LOS ANGELES, CA and HANOI, VIETNAM -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 09/07/2006 -- Cavico Corporation
(
The Nui Beo coal mine project is owned by Vietnam Coal Corporation and is located in Quang Ninh province, just northeast of Hanoi. The project has a total coal reserve of more than 36 million tons with a capacity of 1.2 million tons per year, yielding a life expectancy of 25 years for the project.
The mine has been in operation since 1990, but due to a lack of earth removal equipment between 1990 and the year 2000, only about 3 million tons of coal has been excavated. In 2000, Cavico signed a long-term contract of 15 years to provide mining services supporting coal extraction, with average annual quantities of 60,000 meters (length) of drilling at a diameter of 20 centimeters; 3.5 million cubic meters of earth mucking and 20 million tons of earth hauling removal.
Cavico has placed a professional management staff and skilled operators at the Nui Beo project to oversee its contract operations. Cavico has also been investing in this project through the acquisition and use of the most modern heavy mining equipment, including the Drilltech D245S, Wheel Loaders (CAT 992C), Excavator (CAT 375), Off-high way Dump Truck (CAT773B) and Bulldozer (D10).
In 2000, Cavico received $400,000 from servicing this project, but in 2005 it received $6.5 million. Last year Cavico completed 78,000 meters length of drilling, 4 million cubic meters of earth mucking and 29 million tons of earth hauling. Also, Cavico assisted in increasing last year's production from Nui Beo by up to 3.2 million tons of clean coal, yielding total coal extraction of 13 million tons.
