esi cred checklist

With the comments that ESI are just a day trading stock without any firm prospects, below is a list of some of ESI’s partners whom have endorsed the Coldry tech.

Environmental Clean Technologies

Firstly, ESI make some massive claims, are they justifiable ????

“The unique, patented Coldry process is the world's first economic method of dewatering brown coal.”

“The Matmor process is positioned to revolutionise steel making, creating clean, low carbon steel in a single step. “

“ECT considers that Coldry is a revolutionary, economic, highly efficient and permanent process of
dewatering brown coal that will enhance low value mines, reduce emissions of brown coal fired power stations, provide a new export industry for Victoria, supplement world wide coal reserves and provide a real, cost effective, alternative to black coal.”

" Grant Thornton Corporate Finance has assessed the Enterprise Value of ECT between $82 million and $106 million having regard to the commercialisation of the Coldry technology only."

Feasibility Study Proves Up Scale Capabilities

“ is pleased to announce the successful completion of the feasibility study, undertaken with Arup (design)
and McConnell Dowell (capital cost estimates), for the construction of its 150,000 tonne per annum Coldry demonstration plant, that will comprise lignite dewatering and recovery of Class A water.
The demonstration plant design and cost……and these optimised parameters used for design of future plants.
Arup Principle, Mr Harry Watson said today “ It is technically feasible to up scale the process and our approach maximizes the benefit of the plant for the development of the Coldry process “

John Hearst, General Manager Mechanical of McConnell Dowell said it had worked very closely with Arup in the preparation of an accurate budget for this new and exciting project and saw this as an “ environmentally important project delivering a reduced carbon emission solution to the coal fired power station industry, as well as the dried coal export market while delivering new employment opportunities for Victoria “

Transfield

Ilthabi Bara Utama (IBU)

11 March 2009

“IBU controls over 3.3 billion tonnes of JORC (Joint Ore Reserves Committee) resources, which is expected to double upon further exploration, and has closed a US$135 million privately-arranged equity-linked note financing facility for mine development. The mine is currently producing up to 2m t.p.a. and plans to ramp up production to 10 to 15m t.p.a. over the next 24 months.

“IBU can provide sufficient coal supply to meet current and future coal requirements for a >10M t.p.a Coldry production plant. The opportunity to access such a large resource in Indonesia will provide the Coldry plant with a key footprint into the South East Asian Market where there are a large number of coal fired power stations and consequently a huge market for the final product.

IBU’s Trevor Butcher said he was excited about ECT’s Coldry technology and looked forward to a future together. IBU sees the opportunity to enter into an agreement to utilise a cleaner coal technology important in its development as a company with the goal to develop technology to make coal mining cleaner for the environment than it has been in the past.
“It is IBU’s intention to enter into a joint venture partnership with ECT to construct a Coldry plant in
East Kalimantan and to provide enough coal at an agreed price for at least a 10M t.p.a plant,”

29 April 2009

“coal samples from Ilthabi Bara Utama (IBU) coal mine in East Kalimantan have responded successfully to Coldry testing….. ECT and IBU are in discussions over a Heads of Agreement (HOA) to build the plant, based on the outcome of an acceptable joint business model. “

Fiori

Thanks to Fiori ( financier of last resort ) and a couple of others, some of us true believers who supported ESI in its darkest hour were able to clean up in the SPP, underwriting and shortfall.

So, in summery :

Now with the IP, ESI will get insto/broker/govt support.

Its clear that ESI is not some mickey mouse outfit wandering around Africa hoping a deal comes their way. Real global partners with real free carried deals with virtually zero sovereign risk. Check the dates on the above announcements. ESI are moving at lighting speed.

Management need to continue to seize the opportunity.

Does it get any better ?
