Summary:

The WBM occurs within the Eocene age Tanjung Formation, with the geology can be described as a thrustfaulted monocline structure that strikes northeast to southwest. The coal strikes for approximately 15 km, and strata dip is gentle to moderate at 5 to 30 degrees to the southeast.

The Project concessions are within multi seam deposits that occur within the Eocene Age Tanjung Formation of the Asem-asem Basin. The structure of the deposit is a thrust faulted monocline structure which trending northeast southwest. The coal is striking over 15 km long with gentle to moderate dips with ranges 5 - 30 degree to southeast. Multiple northeast-southwest thrust faults have been interpreted; however, the inter-fault zones form a dome-like structure and relatively undisturbed with gentle dip. In the eastern area, no faulting has been identified and the deposit can be described as simple monocline structure with coal dips to the southeast.

The deposit covers area approx. 7,811 ha, with an approximate strike length of 18 km and approximate width 4 km.
