The FY 2022 Annual Report was released yesterday ...
Chairman's Letter Shareholders
Just a few snippets from the report:
We have been fortunate to have engaged with a major partner in Indonesia in Aahana Mineral Resources SDN BHD
(AMR) and International Commodity Trade PTE LTD (ICT) who have bought not only funding to this project but also the
ability to recruit an experienced team that has the capability to deliver our project to production. Shareholders will be
aware that the premium quality of the coal in the BBM project has never been in doubt. The issue has always been
developing the logistics chain to evacuate the coal to market. The financing and execution of the logistics infrastructure
have been the Company’s main challenge. Your Board is pleased to report that these milestones have now been
achieved and we will see constant coal production and sales eventuate, transforming the Company into a successful
coking coal producer and a key player in the metallurgical coal mining industry in Indonesia and the region.
This will transform the company to a successful coking coal producer and a key player in the metallurgical coal mining
industry in Indonesia and the region. The resultant revaluation of the company is accordingly already underway.
Indonesian Coal Assets
Just a few snippets from the Review of Operations:
Cokal holds shares in the following Indonesian coal assets in Central Kalimantan, each with known resources of metallurgical coal:
• 60% of the Bumi Barito Mineral (BBM) project located in Central Province, Kalimantan, Indonesia. The BBM tenement area is 14,980ha;
• 75% of PT Tambang Benua Alam Raya (TBAR) which owns an exploration tenement covering an area of approximately 18,850ha in Central Province, Kalimantan, Indonesia. This tenement is located adjacent to and southeast of the BBM project;
• 60% of the Borneo Bara Prima (BBP) project located in Central Province, Kalimantan, Indonesia. The BBP tenement area is approximately 13,050ha; and
• 75% of the Anugerah Alam Katingan (AAK) project. This project is also located in Central Province, Kalimantan, Indonesia and has an area of approximately 5,000ha. AAK is currently on ‘on-hold’ status by Provincial Police Department (Polda Kalteng). The Police have investigated a dispute over the ownership of AAK pre-dating Cokal’s interest in the Project. Cokal is an aggrieved party and will await the outcome of the Police investigation.

A good announcement released today ...
Cokal Acquires Fleet of Barges & Tugboats for Coal Transport, Representing a Critical Piece of Infrastructure in the Logistics Chain, and a New Profit Centre
Key Highlights
▪ Cokal has acquired a fleet of conventional shallow draft barges and tugboats for transport of coal from mine mouth Krajan Jetty to Batu Tuhup Jetty
▪ Provides guaranteed capacity and availability for transport of coal from the BBM and TBAR mines, at competitive market-based pricing
▪ The barging infrastructure represents a new independent profit centre for Cokal
▪ Future planned expansion of the existing fleet and addition of large capacity barges, tugboats and self-propelled barges to transport coal from Batu Tuhup Jetty to the planned Intermediate Stockpile in Buntok area
Transcript
Cokal Limited (Cokal) (ASX: CKA) is pleased announce that it is has taken an important step to secure capacity for coal transport via the acquisition of a fleet of coal barges.
PT Barito Samudera Nusantara (PT BSN), a newly incorporated company established for the purpose of acquiring the barges and tugboats, has been used to effect the acquisition. Cokal is the 100% shareholder of PT BSN. Total cost of the first-stage of barge acquisitions is estimated at up to US$1.5m, (includes estimates of refurbishment costs and working capital).
PT BSN will operate as the exclusive logistics support provider for the Bumi Barito Mineral (BBM) (Cokal 60%) and TBAR (Cokal 75%) coal mines. PT BSN will provide competitive transport costs to BBM and TBAR, in-line with market pricing. In addition, Cokal will realise the benefit of 100% of the operating profits from PT BSN
Key Operational Details
- Barges will be used for transportation of coal from mine mouth Krajan Jetty to Batu Tuhup permanent jetty.
- Provides guaranteed capacity and availability of conventional shallow draft barges (min. operating depth 2.5m with full load) for coal transport, without any dependence on external service providers.
- Fleet expansion planned by adding additional barges and tugs to increase coal transportation capacity from Krajan jetty to Batu Tuhup jetty.
- PT BSN will also seek to expand its operations to operate large capacity barges (200ft - 230ft) to be able to transport coal from the Batu Tuhup Jetty to the Intermediate Stockpile (ISP).
- This expansion will ensure uninterrupted coal transport capacity at competitive pricing.
- This will also allow continuous usage of Krajan jetty to transport coal, alongside the road haulage route, from Pit 3 to Batu Tuhup jetty. This combined capability will enable BBM to manage its logistics flow more efficiently and sustainably.
