"B) TECHNOLOGIES BEING REVIEWED / ADOPTED

i) Continuous Hydro -Thermal Dewatering (CHTD) of Coal: Your Company is
working with Exergen - an Australian company, on a technology that alters
chemical properties of coal and makes it hydrophobic. Low grade coal (~ 50%
moisture) is processed at 100 Bar pressure and 250O C to produce good
quality coal (25% moisture). A pilot (4 TPD) plant has been built and
operated for 4 years. Exergen and your Company are working on the design
and financing of a demonstration plant that will process 50 TPH coal."

"Bacchus Marsh

Exergen has established a joint venture with WA-based exploration company Mantle Mining Corporation Limited (ASX: MNM) to develop the historic Bacchus Marsh coal deposit in country Victoria. The JV has been awarded an Exploration Licence (EL 5294) and following a recent 15-hole drilling program the partners are expected to announce a JORC Compliant Resource in July.August of 2012. Exergen's goal is to develop a long-term mine plan and CHTD processing facility which will underpin an export-based coal operation with established rail and port infrastructure.

Mantle executed a Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) and a Technology Licence Deed (TLD) with clean coal technology group Exergen Pty Ltd. The JVA and TLD provide a framework for the potential future development of the deposit. Under the terms of the agreements Exergen assumes project management responsibility.

Exergen is responsible for the development of a $50 million demonstration project intended to confirm success of their patented Continuous Hydro-Thermal Dewatering (CHTD) technology at commercial scale. CHTD technology was entirely developed in Australia and transforms low grade, high moisture coals into a cleaner burning product with lower carbon dioxide emissions.

Exergen’s major cornerstone investors include TATA Power, India’s largest private power utility, Leighton subsidiary Thiess, the world’s largest supplier of outsourced mining services, Itochu, Japan’s third largest trading house with extensive coal trading experience, and Sedgman, a global specialist provider of mineral engineering solutions.

CHTD is a highly efficient and low emission technology because water is physically separated from the coal in the liquid state, rather than being removed through the highly energy-intensive process of evaporation.

Exergen expects that its CHTD coal would be used in state of the art power stations being constructed in India. This type of new power station emits between 30 and 40% less carbon dioxide than Victoria’s existing coal-fired power stations in the Latrobe Valley.

CHTD has been proven at Exergen’s pilot plant on Victorian and Indonesian coals with moisture contents ranging between 35% and 65%. Depending on requirements of overseas markets; Exergen expects to deliver final products with moisture contents between 10% and 25%.

A bulk sample of Bacchus Marsh coal was processed at the CHTD pilot plant. Laboratory analysis confirmed that transformation of the Bacchus Marsh coal had successfully occurred on a continuous basis. Subsequent secondary dewatering and pressing of a representative sample of low moisture briquettes was also achieved at the pilot plant facility.

A scoping study completed by the Bacchus Marsh coal joint-venture found that the project is economically viable and would generate substantial local employment. The scope of work for the scoping study was for a Full Scale Plant (FSP) capable of producing up to 20 mtpa of CHTD processed product capable of being shipped to India.

The study, by Sedgman and Thiess, found the project would require an initial capital investment of $2 billion, delivering a Net Present Value of $1.4 billion and a mine life of more than 25 years.

It found that the project would generate an average of 900 direct construction jobs, peaking at 1300 in the Bacchus Marsh and Geelong areas, including 400 permanent jobs at the mine and 90 at an associated CHTD plant. The project would also create 3600 indirect manufacturing jobs around Australia for supply of goods and services.

Exergen’s focus now will be to prove its CHTD technology at scale by developing the $50 million pre-commercial demonstration facility, to be located in the Latrobe Valley.

The company plans to complete a bankable feasibility study on the project by the end of 2015. If that study is positive and subject to success at the Latrobe Valley pre-commercial demonstration facility, production could potentially start at Bacchus Marsh in 2018.

Any future development will be subject to a stringent approvals process, including strict environmental compliance obligations and comprehensive community engagement."


IMO you can expect all this type of info and more in the prospectus you will soon receive outlining why you should accept the takeover and be diluted into a small part ownership of a soon to be major global coal player.

Or you could listen to SP3, who likes to post as if he's in the know, then asks questions like "Can anyone honestly say the current board has performed any better than any of the previous boards?" which show that just like the great "A", he is just waiting, hoping and just as in the dark as all other holders.

Or Obes who gets bored, Look, there's a treasure chest, Oh look, there's a treasure chest, Oh look, there's a treasure chest, and so on, while claiming their brown coal Pilbara hope is being silenced by the Gov, even though other Co's are allowed to talk up their deals ???????????????? What the?

Good luck GAG holders IMO you have a bright future.

cheers
