Mackenzie has an exploration target of 120 million to 170 million tonnes and is adjacent to the Jellinbah (PCI) and Yarrabee (PCI and Thermal) coal mines.
The maiden JORC report is expected to be issued 90 days after completion of the seven hole drilling program.
Underground coal gasification
The company is also continuing to work with MedcoEnergi in Indonesia and Hulaan Corporation in Mongolia on progressing various underground coal gasification opportunities in those countries.
Cougar plans to develop a 30 megawatt power plant using UCG gas feedstock in Indonesia, whose Government has set coal resource upgrading and developing stranded coal resources as some of its key objectives.
It has also signed off on a Memorandum of Understanding with Hulaan to assess its coal assets for UCG development potential.
Analysis

Generating a maiden JORC resource for Mackenzie is key step in its strategy to focus on realising value from its conventional coal assets and would be a milestone and catalyst for a potential re-rating of the company.
