 43
101 requirements has been prepared and delivered to the
Company by Norwest Corporation, an independent
engineering and consulting company. The environmental
protection input and design contained in the Study was
undertaken by Rescan Environmental Services Ltd.
The Study and C.I. 43 101 Report
estimates total measured and indicated coal resources at
the Lossan Coal Project at 186.1 million tonnes and
total additional inferred coal resources at the Lossan
Coal Project of 53.5 million tonnes as follows:
 The Lossan
coal deposit yields two coal quality products, one a
medium volatile bituminous pulverized coal injection
(“PCI”) product and the other being a metallurgical
coking coal product.
The Lossan mine property is located
proximate to a unit train rail service connecting to the
Ridley Island bulk coal ship loading terminal at Prince
Rupert on the British Columbia Pacific west coast. The
Ridley Coal Terminal has significant excess annual coal
loading capacity.
Following the calculation of the
Lossan coal resource in place at 186.1 million tonnes of
measured and an additional coal resource of 53.5 million
tonnes indicated, Norwest Corporation delivered a
feasibility study (the “Study”) at the request of the
Company for the production of an initial 1.0 million
tonnes of coal a year from the Lossan coal mine project
over an initial 14 years (the “Lossan Coal Project”),
the coal taken from the total of 239.6 tonnes of coal in
place calculated in the Study. The reserve base for the
study was as follows:
 Among the
key assumptions of the Study are a product yield of 74%
being obtained, a waste to clean (product) coal strip
ratio of 8.4:1 during the first two years of operation,
increasing to an average of 10.2 bank cubic meters (BCM)
of waste to one metric tonne of clean coal over the 14
year feasibility period, a project capital cost of
approximately $57 million, an average price of US$80.00
per tonne of product PCI coal and US$90.00 per tonne of
product metallurgical coal and an exchange rate of
CDN$0.83 for US$1.00.
