SULTAN MINING SIGNS P8-BILLION, 10-YEAR COAL-SUPPLY CONTRACT WITH KEPCO POWER CORP.
 COAL developer Sultan Mining and Energy Development Corp. (SMEDC) reported on Thursday that its subsidiary MG Mining and Energy Corp. signed an P8-billion supply contract with Kepco-SPC Power Corp. (KSPC).
Under the contract, MG Mining will deliver 320,000 tons of coal to KSPC’s 200-megawatt base-load power plant in Naga, Cebu, once it begins commercial operations sometime next year.
“We are very pleased to have signed this contract as a Filipino corporation, since this will help in easing the country’s dependence on imported energy sources, as well as help in conserving foreign-currency reserves,” Rufino Bomasang, SMEDC vice chairman and senior adviser, said.
He added that the agreement with KSPC is in line with the government’s thrust of promoting energy independence.
Michael Morales, SMEDC vice president for marketing, said KSPC has approved the quality of the coal after having met their specification.
Morales added that the contract is based on the delivery of coal with a burning quality of 4,300 kilocalories per kilo upon delivery.
However, he noted that MG Mining’s coal actually has higher calorific value than the KSPC requirement in the contract, as reflected in its ongoing coal deliveries to its existing customers since 2007.
MG Mining will initially be sourcing the coal from its mine in Bislig, Surigao del Sur, but also plans to offer, for KSPC’s approval, coal from the much-bigger Daguma coal reserves in Sultan Kudarat and South Cotabato once the mine there comes into full production next year.
With the specifications of coal required by the supply contract to KSPC, Morales said MG Mining is confident that even the Daguma coal will meet the requirement.
Bomasang said the Department of Energy has already granted the approval for the development and production of coal in the Daguma deposit.
Independent validation of the coal reserves indicates that the Bislig mine contains about 62 million tons of coal resources and about 30 million metric tons (MT) of minable reserves, while the company reported that Daguma has already blocked coal resources of 426 million tons.
Initial exploration and drilling have also blocked 55 million metric tons of minable reserves in 526 hectares of the 7,000-hectare coal property.
MG Mining said it expects to identify more minable reserves as it does more detailed work in the rest of the Daguma deposit.
The KSPC contract, according to MG Mining, only requires between 3.2 million MT to 6.4 million MT of minable reserve to complete the coal deliveries, over the 10-year period.
Morales said planning, preparation and development of the mines for the supply of coal to KSPC will begin this month, noting that this will entail additional investments to boost production. In 2008 the Bislig run-of-mine production rose to 200,000 tons of coal.
SMEDC said it still intends to pursue its shelved plans to undertake an initial public offering when market conditions have improved and its supply contract with KSPC will ensure that the public will then be looking at a company with a more solid revenue stream.
“The company will continue to update its registration and information statements with regulators to include positive developments such as this one, in preparation for its eventual public listing,” SMEDC said.
