Prophecy Completes Transportation Study on its Ulaan Ovoo Coal Project and Tenders for Trucking Contracts from Mine Site to Railroad Offload
Prophecy Resource Corp. (TSX-V:PCY, OTC: PRPCF, Frankfurt: 1P2) reports that it has received an independent transportation Study for trucking of coal from its proposed Ulaan Ovoo mining operations to Mongolia’s Sukhbaatar Railroad Station (Trans-Mongolian Railway) to fulfill secured capacity to transport a minimum of 1.5 million tonnes of coal annually to Russia and/or China
The Sukhbaatar Station borders Russia and is located 120km (75 miles) by road east of Prophecy’s 208.8 million tonne (174.5 Measured, 34.3 Indicated) Ulaan Ovoo coal project. Coal produced at the proposed Ulaan Ovoo mining operations will be hauled by trucks from Ulaan Ovoo mine site via public road to the Sukhbaatar Railroad station. The coal will then be transported to the eastern seaboard port of Vladivostock via Trans-Siberian Railway. Vladivostock is a leading coal port to the world’s largest coal importing nations, Japan South Korea and Taiwan. Coal prices comparable to Ulaan Ovoo’s quality have been exceeding US$ 85 per tonne at Vladivostock.
The independent transportation study was prepared by RandTip of South Africa. RandTip specializes in the short and long distance hauling of coal for clients such as X-Strata, Amcoal and Eskom(SA).
RandTip and representatives from Mercedes Benz of Germany visited Ulaan Ovoo in May of this year and produced a cost study taking into consideration the condition of the haul road, its ongoing maintenance requirements, equipment selection, and the travelling speed at which payload can be safely carried.
Based on a 50,000 tonne per month throughput (600,000 tonnes a year), the optimal cost per tonne is estimated to be $11.91/t based on 17 haul trucks with 60 tonne pay load and 2 cycles per day.
Based on a 175,000 tonne per month throughput (2,100,000 tonnes per year), the optimal cost per tonne is estimated to be $10.65/t based on 58 haul trucks with 60 tonne pay load and 2 cycles per day.
The cost per tonne estimates include truck leasing, driver, maintenance, fuel, and G&A. Mercedes Benz have confirmed the leasing availability of a truck fleet for Prophecy with 10 week lead time.
The entire cost table based on various throughput, truckload, and cycles can be accessed at www.prophecyresource.com.
Prophecy has thus completed its mining and transportation cost model, which is being incorporated into a prefeasibility being prepared by Wardrop Engineering Inc, wholly owned by Tetra Teck Inc (NASDAQ: TTEK) to be released in early July of this year. Prophecy is currently engaged in multi party discussion on securing Ulaan Ovoo coal off-take agreements.
