Coalcorp Announces Agreement with Mining Contractor for Resuming Operations at La Francia Mine
TORONTO, Aug. 12 /CNW/ - Coalcorp Mining Inc. ("Coalcorp" or the
"Company") (TSX-CCJ) announced today that it executed an agreement with
Consorcio Minero del Cesar, its current mining contractor, which will allow
for the immediate commencement of operations at the La Francia mine.
The agreement also includes certain key amendments to the current
agreement that governs the relationship between the Company and the mining
contractor:
1. The Company is granted the option for an early termination of the
mining contract upon completion of a buyout mechanism. This option
may be exercised by providing notice to the contractor at any time
after April 1, 2010, and will be effective three months following
such notice.
2. The Company will have the option to assume the lease agreements in
respect of, or to acquire, contractor equipment that is essential for
the operation of the mine, upon termination of the mining contract.
3. The Company and the mining contractor have mutually waived and
settled any actual, threatened or future claims in connection with
the mining contract resulting from events occurring prior to the date
hereof.
4. A management committee with senior representatives from the Company
and the mining contractor has been established and is designed to
improve communication between the Company and the mining contractor.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) previously signed between the
Company and the mining contractor to regulate the incorporation of key
equipment into the operation of the La Francia mine has been superseded by
this new agreement and the mining contractor has agreed to maintain equipment
in the mine. The Company's obligation to assume the leases or acquire the
equipment under the terms of the MOU has thus ceased.
