Organisers

Coaltrans Conferencesorganises the world’s

largest coal conferences,which attract delegates

from all over the world. Italso runs focused regionalevents, exhibitions, field

trips and training courses.It has a reputation foremploying the highest

organisational standards. In 2003, Coaltrans will run

and organise events inAustria, China, Indonesia,

USA and the UK

Bob King & Associates a group of over 15

independent companieswho are among the

market leaders in theirrespective fields within theIndonesian and Asian coal

industries. Based inIndonesia and specialising

in all aspects of coal,including survey,

exploration, geologicalmodeling, mine planning,due diligence evaluations,

innovative new miningmethods to reduce costs,

infrastructure design,contract mining and

barging, safety and theenvironment, coal market

analyses, industryintroductions, insurance,

finance and legal.

COURSE

The primary objective of thisintensive residential course is toprovide participants with a soundbackground and understanding ofall the main aspects of mining andcosts. The knowledge gained willallow participants to be moreeffective in their own businessenvironment and provide themwith an understanding of miningoperations.

Delegates will not be limited to thecoal industry, as the principles andcourse syllabus will also beapplicable for personnel from othermining sector operations.

COURSE LOCATION

It is important for delegates toreinforce their learning by visitingan operating mine. Therefore thisevent is being held in Balikpapan,Kalimantan, Indonesia, animportant coal producing region.There will be a strong emphasis inthe course on ‘best miningpractices’ applied not only inIndonesia but throughout the world.

DELEGATES WILL LEARN:

� A technical understanding andappreciation of all the mainstages in mining, from survey toexploration, geologicalmodeling, geotechnical issues,mine planning, drill andblasting, material handlingsystems, mobile miningequipment types andapplications, processing, miningcontractor operations, mineservices, the economics ofmining, environmental andrehabilitation works.

� An appreciation of the costsinvolved in the mining process.Skills learnt can be quicklyapplied in practical operationsto give cost-effective andprofitable results.

� How to provide ‘hands-on’learning to resolve miningissues and problems through aseries of specially designed casestudies.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

� Executives who are new to themining industry, or who interactor interface in some way withmining but have a limitedknowledge in this field. Whiletechnical in nature, the courseis not mathematical norcomplex and should be wellwithin the grasp of delegates.This course requires a high levelof commitment over five daysby way of individual learningand group contribution.

� Mine site staff including juniorgeologists and miningengineers, mine foreman,maintenance and supportpersonnel, surveyors.

� Non-technical staff, mineadministration, accountants,senior executives or head officestaff.

� Bankers, mining analysts, andlegal executives.

� Shipping and transportcompanies, inspectioncompanies, port and terminaloperators.

� Coal buyers, traders, endconsumers such as power utility,steel and cement companyexecutives.

� Any service company to themining industry or equipmentsuppliers.

NG TRAINING COURSE AGENDA

ur website on www.coaltransconferences.com

Delegates will have the opportunity to visit either PT Kaltim Prima Coal(KPC), or, PT Adaro Indonesia (Adaro), on Day 3, Wednesday 6 August2003. Delegates should indicate their preference when registering for thecourse as to which mine site they prefer to visit. For logistical reasons,mine site visits will be limited to a certain number of visitors, anddelegates may not be able to visit the mine of their first choice.

Please register your choice of visit on the delegate registration form on page 6.

PT Adaro Indonesia Adaro is Indonesia’s largest coal producer with sales in

2002 of 21.2MT. Delegates will view mining operations at the Tutupan pitwith multiple coal seams of 20 meters in thickness, travel down the 75kmhaul road and view operations at the Kelanis processing and barge-loading facility, which has a throughput capacity of 22MT per year.

PT Kaltim Prima Coal The operation includes a series of open cut pits, coalpreparation facilities, 13km overland conveyor to the

coast and a world class marine terminal capable of handling bulk

carriers of up to 220,000 DWT. The remote location necessitates fullsupporting infrastructure, including a power station, housing, schools,hospitals, water supply and recreational facilities.

Production reached 17.7MT in 2002 and isforecast to be 18.2 MT in 2003 by moving148M bank cubic metres of overburden.KPC produces three coal brands -Prima, Pinang and Melawan - andis now Indonesia's andone of theworld'slargestexportcoalmines.
