STA ticks off another big checklist this morning :)

Strandline appoints Contract Power as preferred contractor to build, own & operate a 32MW hybrid gas and renewable energy solution for the Coburn mineral sands project in WA
• The proposed power solution enables Strandline to capture energy supply cost savings relative to the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) published in June 2020
• Innovative low-cost, low-emission solution integrating gas-fuelled power generation with solar renewable energy & battery storage technology
• The parties have now commenced preparation of final contract documentation to the satisfaction of Strandline & Coburn’s lender group
• The scope represents a major development package & is one of Strandline’s conditions precedent to finalise project funding

Strandline continues to make strong progress towards definitive finance documentation and conditions precedent for the NAIF A$150 million loan facility1 and is advancing discussions to secure a commercial debt tranche expected to stand alongside the NAIF funding (anticipated by Dec '20).
 
yet another great STA announcement (keep 'em coming)
• Strandline appoints Woodside-EDL joint venture (WEJV) as preferred contractor to supply trucked LNG for power generation to the Coburn mineral sands project in WA
• The proposed LNG supply contract enables Strandline to source power at less than forecast in the Definitive Feasibility Study published in June 2020
• Coburn’s power solution is based on a low-cost, low-emission solution integrating gas-fuelled power generation with renewable energy and battery technology (provided by third parties)
• Strandline has commenced preparing final contract documentation subject to the satisfaction of Coburn’s lender group and agreement between the parties
• The appointment of the WEJV means Strandline has progressed another condition precedent to finalising project funding

Strandline Managing Director Luke Graham said the appointment establishes an important long-term relationship with two industry leaders in the energy sector, in Woodside and EDL.

“The Company continues to move rapidly towards development of Coburn and these key contract appointments to well-credentialed suppliers provide delivery certainty.”
 
Coburn's purpose-designed power infrastructure is based on low-cost, low-emission solution integrating natural gas fuelled generation with state-of-the-art solar and battery storage technology.

The proposed power solution enables Strandline to capture energy supply cost savings relative to the June 2020 definitive feasibility study.

The power station is designed suitable for a maximum demand capacity of 16 megawatts and average consumed power of about 10MW.

A joint venture between Woodside Energy (and EDL LNG Fuel to Power has been appointed as preferred contractor to supply LNG to the power station via road train from Woodside's Pluto LNG facility near Karratha.

The proposed LNG supply contract is over a 10-year term (with appropriate pricing review and adjustment mechanisms) and also enables Strandline to capture energy supply cost savings relative to the DFS.

"The company continues to move rapidly towards development of Coburn and these key contract appointments to well-credentialed suppliers provide delivery certainty," Strandline managing director Luke Graham said.

Strandline will now work on finalising documentation with the suppliers.

The company recently raised A$18.5M @ 0.215c to advance early works at Coburn.

The Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility is progressing due diligence for a $150 million loan.

Coburn has capital costs of $260 million and a payback period of just 2.1 years.

The project has a pre-tax net present value of $705 million (at an 8% discount rate), and an internal rate of return of 37%.

EBITDA over the initial 22.5-year mine life is expected to be $2.3 Billion, or $104M per year.

@Telamelo - after excellent commentaries why you stopped in Nov :)
STA is going good with a gong IMO (in my opinion). Zero DEBT. Compared to SFX was stopped due to fund until wake up recently. So will be STA soon.
