On 13 January 2011, the New Zealand Police wrote to the Receivers – John Fisk, David Bridgman and Malcolm Hollis, partners from PricewaterhouseCoopers - requesting Pike River Coal Limited (PRC)’s plans with regard to the mine following cessation of the recovery operation. Accordingly, the Receivers have today written to the New Zealand Police setting out a proposed Mine Stabilisation Plan. If the mine is able to be stabilised, considerable additional analysis will be required to determine future plans, including whether it is able to be entered or further developed. The Plan is directed at establishing a stable state within the mine atmosphere. It does not allow for recovery of the deceased miners or guarantee the future of the mine. The receivers agree with the Police that, based on the extensive work undertaken to date, it appears that a recovery of the deceased miners is very unlikely. Key points in the Plan are: Over the next five to eight weeks work will continue to achieve a sustainable inert atmosphere in the mine, with no evidence of underground heat sources that pose risk of further explosion. This work will be funded by PRC and will be undertaken under the Company’s control. The Receivers also note that there are a number of other matters that need to be discussed before the Company can resume full control of the mine. The aim of the plan is to achieve managed stability of the mine. If expert advice obtained in the course of implementing the plan indicates that this is not achievable then alternative options will need to be developed. Na das kann ja noch dauern bis alles wieder normal läuft. Wenn sie erst in 5-8 Wochen einen Teil der Miene versuchen zu betreten- :(

This update from Pike River Coal Limited (NZE:PRC) (PINK:PKRRF) further addresses information that the Company has provided to various parties. It is provided for the purpose of bringing those matters together for more general release by the Company, including via the market release platforms of NZX and ASX. The Company will continue to provide such summary releases until the recovery operation is completed and control of the mine site is released from the Police and other agencies back to the control of the Company.

As of 7pm Monday evening, the fire which followed the fourth explosion continues. The plan remains to use the GAG machine to inject inert gas into the mine to put the fire out and enable access into the mine. Deployment may occur this evening.

Royal Commission of Inquiry

Pike River Coal has already advised that it will cooperate fully with all inquiries that are under way into the disaster at its mine and this extends to the Royal Commission of Inquiry that was announced by the Prime Minister today.

Mr Dow said, “We welcome whatever inquiries are needed to find the cause of the explosion and also what is required to ensure the safe operation of our mine in the future.”

“The Commission’s draft terms of reference include consideration of a wider range of issues relevant to our industry and it is the appropriate place to do that. Pike will also assist the Commission with these issues.”

“We are committed to determining if our mine can reopen. Whether that requires an answer to all of the matters the Royal Commission will address is unknown at this time. The other enquiries by the Police, the Department of Labour and the Coroner are focussed on Pike and they may give us the information that we need. It’s speculation now to say anymore.”

Current Activities

Pike employees who can assist are focussed on the recovery operation.

“We also have some of the team looking at the potential impact of this situation on the business. Support from our suppliers and others at this time is appreciated”, Mr Dow noted.,

“I am pleased to announce that over the weekend we negotiated, and today completed, an agreement with Solid Energy under which it will purchase our coal stockpiles. This amounts to approximately 20,000 tonnes which would, of itself, not have met our own future shipping arrangements. The terms of this sale will see Pike receive full net market value for this hard coking coal once on-sold to an end-user customer.”

Mr Dow said, “This action by Solid Energy is just another aspect of the extraordinary support that Pike River has had from the management and staff of Solid Energy. They have stood with us from the outset of this tragedy, providing significant support for the rescue and recovery effort.”

More Information

Pike will make further announcements as the state of its underground assets becomes known.

About Pike River Coal Limited:

Pike River Coal Limited (NZE:PRC) continues to make good progress in the development of its underground premium hard coking coal mine, located 50 kilometres north east of Greymouth on the South Island’s West Coast. Under Pike River’s mine plan 17.6 million tonnes of high quality, low ash coking coal will be produced over the mine life for use in the steel making industry, particularly in Asia and the sub-continent. Pike River’s hard coking coal will be used by coke and steel makers and will be an important component in the coke making blend due to its low ash, low phosphorous and high fluidity.
