COMPANY PRESENTATION
Bandanna Energy Limited (Bandanna – ASX code “BND”) provides its Company power point presentation to be delivered today at the UBS Australian Coal & Iron Ore Seminar in Sydney. Key Features of the Presentation are:
• Focused on 4 Mtpa thermal coal source mine stage 1 development in Bowen Basin following rail-port supply chain solution.
• Rail access agreement in place for Blackwater corridor following signing with QRN in
September 2011.
• 4 Mtpa port allocation at Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal – Stage 1, following financial close and go-ahead to commence construction of Stage 1 Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal in October 2011 in which BND holds 14%.
• $135 million cash at bank at 30 October 2011 provides full funding to complete Bankable
Feasibility studies on key projects as part of program for production commencing in 2013 and 2014 and secure bank guarantees for rail and port infrastructure. BFS’ to be completed by August-September 2012.
• Expanding staff and office space to facilitate corporate growth during this development phase.
• Currently negotiating a “big 4” bank to undertake advisory and arranger roles for project
finance, which will be based on a combination of likely joint venture participation (given BND currently holds 100% in key source mines) and project finance.
• Large thermal coal inventory,>1,500 million tonnes, and the only ASX company with
significant mine development plans in both the Galilee and Bowen Basins Yours Faithfully Bandanna Energy Limited
