EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Minarco-MineConsult Pty Ltd MMC was commissioned by PT. Bayan Resources Bayan to complete an independent estimate hereafter, referred to as the “Statement” of the Open Cut Coal Resources and Reserves
of three adjoining mining concessions. The three concessions are PT. Fajar Sakti Prima “FSP”, PT. Bara Tabang “BT” and PT Brian Anjat Sentosa “BAS” and are collectively known as the “Tabang Concessions”
and are referred to as the “Tabang” project in this report. The Statement reports the Coal Resources and Reserves as at 31
st
March, 2008 and has been undertaken in compliance with the requirements of the reporting guidelines of the 2004 Joint Ore Reserves Committee of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Australian
Institute of Geoscientists and Minerals Council of Australia “The JORC Code”.
The Tabang project is located in the province of East Kalimantan, Indonesia, as shown on Figure 1.
Tabang is one of six coal projects operated by Bayan and a separate Coal Resources and Reserves report is being prepared for each project. The two northern concessions FSP and BT comprise the area of interest for an open
cut. The third concession, BAS has limited available data and has been excluded from this report.
Seven shallow lying coal seams Seams 1 to 7 and sub-seams or seam splits of variable thickness with a single major seam Seam 3 ranging in thickness up to 32.5 m have been identified. The in situ coal is high
Total Moisture TM 33.5, low energy 4,305 kcalkg gross as received, gar, low ash 3.5 air dried basis, adb, low sulphur 0.1 adb sub-bituminous coal. The geology in the area is relatively simple with seams
dipping gently to the south at less than 5 degrees.
The mining method can be described as “multi seam, low dip open cut coal mining using truck and shovel equipment in a haulback operation.” After the initial box cut waste is hauled to ex-pit dumps, waste will
be hauled back into the mined out area, when pit room is available and the dump area will then be rehabilitated. The proposed open cut operation will use hydraulic excavators and trucks to mine the coal and waste. The
run-of-mine ROM coal is not washed but is to be crushed to produce a thermal export coal or else feed to an upgrade plant.
Facilities include offices and a camp with associated road access, power and water supply. Trial coal production commenced in the Fajar Sakti Prima block in 2005, and in 2007 a total of 349,089 tonnes of coal was
mined. The adjoining BT block is scheduled to be developed in 2009. PT Kaltim Supacoal a party related to Bayan is currently constructing a coal upgrading plant located in the eastern of the BT block. The plant is
planned to initially process 1.5 Mt of raw coal feed to produce an estimated 1.0 Mt of higher CV briquettes with production commencing in 2009.
The Tabang mine will therefore produce two coal products, one as a standard thermal coal to be barged to the Balikpapan Coal Terminal BCT for blending and the second as a feedstock for the coal briquetting plant.
Coal is currently trucked 27 km from the pit to a temporary barge loading port at Gunung Sari on the Belayan River and transported in small barges 1,000-3,000t to the Mahakam River junction where it is transferred to
larger barges 8,000t and barged to the Balikpapan Coal Terminal. Total transport distance is 521 km. In the dry season, the Belayan River may be inaccessible even for small barges at times. The company is constructing a 70
km haul road east to the Kedang Kepala River where 3,000t barges can be loaded all year round.
The Coal Resources in the FSP and BT concessions are estimated to total 530 million tonnes Mt of which 258 Mt are classed as Measured, 149 Mt as Indicated with the balance of 123 Mt as Inferred. Of this total,
106 Mt are within the FSP concession and 424 Mt in BT. Coal Reserves were estimated by applying mining factors and exclusion criteria to the Coal Resources.
The mining factors such as recovery and dilution were defined from the current open cut mining method. The exclusion criteria included the concession boundary and a minimum working section thickness. Minex
“Optimiser” software was used to generate a series of incremental pit shells which reflect different economic scenarios and changes in the breakeven incremental strip ratio. Results were examined and the preferred pit
shells were then selected by determining the breakeven strip ratio corresponding to the predicted mining economics. Coal quantities within this pit shell were then evaluated so that only Indicated Coal Resources were
classified as Reserves.
Based on this approach this gave a total of 60 Mt of Proved Open Cut Coal Reserves, 258 Mt of Probable Open Cut Coal Reserves for a total of 318 Mt of Proved and Probable Open Cut Coal Reserves.
A-56
The average strip ratio is 3.2 bcm tonne were estimated. The average coal quality is TM 33.5, CV 4,217 kcalkg gar, ash 4.7 ar and sulphur 0.1 ar. All the Coal Reserves are classified based on the level of
detail completed in the mine planning and also the level of confidence in the resources. Coal Resources are reported inclusive of Coal Reserves that is, Coal Reserves are not additional to Coal Resources.
There are a number of planning issues which may impact on the stated mining reserves. These include: ‰ detailed geotechnical studies
‰ ongoing exploration drilling and updates to the geological model, ‰ hauling the coal to the more distant Kedang Kepala River, which is navigable by 3,000t barges year
round, ‰ processing the coal at the PT. Kaltim Supacoal briquette plant to be constructed nearby to decrease
moisture content and increase the energy value, and ‰ ongoing mine planning including different mining equipment and more detailed planning of the start
up period. These issues may cause the pit shells and mining quantities to change in future JORC statements.
The Coal Resource estimates in the report were estimated by Mr. William Park, BSc Geology, BEcon, MAIG who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. The estimates are based on information
compiled and reviewed by Mr Park. He is a full time employee of MMC and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity undertaken to qualify him as a
Competent Person
as defined in the 2004 Edition of the JORC Code. The Coal Reserve estimates in the report were estimated by Mr Paul Westcott BE Mining, Hons,
FAusIMM, CPMin, MMICA, MAIME, who is a Chartered Professional Mining Engineer, a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, a Member of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, and a
member of the Mineral Industries Consultants Association. The estimates are based on information compiled and reviewed by Mr Westcott. He is a full time employee of MMC and has sufficient experience which is relevant to
the style and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity undertaken to qualify him as a Competent Person
as defined in the 2004 Edition of the JORC Code. This report may only be presented in its entirety. Parties wishing to publish or edit selected parts of the
text, or use the Statement for public reporting, must obtain prior written approval from MMC and the signatories of this report.
