In an ASX meeting in Singapore NEC's managing director Keith Barker assured investors that NEC's application to mine 500 000 ton of coal per annum at Colton was just the initial application and once approved subsequent applications would follow. He went on to claim that NEC intended to install a coal washing plant that would cater for 1.5 million ton of coal per annum. This comes as the coal deposits located far exceed the initial 5mt found and reach 100mt+.
