COAL BUSINESS MODEL

Indochina Energy is building a coal supply chain business primarily around coal terminal operations in Indonesia. The Company is securing supply from small and medium-sized coal mines both through long term off-take agreements and through equity investments in mines and mining contractors. Coal of different qualities and specifications will be brought to the Company’s coal terminals for aggregation, blending and export.

Indochina Energy will seek to add value by developing a strong marketing team with a high profile brand. The Company will generate blending premiums, tailor products to customer requirements and command higher prices through greater bargaining power with big power and steel customers. The Company will also seek to generate synergies and value through vertical supply chain integration and via best practice governance, human resources management and community relations

Coal market

Coal-fired power will continue as the dominant form of new power construction in Asia for at least two or three decades to come with strong economic and security advantages over other alternatives. The thermal coal import requirements of southern China, eastern India, southern Vietnam and other coastal areas in South East Asia are all forecast to increase substantially over the next ten to twenty years.

As coal demand increases, new terminals and logistics routes will be needed in new areas of coal supply such as southern Sumatra and central Kalimantan – generating further potential opportunities for companies like Indochina Energy at the upstream and midstream end of the supply chains.
