EPC 2527 and EPC 2528<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

July 5, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mining Projects Group Ltd has completed its acquisition (see SBBiz, February 7, 2012<\/strong>) of 100 per cent of the issued capital of Delcarmen Energy Ltd, which holds two applications for Exploration Permits for Coal north and east of Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

The applications, EPC 2527 and EPC 2528, cover a combined area of 1030sq km.<\/p>\n

Mining Projects Group says an independent study of the geological prospectiveness of the target area suggests potential for high energy thermal coal as well as semi-soft coking coal, primarily located within the Triassic-age Esk and Gayndah Formations.<\/p>\n

Upon granting of these Exploration Permits, which Mining Projects Group anticipates will occur in the coming weeks, it will begin an initial drilling program as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Mining Projects Group will engage an independent geologist to develop a conceptual exploration target and design this initial drill program.<\/p>\n

It has begun discussions with local contractors to complete this program and commenced negotiations for access with local landholders and native title representatives.<\/p>\n

Under the agreement for the acquisition of Delcarmen, the balance of the consideration payable to the vendors of Delcarmen is contingent on the granting of EPC 2527 and EPC 2528.<\/p>\n

The consideration includes the issue of 12.5 million ordinary MPG shares and $200,000 payable in cash on the granting of EPC 2527 as well as the issue of 12.5 million ordinary shares and $200,000 payable in cash on the granting of EPC 2528.<\/p>\n

Mining Projects Group says the Delacarmen acquisition provides it with a footprint within a coal basin which has an existing power station and historical rail infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
