ASX Announcement
Cuesta’s Flagship Moorlands Thermal Coal Project Resources expands to 318Mt
Proposed South Pit resource now in majority Measured and Indicated Resource Category
Detailed coal quality analysis has confirmed lateral consistency of coal quality
Additional coal quality data indicates more raw coal bypass than previously reported
Average 23m cumulative coal thickness of primary seams throughout the deposit
Maiden Coal Reserve Statement currently being finalised
Indicative Product Coal quality specification now finalised for Japanese, Chinese and Korean markets
26th February 2015: Cuesta Coal Limited (ASX: CQC) (“Cuesta” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce a resource increase at its flagship Moorlands Project with the total JORC resource increasing to 318Mt. Significantly, the Measured and Indicated JORC Resource categories have increased to 76% of the total estimated resource, and further supports the initial open cut mine plan at the proposed Moorlands South Pit.
The Moorlands Project is located 30kms NW of the township of Clermont in the Western Bowen Basin of Queensland and to the immediate west of the Blair Athol and Clermont coal mines.
Resource Upgrade Following completion of the 2014 exploration program at Moorlands, the geological data obtained has been compiled and loaded into the Company’s 3D geological model to ascertain the upgraded resource estimate (see Table 1 below). The Measured Resource combined with a substantial increase in Indicated Resource is a marked improvement in the geological confidence of the Moorlands Project. Cuesta anticipates improvement in the proposed south pit mine design due to the southerly sub‐crop extension of the coal resource, resulting in increased coal quantities and a widening of the proposed mining area.

2014 Exploration Program
The company completed a 67 drill hole infill exploration program during 2014 with 21 of these being cored holes (Figure 1).
5 holes were fully cored geotechnical holes to provide data for pit wall design for the Moorlands BFS.
2 large diameter 150mm cored holes were drilled to provide material for range of analysis including detailed particle sizing data to validate against the data gained from 100mm core.
The remaining 14 cored holes were all 100mm conventional core holes located within the proposed south pit area.
In total 1120m of coring was completed by Cuesta at Moorlands during the year. Full proximate and washability analysis has been completed, or is in the final stages of completion, for all core holes drilled in 2014.
Coal Reserve Statement and Definitive Feasibility Study Subsequent to the 2014 Exploration Activities, the company has updated its 3D Geological Model to develop a pending maiden reserves estimate and a comprehensive coal quality specification of its product coal from the Proposed South Pit.
A Maiden Coal Reserve Statement is currently underway by Cuesta’s technical team and it is anticipated to be completed for release to shareholders shortly. The geological data and the upcoming reserve calculation are key components to the Moorlands Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS). Activities in relation to the DFS have focussed on initial mine planning, coal processing and preliminary engineering of associated infrastructure. Following finalisation of the Maiden Coal Reserve Statement, mine planning and coal processing strategy will be further optimised to reduce operating and initial capital costs. The company looks forward to further updating the market on these activities in due course. Coal Quality
The company anticipates producing a 10.5% ash product for the Japanese market and a 12.5% ash product for the Chinese and Korean markets. The company believes the product will be attractive to power utility companies in these markets due to a combination of factors namely low ash content, moderate calorific value, attractive HGI levels and high ash fusion temperatures with good burn out characteristics. The company is pleased to confirm that the Moorlands Coal complies with the new requirements relating to energy and ash contents and also specific trace element levels for import restrictions into China. Proximate and Ultimate Analysis and Calorific Value
Table 2 below indicates the coal quality results relating to Proximate, Ultimate and Calorific Value of the
proposed South Pit at Moorlands. Overall there has been an increase in the energy level and a slight decrease in
the Sulfur content of the product coal.

Notes: * Volumes and tonnages have been rounded.* Coal tonnes stated are on an in situ basis using estimated default in situ moisture of 16% and the Preston Sanders
equation. * The project area is within EPC 1738, EPC 775 & EPC 776. * The target mineralisation is the Late Permian coal measures within the Moorlands Basin. * The coal is found in ten seam groups – Seams (B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, B10, B11, B12, B13). Resources have
been estimated only for the B3, B4, B5, B7, B8, B9, B11, B12 & B13 seam groups. * A minimum seam thickness of 0.3 metres and maximum raw ash cut‐off of 50% (adb) has been used. * A depth cut off of 250 metres has been used to limit resources. * A stratigraphic model generated in Minescape has been used. Gridded seam surfaces, base of tertiary and
weathering surfaces have been created on a 25 m by 25 m grid cell size. All seams are clipped to the base of weathering.
* As of the 26th February 2015, the Moorlands Project is estimated to contain a total Resource of 318 Mt, being
composed of 113.4 Mt of Measured, 128.4 Mt Indicated and 76.2 Mt Inferred. * The coal present is a sub‐bituminous coal with low‐moderate ash (adb), moderate specific energy (adb) and low to
moderate sulphur (adb). * Resource classification was developed from the confidence levels of key criteria including drilling methods, geological
understanding and interpretation, sampling, data density and location, grade estimation and quality. This classification was completed in accordance with the guidelines as set out in the JORC Code (2012).

Appendix 1 - JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1
This appendix details sections 1, 2 and 3 of the JORC Code 2012 Edition Table 1. Section 4 ‘Estimation and Reporting of Ore Reserves’ and Section 5 ‘Estimation and
Reporting of Diamonds and Other Gemstones’ have been excluded as they are not applicable to this deposit and estimation.
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple
(eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Coal testing undertaken by Cuesta Coal Limited (Cuesta Coal) was predominantly on 4C Core (100mm diameter).Core testing by Hannigan & Associates was undertaken on 4C Core (100mm diameter). 3 PQ diamond core holes were drilled for geotechnical data collection. 2 6C(150mm diameter) Core holes have been drilled to validate particle sizing in the 100mm holes.
All seams intersected in core holes greater than 20cm in thickness were sampled. Stone bands greater than 20cm thickness were sampled separately to the coal or were not sampled at all if the interval represented a split in the seam.
All core sample depths were recorded according to depths maintained by the rig geologist. These depths were determined by a combination of driller depths and the geologists own recorded depths according to core loss and gain.
All sampled core was double bagged and labelled on site. Samples were given unique sample numbers and documented in a sample summary sheet.
Coal quality core samples were prepared and analysed using Australian Standard testing procedures (AS4264.1).
Coal quality analysis was undertaken by Preplab Testing Services Pty Ltd, Bureau Veritas Pty Ltd and CCI Holdings Ltd.
Drilling techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
5 holes were fully cored using a PQ barrel and 2 were cored using the 6C (150mm diameter) barrel.
All other quality holes were cored using a 4C core barrel (100 mm diameter). All structural holes were fully chipped open holes using blade, hammer or PCD bits. A complete list of drill holes and drilling methods is contained in Appendix 2.
Drill sample recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
Each core hole was reviewed for core recovery based on measured recovered thicknesses and geophysical log thicknesses. The majority of holes contained a recovery of greater than 95%.
Cored holes with seam recoveries of 90 - 95% were still used as points of observation (with less weighting) providing the geophysics suggested it was reasonable to do so.
Cored seams with recoveries of less than 90% were not used a coal quality points of

Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.
All core holes were geologically logged, marked up and photographed before sampling. All geological and geotechnical observations were documented.
All open holes were geologically logged and photographed. Historical holes drilled by CRA Pty Ltd were geologically logged but not photographed. The majority of holes were geophysical logged with at least the following tools; caliper,
density gamma, temperature and verticality. A few of the historical holes (prior to 1980) were not logged along with a number of recent holes that had operational difficulties. A complete list of the geophysical tools run in each hole can be found in Appendix 2.
The geophysical logging company (Geolog Pty Ltd) maintained and correlated all tools as per their internal calibration procedures.
Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or
dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material
collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.
All core samples were taken as whole core samples (not halfed). Core samples were sampled dry, double bagged on site and transported to the
laboratory for testing. All the laboratories (Preplab Testing Services Pty Ltd, Bureau Veritas Pty Ltd and CCI
Holdings Ltd) used for coal quality analysis comply with Australian Standards for sample preparation and sub-sampling AS4264.1).
All core samples were crushed to a top size of 11.2 mm before analysis, which is common industry practice (AS4264.1) for 4 inch core (100mm diameter).
No duplicate or second half samples were taken.
Quality of assay data and laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.
All laboratories Preplab Testing Services Pty Ltd, Bureau Veritas Pty Ltd and CCI Holdings Ltd) used for the coal quality analysis comply with Australian Standards for all coal quality tests and are certified by the National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia (NATA).
The geophysical logging company (Geolog Pty Ltd) calibrated all geophysical tools using their standard internal calibration procedures.
Verification of sampling and assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes. Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols. Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
The coal quality results were verified in the coal quality database using minimum and maximum limits, standard quality tests and chart analysis. Anomalous values were reviewed and queried to the laboratory and either corrected or excluded from quality results.
Coal quality verification is also undertaken by the laboratory prior to providing the final results – standard industry checks are performed on the results to ensure they comply with known correlations and minimum and maximum values.
Coal quality data is supplied from the laboratory as a PDF and an Microsoft Excel file. The Microsoft Excel file is loaded directly into Minescape’s GDB database which

undertakes a set of validation checks (minimum and maximum values, proximate and ultimate analysis total checks) prior to allowing the data to be loaded.
Cuesta Coal have also reviewed and verified coal quality results internally using their own checking procedures.
Twinning of holes has occurred on one site with a 4C hole and 2 6C holes. This will allow for the direct correlation of particle sizing and washability data in 4C holes with the large diameter holes.
Location of data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used. Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
Professional survey was undertaken on all drill holes included in the geological model and resource estimate by Cottrell Cameron & Steen (prior to July 2013) and by Wilsons Survey Group (since July 2013).
The grid datum used is GDA 94 and projection MGA 94 Zone 55. Two topographic data sets have been used for the geological model;
i) The primary LIDAR data set is sourced from Cottrell Cameron & Steen and covers the main resource area. The data set is 5m, 1m 0.5m and 0.25m detail.
ii) The second data source is from SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) survey. The DEM data is sampled at 3 arc-seconds, which is 1/1200th of a degree of latitude and longitude, or about 90 metres (295 feet). The SRTM data is only used around the fringe of the project area to ensure the model area is completely covered by topography DEM data.
Data spacing and distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of
geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
Drill hole spacing is largely determined by the characteristics and consistency of the following seams (B4, B5, B7, B8, B9). The maximum drill hole spacing within the Measured resource area does not exceed 750 metres and generally ranges between 250-650 metres. The Indicated resource area has a maximum drill spacing of 1,200 metres and the Inferred resource area up to 3000 metres.
Orientation of data in relation to geological structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.
The orientation and spacing of the drilling grid is deemed to be suitable to detect geological structures and coal seam continuity within the resource area.
The dominant structural feature for the area is a narrow graben with north-south trending faults that bound the resource.
To delineate the exact location of these bounding faults, chip hole drilling has been used to infill the core hole drilling.
Where it is expected that a fault was intercepted in a hole and a suitable water level is available, an acoustic scanner log was taken to provide detail data on the fault intercept. Intercepts scanned in the recent drill program showed the faults to be dipping inwards towards the centre of the structure at a high angle.
It is recommended that Cuesta undertake a few seismic survey lines perpendicular to the structure to further define the location of these faults.

Coal. There are no other known impediments to mining in the area.
Exploration done by other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Deposit first discovered in the 1960’s when the Queensland Geological Survey observed Permian sediments during field mapping.
The Moorlands Basin and immediate surrounding areas were also previously explored by Utah under licence AP885M during part of their mineral exploration program in the early 1970s.
Pacific Coal Pty Ltd (now Rio Tinto) drilled a series of holes at two sites near the northern extremity of the basin in early 1979, both containing reasonable coal intersections.
Ladnote Pty Ltd also conducted exploration in the area under licence AP3409M from 1983 – 1985. A gravity survey consisting of several widely spaced traverse lines was conducted and successfully detected the initial boundaries of the Moorlands Basin.
The Queensland Department of mines further delineated the basin in during 1985 – 1986 when it drilled 15 fully-cored holes (2,208 metres in total). All holes were terminated in the pre-Permian basement and were geophysically logged (not all holes in coal bearing zone).
In 1995, a number of holes were drilled by CRA Exploration Pty Ltd (now Rio Tinto Exploration Pty Ltd) in the north of the basin under EPC 524, although the principal focus of the exploration was the Bendemeer Basin to the north.
The Bendemeer Basin which lies north of the Moorlands Basin was discovered by Pacific Coal via drilling programs between 1994 and 1995. Pacific Coal completed 15 rotary open holes and one part-cored hole in the Bendemeer Basin for an aggregate of 3,211 metres (EPC 524).
A subsequent exploration program in 1996 by CRA/Rio Tinto Exploration saw the completion of 37 holes including three cored holes for an aggregate 5123.9 metres on EPC 524.
Hannigan & Associates drilled 31 open holes and two partially cored 100mm quality holes in the Bendemeer Basin (EPCs 775 and 776) during 2012. Coal quality analysis was performed on the two partial cored quality holes.
All exploration programs have greatly aided the exploration activities of Cuesta Coal providing solid background data to base their exploration planning upon.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. The Moorlands Project is contained within the Bendemeer/Moorlands basin located to the west of the Bowen Basin.
Cuesta Coal has linked the Bendemeer and Moorlands Basins as one basin structurally bound in a half graben. The linked basins are now referred to as the Moorlands project by the company.
These basins are described as outliers of coal bearing Permian sediments to the Bowen Basin. They host a thermal low to moderate ash thermal coal containing low to

moderate sulphur. The basins are a typical synclinal structure containing coal bearing strata down from 40
– 400 metres. The stratigraphy within the project area is characterised by a Tertiary cover composed
of alluvial sediments and silcrete, underlain by claystones and lithic sandstones. The Mid to Late Permian aged Birimgan Formation unconformably underlies the Tertiary sediments. The Birimgan Formation consists of mostly fine to medium grained, labile to sub-labile sandstone with interbeds of mudstone, siltstone and up to 13 main coal seams. The Birimgan Formation unconformably overlies the Anakie Metamorphics which are comprised of phyllite, schist, quartzite and metabasic volcanics which form the basement of the Moorlands and Bendemeer basins.
The coal seams occur in 13 main groups in the Moorlands Project area, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, B10, B11, B12 & B13.
Only the B3, B4, B5, B7, B8, B9, B11, B12 & B13 seam groups have been considered in the Resource Estimate. These seam groups have an average cumulative thickness of 23 metres.
Drill hole Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: o easting and northing of the drill hole collar o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill
hole collar o dip and azimuth of the hole o down hole length and interception depth o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.
A listing of all drill holes used in the Resource Estimate is detailed in Appendix 2. All drillholes have been modelled with verticality data where available. Those drill holes
with no available verticality data have been modelled as vertical.
Data aggregation methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.
All coal quality information (raw and product) has been composited into a single quality value where originally multiple samples existed. The compositing was performed in Ventyx’s Minescape software (version 5.8) where each coal quality value was weighted by both in situ relative density and thickness (except in situ relative density which was only weighted by thickness).
Composited samples weight averaged overlapping samples for seams. No minimum sample thickness cut-offs were applied as all seams contained samples of greater than 95% recovery.
Relationship between mineralisation
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear
The Moorlands Project drill hole data demonstrates strong lateral continuity with holes being spaced generally 200 – 1000 metres apart.
The major seams used in the resource estimate contained consistent geophysical signatures and seam thickness tended to show limited variation.

Geological interpretation
Confidence in (or conversely, the uncertainty of ) the geological interpretation of the mineral deposit.
Nature of the data used and of any assumptions made. The effect, if any, of alternative interpretations on Mineral Resource estimation. The use of geology in guiding and controlling Mineral Resource estimation. The factors affecting continuity both of grade and geology.
The drill hole density in the Moorlands Project area allows a high level of confidence in the nature of the seam thickness and quality consistency and interpreted location of faults.
The seam thickness at Moorlands and coal quality analysis indicates a high constancy between holes in the north-south direction. Uncertainty increases in the in the east–west direction due to the location of the bounding faults. This affects certainty of the coal quantity in the region located near these faults. As a result, the measured resource category will not be used in the immediate vicinity of the bounding faults unless there is a quality or structural point of observation immediately nearby.
The 2014 Australian Guidelines for the Estimation and Classification of Coal Resources suggest that in structurally controlled resources such as this, structural points of observation can be of nearly the same importance as quality points of observation. In this report, structural points of observation are given a near quality point of observation status in the east- west direction, particularly when near faulting. They are given less importance in the north-south direction where the spatial distribution of quality points of observation primarily defined the confidence interval.
The bounding faults are interpreted to be either vertical or at a very high angle. This is due to some acoustic scanner data and closely spaced chip holes showing a near vertical-normal fault displacement.
Dimensions The extent and variability of the Mineral Resource expressed as length (along strike or otherwise), plan width, and depth below surface to the upper and lower limits of the Mineral Resource.
The main target Bendemeer Seams (B4, B5, B7, B8, B9) extend approximately 11 kilometres along strike and 350 metres - 1 km perpendicular to strike with an approximate average combined thickness of 23 metres.
The depth of cover to the B4 seam ranges from 60 metres in the north and south to 240 metres in the centre of the syncline.
The depth of cover to the B9 seam ranges from 25 metres in the north and south to 330 metres in the centre of the syncline.

Moisture Whether the tonnages are estimated on a dry basis or with natural moisture, and the method of determination of the moisture content.
Tonnages are estimated as in situ using the Preston Sanders in situ density estimation method using air dried moisture and air dried relative density laboratory values.
Based on results from coal quality testing an in situ moisture of 16% has been estimated.
Cut-off parameters
The basis of the adopted cut-off grade(s) or quality parameters applied. A raw ash cut off of 50% (air dried) has been applied to the deposit. In general the majority of the seams contain an air dried raw ash of less than 25%. The B4U seam was excluded from previous resource reports due to its high ash
content. Recorrleation of this seam led to the exclusion of the high ash roof in the south pit area. This seam is now included in the resource calculations and easily meets the ash cutoff.
The B3 seam is also included in this report despite being included in previous reports. The seam meets the maximum ash cutoff of 50% and is located stratigraphically above the higher value seams of the resource. It is therefore the opinion of the competent person that this seam can be considered resource.
Mining factors or assumptions
Assumptions made regarding possible mining methods, minimum mining dimensions and internal (or, if applicable, external) mining dilution. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential mining methods, but the assumptions made regarding mining methods and parameters when estimating Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the mining assumptions made.
A minimum seam thickness cut-off of 0.3 metres is used. It is deemed that this thickness cut-off is in line with current open cut mining minimum seam thickness limits.
A minimum separable thickness of 0.3m has been used for in seam partings. If the high ash parting is less than 0.3m thick, it is included in the seam to reflect the likely open cut mining method.
Metallurgical factors or assumptions
The basis for assumptions or predictions regarding metallurgical amenability. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential metallurgical methods, but the assumptions regarding metallurgical treatment processes and parameters made when reporting Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the metallurgical assumptions made.
Cuesta Coal has determined in conjunction with the testing laboratory Preplab Pty Ltd that an average raw ash thermal product of 13% is the target product. The majority of samples washed to date have easily achieved the 13% ash product (on average 10.4% ash product).
Coal quality analysis completed indicates that likely product is to be export thermal quality coal with an ash of 13% or less.

Bulk density Whether assumed or determined. If assumed, the basis for the assumptions. If determined, the method used, whether wet or dry, the frequency of the measurements, the nature, size and representativeness of the samples.
The bulk density for bulk material must have been measured by methods that adequately account for void spaces (vugs, porosity, etc), moisture and differences between rock and alteration zones within the deposit.
Discuss assumptions for bulk density estimates used in the evaluation process of the different materials.
In situ relative density estimation – the in situ relative density of the coal has been estimated using the Preston Sanders in situ relative density estimation equation.
Samples with raw ash (air dried basis) were assigned an in situ moisture of 16% based on knowledge of other deposits and the inherent and total moistures reported in the Moorlands Project.
Classification The basis for the classification of the Mineral Resources into varying confidence categories.
Whether appropriate account has been taken of all relevant factors (ie relative confidence in tonnage/grade estimations, reliability of input data, confidence in continuity of geology and metal values, quality, quantity and distribution of the data).
Whether the result appropriately reflects the Competent Person’s view of the deposit.
In total three resource categories have been identified in the Moorlands Project area dependent on the level of confidence in the seam structure and continuity plus the level of variability in the coal quality data.
The confidence interval distances are greatly reduced in the east- west direction when near the resource bounding faults. In the proximity of the faults, structural points of observation (PoB) are given the same importance as quality PoB.
In the north south direction, statistical confidence in the continuity of the critical parameters thickness, ash and energy is very high. In this direction the maximum distances from quality PoB are as follows: Measured – 750 m Indicated – 1500 m Inferred – 3000 m.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of Mineral Resource estimates. There have been no audits to date undertaken on the Resource Estimate.
Discussion of relative accuracy/ confidence
Where appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy and confidence level in the Mineral Resource estimate using an approach or procedure deemed appropriate by the Competent Person. For example, the application of statistical or geostatistical procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of the resource within stated confidence limits, or, if such an approach is not deemed appropriate, a qualitative discussion of the factors that could affect the relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate.
The statement should specify whether it relates to global or local estimates, and, if local, state the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant to technical and economic evaluation. Documentation should include assumptions made and the procedures used.
These statements of relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate should be compared with production data, where available.
Cuesta Coal have assigned three levels of confidence to the coal Resource Estimate depending on the seam and drill hole spacing as detailed in the previous section ‘ Resource Classification’.
Factors that could affect the accuracy of the resource estimate include unknown structures between completed drill holes, seam wash outs in roof or inseam stone bands thickening. No evidence currently exists at this point in time for these to occur. The increased drill spacing, including drilling in some areas where no drilling had occurred previously, has greatly reduced the risk of such structures that may have existed previously.
A 2D seismic study is planned by Cuesta Coal which should assist in providing further confidence in the structure of the deposit.
