Overview

CROWSNEST PASS COMPLEX

Benga Mining Ltd. completed the acquisition of the Crowsnest Pass Complex in southwest Alberta, Canada, on August 29, 2013.

The Crowsnest Pass Complex area of southwest Alberta has a long history of coal mining and is located within 30 kilometres of the operating steelmaking coal mines in the Elk Valley, British Columbia.

The Crowsnest Pass Complex includes:

• the Grassy Mountain Project, a promising hard coking coal development project;
• steelmaking coal exploration opportunities, consisting of Grassy South, Grassy North, Bellevue, Adanac and Lynx Creek properties; and
• a substantial freehold land package, which includes a significant area near the Grassy Mountain Project that is suitable for locating project-related infrastructure.
