Cline Mining leases coal storage area for New Elk Mine
Cline Mining Corp (TSE: CMK) announced Tuesday that it has entered into a long-term lease agreement for 18 acres of land that will serve as a coal storage area for the company's New Elk coal mine in southern Colorado.
The agreement was made with the Port of Corpus Christi Authority of Texas. The 18 acres of land is located adjacent to the shipping channel and near the bulk coal ship-loader, providing Cline Mining with immediate access to seaborne export coal markets for the sale of New Elk metallurgical coal.
The property lease is for an initial five year term, with the option for the company to extend the lease for five additional periods of five years.
The facility is capable of supporting a throughput of up to 2 million tons of metallurgical coal per year, and additional storage area is available to the company at the Port to accommodate future mine production, Cline said.
Cline's New Elk coalmine recently began mine production of high-vol metallurgical coal, with output slated to reach a rate of 3 million tons per year by the end of 2011.
Overall production in 2011 is projected to reach approximately one million tons of coal, with output expected to ramp up exponentially throughout the year.
New Elk has a mineral resource estimate of 315 million tons of coal in-place.
Cline has metallurgical coal property interests in British Columbia and in Colorado, U.S.A. It also has iron ore interests in Madagascar and owns the Cline Lake Gold Mine in northern Ontario, Canada.
