Benga Thermal Coal Quality

Based on the drilling undertaken by Riversdale the total Coal Resource in the Benga licence is estimated to be 1.94 billion tonnes categorised as Inferred Resources in accordance with the JORC Code 2004. Of this, 1.07 billion tonnes is less than 300 m deep and likely to be amenable to open cut mining.
A total of 20 seams have been identified and correlated over the licence area. Fourteen of these seams, identified as A (lowest) to N (highest), have been included in this assessment. The other seams have inadequate intersections to be included in a JORC compliant report at this stage.
