Global mining products and services provider Industrea Limited (IDL) has extended its market leadership in mining productivity and safety equipment in China, today announcing a $3.1 million contract for delivery of an AMT directional drilling and methane gas drainage system to Yang Cheng County’s Zhulinshan Coal Mine. Shanxi Province is China’s largest producer of coal, and is forecast to increase output by as much as 60 per cent to 650 million tonnes in 2009 following a recent safety push by the authorities involving the consolidation of smaller mines.

Industrea Managing Director and CEO, Robin Levison, said the new contract demonstrated the Chinese market’s widespread acceptance of the company’s leading mining productivity and safety equipment, including gas drainage, collision avoidance systems and longwall roof support carriers. “Industrea has delivered outstanding results from its methane gas drainage systems in China for leading mining groups including Jincheng Group, China Shenhua and Shanxi. Our gas drainage equipment, once adopted by the major mining bureaus, can now penetrate a wider cross section of the Chinese mining community,” Mr Levison said. “China continues to expand coal production in line with its growing energy needs, and Industrea is extremely well positioned to benefit from the subsequent growth in demand for mining productivity and safety equipment due to our solid relationships, local presence and our provision of product support, training and maintenance to the Chinese industry.”

Extending its Chinese growth, global mining products and services provider Industrea Limited (IDL) today announced the signing of $13.6 million in new contracts with leading Chinese mining companies, Jincheng Blue Flame Coal Industry Co and Shanxi Changping Coal Mining Co. The new contracts secured by Industrea’s Chinese subsidiary Wadam are for five AMT directional drilling and methane gas drainage systems, with a total value of $11.7 million, together with associated spare equipment of $1.9 million.

Industrea Managing Director and CEO, Robin Levison, said the additional orders were secured due to excellent results from the AMT systems installed at the Sihe and other mines, and further boosted the company’s established and longstanding relationships with the Jincheng and Shanxi Mining Groups. Jincheng Group has achieved unparalleled levels of gas flow available for energy usage from its current installations of AMT methane gas drainage technology, with the potentially explosive gas extracted from the Sihe Coal Mine being used to power a gas-fired electricity plant in Jincheng city,” Mr Levison said. “In addition to the safety benefits of the system, the technology is providing a safe, reliable and productive energy source to power electrical generation equipment, while delivering substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. AMT’s directional drilling and methane gas drainage system has become the industry standard in China, allowing the typically gassy Chinese coal mines to improve productivity and safety standards significantly,” Mr Levison said.

Boosting a six-year-long relationship, Industrea Limited (IDL) announced today the award of two new contracts from China’s Jincheng Anthracite Mining Group for a total value of $5 million. The first Jincheng Group contract is a $2.4 million order for an AMT directional drilling and methane gas drainage system, associated training and equipment, for use at the group’s Sihe Coal Mine in Shanxi Province, northern China. The second is for two Industrea Mining Equipment (IME) 50 tonne longwall roof support carriers for supply to the Zhaozhuang Coal Mine, also in Shanxi Province. The contract value of the support carriers plus spares and tools is $2.6 million. Based in Shanxi Province, Jincheng Group produces high quality anthracite coal, which has high volumes of in-seam gas associated with the mining process. Industrea’s equipment will ensure the safe removal of methane gas, helping to maintain Jincheng Group’s high safety standards.

Industrea Managing Director and CEO, Robin Levison, said the new contracts enhanced an already successful relationship that commenced in 2003. “Jincheng Group is one of China’s leading mining groups, and like other major miners in the country it places a high value on Industrea’s quality focus and commitment to the market,” Mr Levison said.

“China’s economy is showing stronger growth, while efforts by the authorities to improve safety at underground coal mines have also boosted sales of Industrea’s leading-edge directional drilling and methane gas drainage systems.” In April, the Chinese authorities announced a gas safety campaign for coal operations producing more than 300,000 tonnes annually, with any smaller mines that fail to meet the new safety standards to be closed. The new contracts for Jincheng Group were another vote of confidence in the ability of Australian manufacturing to compete on a global level, Mr Levison added. “The state-of-the-art directional drilling system and roof support carriers will be built at AMT’s and IME’s separate manufacturing facilities located in New South Wales’ Central Coast and Hunter Valley. With this AMT system, along with an earlier order in June 2008, Jincheng Group will now be operating eleven of AMT’s directional drilling and methane gas drainage systems throughout China,” Mr Levison said.

Jincheng Group produces around 40 million tonnes of coal a year, with the group’s Sihe Coal Mine accounting for 10 million tonnes and 8 million tonnes produced by the Zhaozhuang Mine. “The size of Jincheng Group’s overall operations present significant opportunities for further sales for the 2009/10 financial year and beyond, based on the strength of the relationship between the two companies,” Mr Levison said.

Building on its strong Chinese presence, global mining products and services provider Industrea Limited (IDL) announced today the signing of a $2.5 million contract to supply an AMT directional dril ing and methane gas drainage system, associated training and equipment to Jincheng’s Sihe Coal Mine in Shanxi Province. Sihe Coal Mine is an existing AMT and Wadam customer already running four gas drainage systems. The state-of-the-art directional dril ing system wil be built in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, for supply to Shanxi Jincheng Anthracite Mining Group.

“Industrea continues to win new business in China against tough international competition due to our market leadership in mining safety and productivity equipment. Our world class directional dril ing technology allows our customer to safely remove gas at high volumes from a coal seam,” Mr Levison said. “We are now moving into the next phase of our Chinese growth strategy with the development of recurring revenue streams from not only new equipment sales, but also from training, maintenance, spare parts and support services, which are an increasingly important aspect of winning and maintaining customer loyalty. “To facilitate this revenue growth, Industrea has established a new product support centre in China capable of supplying a range of equipment spares across our key product ranges, alongside offering the required technical expertise in meeting the servicing and maintenance needs of our customers in the region.” Mr Levison said Industrea had recently achieved registration of subsidiary Industrea Wadam (Beijing) Technical Services Co. Ltd as a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise in China, with new office premises leased in Beijing.

China is forecast to nearly triple coal-fired generating capacity by 2030 from the 2006 level, with substantial investment anticipated in both coal mining and coal transportation infrastructure, according to the US Department of Labour’s Energy Information Administration.
