The Nunukan Coal Project now consists of three Izin Usaha


Pertambangan (IUP) Exploration concessions that cover a
combined area of about 15,103ha of the largely underexplored

Killara Resources Limited


ABN 68 132 204 561

Tarakan Basin including the Meliat, Tabul and Naintupo Formations as shown in Map 2

Coal mining is carried out by PT Medco Energi Mining Internasional (MEMI) on its PT Duta
Tambang Rekayasa concession 6 km to the south of part of the Nunukan Coal Project. (See
ref: www.medcoenergi.com/page.asp?id=250006 and Map 2 above). Results from 389 drill
holes completed by MEMI on the concession show average coal specifications are low ash
(9%), high sulphur (3%) and high energy (6,800Kcal/Kg) for a direct ship coal product1.
Killara is currently completing a community liaison and field mapping program across other
concessions comprising the Nunukan Coal Project. Once this work is complete, Killaras
team will mobilise to the PBPS concession and conduct general reconnaissance mapping
including representative coal sampling. Success in this work would lead to more detailed
field mapping designed to identify areas for subsequent drill testing.
The PBPS concession has not been the subject of any systematic coal exploration to date.
After completing a six month due diligence program Killara will have the option to proceed
with the transaction via a series of payments based on pre established milestones which will
entitle Killara to an 85% equity interest in the PBPS concession. Pending a favourable
outcome from the six month due diligence program Killara can elect to pay US$100,000 for
the concession as an option exercise payment, upon receipt of necessary permits to enable
the conduct of exploration activities a further (US$250,000), completion of an initial resource
drilling program (US$250,000), upgrade of the concessions to production status and receipt

of any necessary permits to enable the conduct of mining activities (US$250,000),


completion of a feasibility study and a decision to mine (US$1.65 million) and
commencement of commercial production (US$2.5 million). The total payable should Killara
elect to proceed through each of the milestones is US$5 million.

Executive Director Mr Darren Misquitta commented on the signing of the MOU as follows
We are very happy to be expanding this project and this acquisition represents a significant
step in becoming the dominant player in the immediate region.
Yours faithfully,

Darren Misquitta
Executive Director
