Project Summary
Hunnu Coal has identified and consolidated a portfolio of exploration and mining licences it considers to be prospective for high quality coking and thermal coals able to be developed for both the domestic and export markets.
A summary of Hunnu Coal's licences is below:

| Project | Location | Interest | Type | Description | Exploration Area |
| Altai Nuurs | Gobi Altai | 70% | Coking | 6 Exploration Licences and 4 mining licences |
46,212 ha |
| Unst Khudag | Middle Gobi | 80% | Thermal | 2 Exploration Licences and 1 Mining Licence Initial Coal Resource of approximately 324Mt based on less than 30% of the available data, with 226Mt in the Measured and Indicated JORC categories (18.85Mt Measured, 207.4Mt Indicated). Government authorities have approved mining of 98.7Mt of coal Offtake agreements currently being discussed with Mongolian and Chinese coal users Coal is located at less than 4m from surface with a low strip ratio of less than 1:1 from start-up Acquisition of 20,000m2 of land at the Choir rail head Commenced construction of a rail spur at Choir depot to the Trans-Mongolian Railway The prxoject is located 180km from the Mongolian railway grid and a feasibility study has commenced into a Choir to Unst Khudag rail line |
59,000 ha |
| Tsant Uul | South Gobi | 80% - 90% | Coking | Located within close proximity to surrounding infrastructure including 6km from existing haulage road to China and a proposed rail line to China peripheral to the project Initial Coal Resource of approximately 90Mt, with 61Mt in the Measured and Indicated JORC categories (34Mt Measured, 27Mt Indicated) Permitting process for the granting of a mining licence nearing completion Located close to other key development projects including the Tavan Tolgoi Coking Coal Field, Oyu Tolgoi Copper Gold and UHG Coking Coal Mine Aggressive exploration program planned for 2011 and first coal production is anticipated to commence in the latter half of 2011 |
69,000 ha |
| Buyan | South Gobi | 60% | Coking | Located within the giant Tavan Tolgoi Coking Coal Field, within 10km of existing exporting mines Expected to benefit from existing infrastructure in place and advanced construction of a rail line Expect to commence a detailed exploration program in 2Q 2011 |
76 ha |
| Tenuun-2 | South Gobi | 60% | Thermal | Two main areas of interest exist; the southern and northwest areas Extensive drilling, Geological mapping and geophysical survey studies have been undertaken |
30,360 ha |
