Introduction

Western Canada's leading coking coal developer

Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Colonial Coal International Corp. (CCIC) is a publicly traded pure-play metallurgical coal development company. Currently, CCIC holds a 100% interest in two resource-stage coal properties in the Peace River Coalfield of northeastern British Columbia, Canada: namely, the Huguenot and Flatbed properties.

Investment Highlights

Unparalleled Investment Opportunity

  • Well-positioned to support projected global steel growth
    • Global demand for coking coal continues to increase. Port and end-user coal inventories remain close to historically low levels, supporting the outlook for steelmaking coal demand.
    • Sourcing additional high-quality coking coal from northeast British Columbia provides opportunities for diversification of existing supply and transportation options.
    • Coal from Colonial Coal's projects into the East-Asian market has cost and logistic advantages.
  • Gain exposure to one of the most active coal belts in a mining friendly jurisdiction with excellent infrastructure in place
    • Recent M&A and JV activity by Walter Energy, Anglo American (PRC), Glencore (via Xstrata), JX Nippon, Conuma in northeast BC, and Bathurst in southeast BC
    • Capacity expanded at western Canadian coal ports
  • Strategically located, 100% owned metallurgical coal properties adjacent to other major projects provide logical buyer and partnership opportunities
    • Huguenot is located between Anglo's Belcourt and Saxon projects
    • Flatbed borders Anglo's Trend mine (currently under care and maintenance) and the proposed Window open-pit mine (initially Teck, now Conuma) and lies close to Conuma's proposed Hermann open-pit mine and HD Mining's advanced Murray River underground project.
  • Invest in two of the largest deposits of premium quality hard coking coal in western Canada
    • The only Canadian listed, publicly-traded, pure-play metallurgical coal company in western Canada: 100% interest in 2 resource-stage coal projects (Huguenot & Flatbed) in the Peace River Coalfield of northeastern British Columbia
    • Surface and underground mineable resources totalling approximately 277.7 Mt of Measured & Indicated plus 119.2 Mt of Inferred resources at Huguenot
    • Underground mineable resources totaling approximately 298 Mt Inferred at the Gordon Creek Project on the Flatbed property.
  • Highly experienced management team with a proven track record in the Peace River Coalfield
    • Highly capable management team with significant experience advancing other development projects to production in the region
    • David Austin (President, CEO & Chairman) co-founded and built Western Coal Corp., sold to Walter Energy in 2010 for CAD$3.3 billion, and is credited for the exploration, development and sale of Northern Energy & Mining Inc. (NEMI) to Anglo for +CAD$400 million.


Projects in Hand

(1) Huguenot Coking Coal Project, Northeastern British Columbia

The Huguenot Coal Project, located within the Peace River Coalfield of N.E. British Columbia, is 100%-owned by Colonial Coal. It is situated approximately 115 road-km from the Quintette load-out, covers an area of 9,531 ha, and forms one contiguous block of 17 coal licenses that encompass previously explored deposits.

In-place resources total 397 million tonnes (Mt) of premium hard, coking coal. Preliminary economic assessment (PEA) reports have demonstrated both open-pit and underground mining potential, with production averaging 2.7 Mt/y for 27 years and 1.9 Mt/y for 28 years, respectively. Mined concurrently, the Project would provide an average of 4.6 Mt per year, making Huguenot one of the most substantial coal resources in the region.

  • Situated adjacent to the proposed Belcourt South open pit (owned by PRC/Anglo)
  • Trucking distance of ~111 road-km – also accessible by ~85 km rail spur (or combination rail and overland conveyor) – to link with the existing rail line
  • Amenable to surface and underground mining
  • 1.5% royalty FOB port
  • Gates Formation coal seams: the same as past and current producers in the Tumbler Ridge area
  • 2018 PEA contemplates an 85 km, 3rd party built rail spur that would be available for use by other potential producers in the region (less if an overland conveyor is used) to connect the project to the main rail line.
  • 2020 PEA contemplates trucking to the existing rail line via upgraded off-highway roads (~75 km) and existing paved highway (~36 km).

(2) Flatbed Coking Coal Project, Northeastern British Columbia

The Flatbed Coal Property, located within the Peace River Coalfield of N.E. British Columbia, is 100%-owned by Colonial Coal. It is situated between 8 to 10 road-km from the PRC and Quintette loadouts, lies adjacent to Anglo American's Trend Mine and Conuma's (previously Teck's) proposed Window pit, and consists of eight coal licenses that cover an area of 9,607 ha. Work has concentrated on the northwestern coal licenses, within an area referred to as the Gordon Creek deposit. In-place resources from 7 coal seams total 298 Mt. A 2018 PEA study demonstrated the potential for a 30-year underground coal mine averaging approximately 1.9 Mt/year of premium to near-premium, hard coking coal; the two lower seams are currently viewed as premium PCI coal.

Project Summary

  • Proximal to supportive infrastructure such as existing rail, power, highways, and the town of Tumbler Ridge.
  • Located near currently and recently producing coal mines (with rail loadouts and wash plants) plus several other very advanced, permitted, coal projects.
  • Amenable to underground mining.
  • 1.5% royalty FOB port.
  • Gates Formation coal seams: the same as past and current producers in the Tumbler Ridge area.
  • Hard Coking Coal (HCC) – Seams B to G plus Premium Pulverized Coal Injection (PCI) Coal – Seams J and K.

Joint Development Potential

    Sharing in the development of joint infrastructure (roads / rail) with other operators and potential operators in the region would lower initial capital costs at Huguenot and Flatbed.

  • Huguenot is adjacent to the Belcourt Project (Anglo) with the Duke Mountain (Teck) and Wapiti (Canadian Dehua) properties located nearby and along the proposed transportation route.
  • Development / operating costs would be distributed across all operators in the region for greater scale and lower per tonne cost.
  • While rail is the preferred mode of transportation in the region, trucking coal is viable although more expensive on a per tonne basis.
