("Polo" or "the Company")
Exploration planned for the 2009 Mongolian field season
Polo Resources (PRL), the AIM listed mining company with coal and uranium
interests in Africa, Australia, Mongolia, Europe and Bangladesh, announces the
2009 exploration plans for its Mongolian coal interests.
Following the signing of the joint venture agreement with Peabody Energy
Corporation (NYSE:BTU) ("Peabody") the two companies have agreed plans for the
2009 exploration field season, continuing the work carried out by Polo in 2008.
The bulk of the work planned for 2009 will focus on the joint venture's 32
exploration licenses in the South Gobi region, covering 649 km2, where large
deposits of coking coal have already been discovered.
For the 2009 field season, a minimum of 60 line kilometres of geophysical
surveys and 6,000 metres of drilling has been planned. Initial work will
concentrate on areas where outcropping coal seams were found in three licenses
last year, namely Val (12483X), Hud (4522X) and Naruun North (10566X).
In early May 2009, a five hole, 1,000 metre drilling programme commenced at the
Erds brown coal project (13045X) aimed at significantly increasing the defined
resources and allowing for a JORC-compliant resource statement to be compiled
later this summer.
Field crews have been mobilised to the Val coal project in the South Gobi to
continue surface mapping and trenching the strike extensions of several thick
coals seams identified and drilled in 2008. In June 2009, a second phase of
drilling and geophysics is planned for Val, aimed at significantly expanding the
coal resources.
Neil Herbert, Managing Director of Polo, said:
"Following the completion of the JV agreement with Peabody in May, the two
parties have moved quickly to agree the exploration programme for the 2009
season. The cost of the planned work programme will be covered by the
investment Peabody has made into the joint venture company and we look forward
to announcing the results of this exploration programme later this year."
