"Since the Company's Ferreira Coal Mine started export sales in November 2010, we have exported over 1.1Mt of a high quality thermal coal through the Richards Bay Coal Terminal. Our increasing production levels at the Ferreira Coal Mine and commencement of production at our newly developed Penumbra Coal Mine has been timely with record coal railings and investment by South Africa's rail operator Transnet into the dedicated Richards Bay Coal Line and coal exports at the Richards Bay Coal Terminal at its highest levels since 2006" Continental's CEO Don Turvey said. In FY2013, the Company is forecasting total export thermal coal sales of 0.6Mt from the Ferreira and Penumbra Coal Mines and domestic thermal coal sales of 1.3Mt from the Vlakvarkfontein Coal Mine. Detailed production and operation data will be included in the Company's Quarterly Operations Report to be released on or before 31 January 2013.

Continental Coal Ltd Ferreira Production Update 23 January 2013 The Manager Company Announcements Australian Securities Exchange Limited Level 6, 20 Bridge Street Sydney NSW 2000 By e-lodgement FERREIRA COAL MINE EXCEEDS BUDGETED PRODUCTION LEVELS Continental Coal Limited (ASX:CCC, AIM:COOL) ("Continental" or "Company") the South African thermal coal production, development and exploration company, is pleased to announce that run-of-mine ("ROM") coal production at the Ferreira Coal Mine has exceeded budgeted levels in the December 2012 quarter, the first full quarter of operations in the recently acquired adjacent Prospecting Rights. Run of mine coal production at the Ferreira Coal Mine for the December 2012 quarter totaled 152,280 tonnes. Quarter on quarter an increase of approx. 40% was achieved, from the 109,935 tonnes of ROM coal produced in the September 2012 quarter. Monthly ROM production has now increased for the past 5 consecutive months in FY 2013. On 27 September 2012, the Company announced that approval had been received from the Department of Mineral Resources to extend the Ferreira Coal Mine opencast mining operations into adjacent and adjoining Prospecting Rights, that it had acquired in April and May 2012. Mining operations in the September 2012 quarter had previously been challenged with operations having reached the mining boundry and a resultant reduction in production. During the December 2012 quarter, the Company and its mining contractors successfully completed the initial pre-stripping for the new opencast mining operations and moved approx 1.3 million BCM of material. Opencast mining operations have advanced throughout the quarter, with ROM coal production increasing from approx. 38,700 tonnes in October 2012 to approx. 57,550 tonnes in December 2012. The run-of-mine coal production in December 2012, the highest monthly production to date in FY2013, was achieved despite the seasonal holidays. Mining costs per tonne and total production costs per sales tonne have reduced over the December 2012 Quarter as the mine has moved towards steady state operations, with mining costs per tonne and total production costs per sales tonne reduced by over 30%. FY2013 year to date mining costs per tonne and total production costs per sales tonne at the Ferreira Coal Mine remain below budgeted levels. The ROM coal production for the December 2012 quarter has exceeded the ramp up production profile advised in the September 2012 Quarterly Report, where 125,000 tonnes and 150,000 tonnes of ROM coal production were forecast for the December 2012 and March 2013 quarters respectively. The Ferreira Coal Mine remains on track to achieve ROM coal production of approx. 600,000 tonnes and sales of approx. 420,000 tonnes of a high quality thermal coal forecast for FY 2013.

Thanks you are older than me in holding this share. I am long (meaning I am looking for a big return) having bought at 4.5. Apologies, if i am saying the obvious, I need time to both learn & unlearn nuances.

But any way I am glad to know you. Are you in or considering to be in. you may choose not to answer this question, Old habits diie hard, I am just too curious.............LOL For the record I am here LOOOOOOONG at 4.5

I know what you mean. That's why I said PENNY LANDED not dropped, because it literally Landed with a THUD when I was in my shower at 6:30, that I am missing something because of my inhibitions and emotions about some thing / some one who I just know from a name. I have been taught that while trading you must be devoid of emotion, but seems like I failed on that test

Were you Shaunthepom before? Since there was a shaunthepom, a fantastic, frank and no nonsense poster on HC. I have read many of his / her posts and knew his / her stuff. Many down under follow him from what I have seen and heard since I have a lot of kiwi friends. According to the chatter he / she is permanently banned. If you were and using any other namefrom the same IP address you will be moderated. The get around is to get a mobile phone dongle and register as a new poster. If you were not with the same name you will most probably moderated. Hope I am able to help you whatever you were. Otherwise you'll find on this board where to reach me privately. All the very best

Its funny when I looked at the chatter on hotcopper I was looking for information about PL so that I could justify my dithering despite my system clearly giving me a buy signal. Got curiouser and curioser and read on, thought these aussies are in cukoo land and dismissed it off. Went toff to sleep and as soon as I woke up thought must copy those posts just in case or take some screen shots and they were all gone. That's when the penny landed that there might be some thing more to those posts. Didn't even know which all projects Cool were into till then, except Penumbra and De wittekrans

From memory what I read on hot copper many were talking mostly about 3 different projects 1. Kweneng project bid. The numbers were between $ 20 - $ 35 mill. 2. There was also chatter about another biggish bid for Wesselton II and Leiden in the range of $ 6 mill.. 3. There was some chatter about Serowe but can't remember the numbers. A lot of posts on how many X their holdings can become wild guesses between 2X to 6X Thought they were absurd and were day dreaming, when I logged back on in the morning many were moderated Some appeared to have been removed, since i am sure there were many more posts than those moderated ones

welcome to the 4.5 club

I am off out. Back in an hour

You are correct. Usually every new power project needs to show that they have the supply tied in for at least 5 - 10 years, before they can start commissioning. Hence the demand for producers is higher than explorers. The sam reason power companies demand, is also driving Uranium prices, Uranium miners and uranium mines up up and up

There wont be a meeeting RNS tomorrow. It's been arranged and the BOD doen't have to inform shareholders about board meetings. We know they have several bids, some are silly, but some are transformational. Lets hope what they reval after the meeting. Usually aussies are very clued up about these things, there were interesting posts very very upbeat and talking of several Xs, which I read in the wee hours and soon they just disappeard "poof" just like that Thought I was too sleepy / dreaming, but then saw some more posts there about missing posts, Something big is brewing and the BOD is trying to keep a lid on things. All will be revealed soon

CCC /COOL have coal mines close to some of the mines owned by major Indian & Chinese power company holdings. So for them its a win win, to pay a slight premium to buy the adjacent properties and haul more using the same infrastructure. So both make money

Look at every other coal miner listed here and see how they are all shooting up? Demand for power shooting up in China & India >> Most power plants there are thermal >>Most need thermal coal >>So the demand for thermal coal is shooting up >> Huge shortage of thermal coal globally >> Power companies are buying up coal miners & mines >> SP of Coal miners shooting up One long chain of events ...Job done

Bought in Black Mountain at their IPO, a while ago, without knowing about PL, and got out with a loss, it's history now. After looking deeper, COOL seems to be extremely undervalued with reasonably good, some fantastc properties. In this current climate of massive thermal coal demand by Chinese & Indian power sector companies, I think this is a good opportunity to make a tidy profit in coal miners including COOL. If you looked deeper every company has its risks, so have taken this risk for now, lets see where it goes. Previous experience is a fantastic teacher and it has taught me not to be greedy and to be a little bit patient. Hope we all do well with our investments

I am not a major fan of companies Peter Landau is involved in. Lets say he is not one of my favorites and leave it at that. That was one of the reasons I dithered seeing him here, but did a lot of research and it looked different. so dipped in. I am sorry if you had had a bad experience before with one of PLs companies

I am not on any other boards. I don't think there is any need to ramp it up, the market will know it soon

Well lets hoe so. COOL doen't deserve this SP from what research I had done over the past 6 weeks. Identified it before Xmas as a possible share to invest in through ichimoku, but as I said got locked in on another so couldn't find any funds to enter here. Lets see where this goes.

All the best. Lets hope we will all make a decent amount this time

Too late to ask now. He has become extremely cagey now, I wish I had but didn't
