MSJ Coal Mine

Leighton Holdings Ltd - Qtr4, Fourth Quarter Update 08/09

Leighton Asia has been operating at the MSJ coal mine in East Kalimantan since 2004, when it signed an initial three year contract. Leighton Asia was also responsible for constructing an 8.5 kilometre haul road from the mine site to the port area under a separate contract. Leighton Asia is responsible for the open cut mining of coal at the MSJ coal mine. The scope of work includes the removal of overburden, the loading and transportation of coal from the mine site to the port, and maintenance of the mine's haul road. The scope of work has been increased since August 2007, requiring Leighton to produce almost eight million tonnes of coal over a three-year period. The extension will require two additional truck and shovel fleets and associated support equipment.
