BANPU KEEPS JORONG OUTPUT AT 2M TONNES
 Bangkok Post reported that, Banpu Plc, Asean's largest coal miner, is maintaining an output target of 2 million tonnes this year from its Jorong mine in Indonesia, even though the site remains closed pending the resolution of questions about forest encroachment.
CEO Chanin Vongkusolkit said the company expected the Indonesian government would finalise new forestry regulations soon, with clearer designations of which areas are preserved forest areas.
Indonesian police closed Jorong and several other industrial sites last month as part of a crackdown on forest encroachment.
Mr Chanin acknowledged there had been "misunderstanding and unclear regulations" about forestry areas in Indonesia. "However, I have heard the new regulations are just awaiting signing by the president to take effect," he said.
The new regulation would specify the mine site as a commercially permitted area.

“Total coal output this year is forecast at 26.5 mln tonnes, up from 23.8 mln last year. Coal prices are expected to average between $65 and $71 per tonne this year, compared with $71.70 last year”

The company last year produced 3.1 million tonnes of coal from Jorong, but output will decline in line with depleting coal reserves and the mine will close in six years.
"However, it has been good for us since it was time that the local government clarified the regulations properly, so we [coal miners] would know if our mines are in commercially allowed forest areas or prohibited ones," he said.
The company has dealt with the immediate crisis by increasing output from mines nearby as it needs more coal to deliver to Jorong clients under its contracts.
Banpu's coal output from Indonesia is expected to rise 7.4% to 23 million tonnes from 21.4 million last year.
The company has earmarked regional capital expenditure for 2010 to 2015 of US$466 million, including $189 million in Indonesia. It will invest $255 million in the Hong Sa coal mine and coal-fired power plant in Laos, and $22 million in its coal mines in China.
"The sum does not include the capital needed for merger and acquisition plans, for which we are still looking at China and Australia," Mr Chanin said.
However, the company is no longer interested in India where it says local regulations on coal mining are too strict.
By 2015 Banpu expects coal will contribute 90% of its revenue, up from 75% currently, and the remaining 10% would come from power.
Banpu forecasts sales this year will be on par with last year, reflecting a decline in global coal prices, baht appreciation and the drop of revenue from its BLCP power plant in Thailand, despite a 10% increase in coal output this year.
Total coal output this year is forecast at 26.5 million tonnes, up from 23.8 million last year.
Coal prices are expected to average between $65 and $71 per tonne this year, compared with $71.70 last year.
Banpu's net profit last year rose to 14.2 billion baht from 9.2 billion in 2008, with many of the gains coming from China, which contributed profits of 4 billion baht.
BANPU shares closed yesterday on the Stock Exchange of Thailand at 586 baht, up 20 baht, in trade worth 1.59 billion baht.
