Figure 3 PT Barata Energy, Indonesian coal project map Jongkang Project Overview The Jongkang I and Jongkang II projects are currently in production and produced around 35,000 tonnes over the past year and were developed in December 2011 as part of a Joint Venture arrangement with a local Indonesian partner. Located in East Kalimantan approximately 5 km along an existing haul road from the Mahakam River, and about 25 km from a major hub of Indonesia s coal industry at Samarinda, each concession is covered by a production license comprising 100 hectares. Upon the receipt of the investment from Chapmans, Jatenergy will move to operate the Jongkang project at increased capacity.
The cash flow that will be provided by the increased production of this project is an important part of the Jatenergy business as it will substantially assist with funding the expansion of the company s operations.
