YEAR IN REVIEWCompany Highlights since 2014 AGMContinuation of our strong safety recordNo lost time injuries across drilling programs conducted during the year
Strategic acquisitions provide Stanmore with an established coking coal mine and expansion projectIsaac Plains Open Cut Coking CoalCompletion of Isaac Plains East acquisition1 (previously named Wotonga - MDL 135 and part of MDL 137)
Contracted to acquire 100% of the Isaac Plains Coal Mine from Vale S.A. and Sumitomo Corporation2
Targeting mining recommencement for 1H 2016 and an initial production rate of 1.1Mt per annum
Acquired assets to provide strategic platform in the region as we seek to build a scale coking coal business at a cyclical low point in the coalmarket featuring depressed asset prices
Substantial progress on other development projectsClifford Thermal Coal ProjectMaiden JORC Resource3 of 370 Mt at the Clifford Project with 80 Mt of Indicated and 290 Mt of Inferred Resource
Encouraging initial in-situ strip ratio of between 6-7:1 with high energy, low emission coal quality characteristics
Belview Coking Coal ProjectCompleted exploration program utilising $1.5 million funding support provided by Taiheiyo Kouhatsu and JOGMEC
Coal quality analysis work confirms the project can produce a high quality coking coal plus secondary PCI product, with a high total productyield. Pre-Feasibility Study underway with a focus on reducing capital costs and developing initial mining options
