Current regional prices are in excess of US$40 per tonne. "The commencement of coal production represents a major step forward in providing early cash flow. The coal development has been accelerated to take advantage of the infrastructure which has already been put in place. This will maximise value to shareholders and at today's prices the predicted revenues from Naga based upon conservative production figures, will yield approximately US$12million per year by the end of 2008. A similar development programme at Dalaguete, our Southern Cebu coal contract, is planned for 2007. This is also anticipated to generate comparable revenues at peak production."

With this in mind Forum has already applied for two additional coal production licences in the Naga area."
