By this acquisition, LITL gets ownership of total resources of 1.1 billion tones and
recoverable reserves of 310 million tonnes. Current production at the mine is 4.5
million tonnes p.a (mtpa), out of which Griffin Coal is committed to supply around 3
mtpa to local market (around 2 mtpa to group’s power plant and balance to
other local entities) at AUD 40 per tonne. LITL plans a capex of AUD 900 million,
which will increase the output to 15 – 16 mtpa by CY2020. The initial target would
be to increase the production to the level of 7.75 mtpa by the end of CY2014. This
capex will also include the company’s intentions to develop facilities at the
relatively closer Bunbury port, which is just at the distance of 85 Kms from the mines.
This acquisition will have a debt equity mix of 70:30 and the amount will be paid in
3 installments i.e. one upfront payment and balance two in coming 4 years. LITL
has not taken over the debt in the books of Griffin Coal.
