Name of the Project
Rocky Creek metallurgical coal project.

Location
British Columbia, Canada.

Project Owner/s
CTI Plus Resources.

Project Description
The proposed project comprises two mining areas, one in the NW Block and another in the SE Block. Both areas will be mined using openpit methods and conventional truck-and-shovel equipment.

The project will have an estimated operation life of about 14 years.

The NW Block, which consists of six openpits, will be mined for about 11 years. 

Thereafter, the SE Block will be mined for about four years from one openpit.

Owing to the distance between the two mining blocks, the SE Block may include a satellite facility to provide the necessary maintenance and supplies.

The total run-of-mine (RoM) production rate is estimated at three-million tonnes a year, which is equivalent to 8 220 t/d, or about 1.75-million tonnes of clean coal a year.

The coal handling and processing plant has a theoretical maximum RoM processing rate of 10 320 t/d, or 3.77-million tonnes a year, assuming the plant is operating 24/7 and 365 days a year.

Potential Job Creation
Not disclosed.

Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
To be determined.

Capital Expenditure
Not stated.

Planned Start/End Date
Mine construction is expected to start in the second quarter of 2028, with mining operations expected to start in the third quarter of 
2030.

Latest Developments
CTI Plus Resources submitted plans to develop the project to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and British Columbia's Environmental Assessment Office in October 2024.

Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
Not disclosed.
