- Prairies and CC5Cs Strategic Co-operation Agreement demonstrates the increasing economic collaboration between Poland and China following Chinas proposed One Belt, One Road development strategy and highlights Polands importance as a One Belt Economy for accessing key European markets

- CC5Cs parent company China Coal, is the second largest coal producer in China with total assets of ~US$50bn and 110,000 employees across 53 subsidiaries. In 2015, China Coal produced 166Mt of coal across 46 open pit and underground coal mines
Following six months of intensive review of the PFS by China Coal, including comprehensive meetings with management, this agreement successfully ties Prairie to one of the worlds largest and most successful coal mine construction firms and is testament to the quality and low-operating cost nature of the Jan Karski Mine, commented Prairie Minings CEO Ben Stoikovich. Prairies team has visited many of China Coals mine construction projects and operating coal mines, and it is clear that China Coal are world leaders in mining technology and mine construction. They have extremely high engineering, productivity and safety standards that rival the very best Australian and US longwall coal mines. CC5Cs expertise, particularly in shaft sinking, has the potential to significantly accelerate the construction schedule of the Jan Karski Mine. Of equal importance is the potential for this transaction to unlock significant financing for the Project from Chinese banks who have a track record of supporting major EPC-led international contracts.
Prairie Mining Group Executive and former Head of the Secretariat of the Polish Prime Ministers Office, Mr. Artur Kluczny said The Governments economic policy for Poland recognises coal as a pillar of energy security, and calls for the re-industrialisation of the domestic economy. New investment in state of the art and highly efficient new coal mines will boost the mining sector and see Polands renaissance as a significant coal exporter. By co-operating with China Coal we contribute to establishing new trade and investment links with China which is also seen as a strategic option for the country. Prairie Mining will be integrating Polish experts with the CC5C team to ensure that all local regulatory requirements are met. We are looking forward to seeing CC5C establish their European operating base in Poland.
Deputy General Manager of China Coal No.5 Construction Company, Mr. Sang H
ua said, The Jan Karski Mine is managed by a highly experienced team in Prairie Mining and, with CC5Cs shaft sinking and coal mine construction expertise, will no doubt be developed into a world class coal mine. We are excited to have entered into this co-operation agreement with Prairie Mining and see the Jan Karski Mine as a flagship overseas development project for China Coal as part of our strategy to increase China Coals international presence as a major mine development contractor.
