Dear Sir,
RE: NEW CEPL DRILL RESULTS – BLOODWOOD CREEK UCG DEMONSTRATION SITE
Carbon Energy Pty Ltd (CEPL), a 50/50 Joint Venture between Metex Resources Ltd and the CSIRO, is pleased to report that its current drilling program at Bloodwood Creek has extended the coal resource potential by at least 2 km to the south of the JORC (2004) compliant Inferred Coal Resource of 45 million tonnes of high quality coal delineated in March 2007. The thickness of the coal seam has continued to average approximately 9m. The extent of this coal bed remains open down dip of the current drilling coverage (Figure 1).
A revised coal resource figure for the Bloodwood Creek site will be calculated at the completion of the current program. Results to date are as follows:
