IEC continues to geographically expand its coal asset base in Eastern Africa and is forming partnerships with organisations judged to be leaders in geological excellence, capable of providing known and potential coal resources for development. The preferred acquisition methodology is by farm-in arrangement for early stage development and joint venture or direct purchase for advanced projects with defined JORC resources. Power generation projects and utilisation opportunities will involve consortium formation in which IEC will seek an equity position.
