2018 PEA Highlights (Open Pit and Underground Mine)
■ The Huguenot Project has an indicative after-tax (and royalty) net
present value (NPV) of US$1,166 million (CAD$1,516 million) using a
7.5% discount rate, and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 33%, based
on a coking coal price of US$172.0 per tonne.
The Huguenot PEA is based on conceptual open pit and underground
mine plans that target 122.3 million run-of-mine (ROM) tonnes of
resource, with a yield of 73%, producing 89.3 million tonnes of clean
coal over a mine life of 31 years.

■ The conceptual open pit mine plan targets 56 million ROM tonnes at an average stripping ratio of 8.6:1 (bank cubic metres :ROM
tonnes) while the conceptual underground mine plan targets an additional 66 million ROM tonnes.
■ The open pit operates during Years 1 - 14 while the underground mine would operate during Years 3 - 31, with both the open pit and
underground mine operating simultaneously during Years 3 - 14.
■ Measured and Indicated coal resources total 277.7 million tonnes (132.0 million tonnes surface plus 145.7 million tonnes
underground).
■ Inferred resources total an additional 119.2 million tonnes (0.5 million tonnes of surface plus 118.7 million tonnes underground).
In full mine operation, projected clean coal production from the combined surface and underground mining operations ranges from 1.4
to 5.9 Mtpa, and averages approximately 3.0 Mtpa.
The pre-production capital cost for the proposed surface and underground mine is estimated at US$661 million (CAD$859 million), with
additional sustaining capital of US$178 million (CAD$231 million) over the life-of-mine (LOM).
■ The proposed payback of initial capital is estimated within 5 years from start-up of operations.
■ The Huguenot Project's total cash operating cost is estimated at US$106.96 (CAD$139.05) per clean coal tonne.
■ This includes direct mine site costs of US$67.20 per tonne, offsite costs (transportation and port charges) of US$28.30 per tonne and
indirect costs of US$11.46 per tonne.
