INDIA'S GVK ACQUIRES HANCOCK COAL AND INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN AUSTRALIA
 COALspot.com - GVK group, India’s leading infrastructure developer, today confirmed arrangements for the acquisition of a strategic part of large, high quality coal resource and infrastructure development project in Queensland, Australia with an intent of furthering its strategic interests in the natural resources and energy sectors.
According to an E-Mail statement received by COALspot.com from the company, GVK Coal Developers (Singapore) Pte Limited (GVKCDPL), a step down subsidiary of GVK Natural Resources Pte Limited (GVKNRPL), (a GVK Group company) in joint venture with GVK Power and Infrastructure Limited (GVKPIL) has entered into various acquisition documents with Hancock Prospecting Pty Limited and certain of its affiliated entities (the Hancock Group) to acquire
► a shareholding up to 79% in the Alpha (‘Tad’s Corner’) and Alpha West (‘Paul’s Corner’) Coal Projects, located in the Galilee Basin in Queensland. Hancock Group retains the remainder of the shareholding;
►a 100% shareholding in the Kevin’s Corner Coal Project, located immediately adjacent to Alpha; and
► a 100% shareholding in the rail and port project connecting the above coal projects to the port of Abbot Point and Abbot Point T3 expansion project, whilst retaining some tonnage capacity for the Hancock Group
These projects are together one of the largest integrated coal development projects in the world. Some of the key highlights of the project are:
►The coal project consists of a 7.9 billion tonnes compliant with Australia’s Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) resource categorisation, with 3.3 billion tonnes reserves in Measured + Indicated categories and with potential for more tonnage ;
► The infrastructure project involves the development, ownership and operation of an integrated infrastructure development consisting of a 495 km rail line and a 60 million tonnes per annum port at Abbot Point.
► At full production the three coal projects are together expected to supply about 84 million tonnes per annum to the global sea-borne coal market. The first phase of production, expected to start in 2014, envisages a total production of over 30 million tonnes per annum of high quality thermal coal.
►The coal mines will deliver a very high quality thermal coal with a Gross Calorific Value (as received) of about 5800-6000 kcal/kg and low ash and low sulphur content.
► The total investment in the first phase is estimated at approximately US$ 10 billion. This includes capital expenditure on the mines, rail line and port.
► Most of the coal from the project is intended for delivery into the Asian region as Letters of Intent for approximately 45 million tonnes per annum have already been signed or are in the process of finalisation with major utility companies in China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam.
► It is envisaged that GVK Energy, a subsidiary of GVKPIL will enter into a long-term coal supply contract for up to 20 million tonnes per annum.
► This is the only project in the Galilee Basin with a rail declaration, port allocation, native title and cultural heritage agreements for the entire project and Hancock is the only developer as on date to have actually mined, processed and transported coal proving the robustness of the Bankable Feasibility Study assumptions and the projects coal quality via international markets agreeing to conduct commercial scale trial burns.
► The projects are undergoing environmental assessment under the Alpha Project's EIS - the Alpha Project was declared a 'significant project requiring an EIS' under the State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971. The final approval is expected by the end of the year.
The consideration for the acquisition is US$ 1.26 billion to be paid in a phased manner to the Hancock Group with US$ 500 million payable now at Closing. Of the balance amounts, US$ 200 million will be paid one year from Closing and US$ 560 million will be paid on financial close for the project (anticipated to be in 2012) but in any event, no later than 3 years from Closing.
The funding for the acquisition is tied up with banks. The financing documents for funding the acquisition are being executed with the banks and the transaction is expected to Close and assets transferred in about two weeks.
