CHINESE COAL DISCUSSIONS

FOLLOWING

THE FOLLOWING HAS EMERGED FROM. OUR TALKS WITH THE CHINESE COAL MINISTRY AND OTHER ORGANISATIONS:

1. COAL FOR HONG KONG.

THEY HAVE INVITED UK INTERESTS TO DESIGN, CONSTRUCT. AND, FULLY EQUIP TWO MAJOR DEER MINE PROJECTS IN TATUNG AREA! THE COAL WOULD BE EARMARKED FOR SUPPLY TO HONG KONG. PAYMENT WOULD ULTIMATELY BE MADE THROUGH PROCEEDS FROM SALE OF THIS COAL. SUITABLE BRIDGING FINANCE WOULD NEED TO BE NEGOTIATED. CHINESE STATE THEY HAVE ALREADY PREPARED FEASIBILITY STUDIES FOR THESE MINES AND WOULD LIKE PD/NCS TO REVIEW AND COMMENT ON THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. EMBASSY HERE WILL SEEK TO 03TAIN AND TRANSMIT THESE DOCUMENTS. EARLY VISIT OF PD/NCB TEAM WILL THEN BE REQUIRED.
