September quarter: cash was $20m at 30 September 2013 (from $24m), with no take-or-pay liabilities. Belview's 322Mt Inferred resource and mining lease application are restated, and the Belview capital cost review continues, aiming at savings and strategic partners.

Stanmore lodged a mining lease application over 50.7km2 at Belview, backed by the 322Mt Inferred resource. It targets first coal by 2017, with more drilling and an updated mining study planned by end 2013. Application only; no lease granted yet.
Belview Inferred resource rises to 322Mt from 95Mt after a five-hole program, with a further exploration target of 204-306Mt. This delivers the JORC resource missing when the March concept study was withdrawn. Initial quality suggests low-ash coking coal plus a PCI product.
June quarter: cash $24m at 30 June 2013 (from $29m), no take-or-pay liabilities, Belview resource upgrade due early in the next quarter. Management is reviewing Range and Belview capital costs and restricting spending; Belview pre-feasibility study now planned for 2014 (previously 2H 2013).
