Leigh Creek Energy Limited has awarded two Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Management (EPCM) contracts for the Stage 1 Commercial Development of the Leigh Creek Energy Project. EPCM Contracts have been awarded to inGauge Energy Pty Ltd. (inGauge): Upstream: contracted to manage drilling services for development of initial gasification wells to provide feedstock syngas for a 5MW power plant. Prudentia Process Consulting Pty Ltd. (Prudentia): Downstream: contracted to manage selection, engineering, construction, and commissioning of the 5MW gas fired power plant. The two commercial stages of the LCEP will be developed in parallel. Award of the EPCM is another mile stone towards achieving the LCEP's Stage1 Commercial Development. The LCEP Commercial Development stages comprise both upstream (underground ISG operations) and downstream (above ground urea manufacturing) components. Stage 1 Commercial Development is a closed system power supply from a series of ISG wells (upstream) sufficient to power a 5MW gas fired powerplant (downstream). Now that LCK has been issued with its Petroleum Production Licence (PPL) it is finalizing the upstream ISG production Environmental Impact Report(EIR). Stage2 Commercial Development comprises large scale gas drilling and production, plus construction of a 1Mtpa urea production facility. The Company recently completed a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on the urea production option, which highlighted the robust economics for development of the project, which will Provide fertilizer to domestic Australian and export markets. LCK will separately contract for long lead items that will then be managed by respective EPCM contractors. The100% owned LCEP is located in South Australia 550km north of Adelaide. The LCEP sits within PEL 650 and PPL 269, which overlay the existing Leigh Creek Coal field. The LCEP aims to initially produce 1Mtpa of urea utilizing ISG technologies. The project will provide long term growth and employment opportunities to the communities of the northern Flinders Ranges and South Australia. The project contains 1,153PJ of 2P gas reserves plus 301.2 Mt of indicated and inferred coal resources. The positive project economics for the development of a urea production facility supported by syngas feedstock were confirmed in the Company's recently released pre- feasibility study (PFS). The PFS outlined an average nominal production cost of $109/tonne which places LCEP in the lowest cost quartile of the global urea cost curve.
