- NWP Coal Canada Limited (“NWP”) is developing the Crown Mountain Hard Coal Project in the Elk Valley, British Columbia
- Crown Mountain is expected to produce an average of 86% Hard Coking Coal (“HCC”) and 14% Pulverised Coal Injection (“PCI”) over the life of mine which is currently 15 years
- Production averages 2 million clean tonnes of coal per year and over the life of mine, will be mined from three open pits
- The Project is proximate to existing infrastructure, roads and rail with clean coal railed to one of three Canadian West coast ports with spare capacity
- Bankable Feasibility Study completed in 2020 by Stantec and Sedgman
- Environmental Assessment in the Application Development Phase with EAO and the Technical Review Phase with IAAC
- Construction and first coal production timing are dependent on the regulatory process which is expected to take a few more years
- Construction could start as early as 2027, depending on the length of the regulatory and permitting processes.
- The construction of Crown Mountain will provide up to approximately 500 jobs
- Crown Mountain is expected to provide up to approximately 330 operational jobs, with a focus on utilizing a local workforce
- The Project’s footprint is approximately 1280 hectares including all buffers and contingency areas. Without those, the footprint is 851 hectares
