("CIA" or the "Company")
Trading Update
In July 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of CoalTech Limited and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Coal Tech LLC, and Coal Agglomeration South Africa
(Pty) Ltd (together the "CoalTech Group") and was re-admitted to trading on the
NEX Exchange. The Company also raised GBP 130,000 in total, equally from two
non-executive directors, Noel Lyons and Paul Ryan, via a convertible loan note
that has a conversion price of 2.75p per share. Further details can be found in
the announcement of 26 July 2019.
The Admission Document of 14 June 2019 anticipated the South African Reserve
Bank ("SARB") approval on 30 August 2019. The process of approval is on-going
and the Company anticipates issuing the remainder of the 256,845,316
Consideration Shares pursuant to the Acquisition of the CoalTech Group, shortly
to the SA Resident Vendors. A further announcement will be made in due course.
Through CoalTech Limited, the Company continues to explore expansion
opportunities in new geographies. This includes trials in Poland and in South
Africa whereby samples of coal fines provided by interested parties have been
successfully converted to coal pellets and accordingly, several new commercial
opportunities are in the late stages of discussion. A joint venture company
called CoalTech S.a.r.l. has been established with Creon Capital S.a.r.l. in
Luxembourg, as a partnership to develop opportunities to build coal
pelletisation plants in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
As part of the integration process, and as announced on 30 September 2019, the
Company, along with CoalTech Limited, will change its year end date to 31
December to align the accounting year end date of all companies within the
Group.
Mr. Filippo Fantechi, Non-Executive Chairman of the Company, commented "we are
delighted by the level of commercial interest being shown in the CoalTech
proprietary technology for cleaning up the environmental problem by converting
coal fines waste into commercially viable coal pellets".
The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the content of this
announcement.
