HIGHLIGHTS

-    Estimated limestone deposits from 2 to 3 billion metric tons (MT), located in an area of 200 square kilometers (approximately 49,420 acres).

-    The mine area is located in Viel Denh area, Thalaboriwatt District, Stung Treng Province, the Kingdom of Cambodia. The best travel route, and often the best bet for a cheap airfare, to Cambodia's capital is through Bangkok Airport.

-    A region of biggest reserves of minerals in North East of Cambodia, a mineral focal region which has been listed in the “Opportunities for Mineral Investment in Cambodia” handbook issued in 2002 by the General Department of Mineral Resources under the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy of Cambodia.

-    Initial geological survey shows highly consistent white and white-pink block-shaped limestone reserves, which are suitable for producing white cement and white lime powder.

-   Preliminary chemical analysis shows very positive for many uses including cement, lime, glass, and agricultural lime (all depending on the chemistry). The various physical characteristics will need to be analyzed to assess the potential in non-chemical outlets such as use as an aggregate or as white mineral filler. Basically, limestone is the most versatile commodity being used in everything from a local aggregate for road building to a micronized powder with extremely high brightness used in the manufacture of paper. A single commercial limestone mine can supply many of these uses through selective mining and mineral processing. The emphasis would be on the higher priced grades and then the marketing of any “waste”. If the limestone is of a certain natural quality, mineral processing may be used to generate additional grades and thus add value to the commodity.
 

OWNERSHIP

-    PHI Mining Group has signed a joint venture agreement with Paul Cham Group Co. Ltd., a Cambodia-based company, to establish PHI CHAM MINING CORPORATION in Cambodia to explore, exploit and process the minerals from the Limestone Mine. PHI Mining Group will own 60% and Paul Cham Group will own 40% of PHI CHAM Mining Corp.
