Anglo Pacific Group PLC files amended and restated Kestrel Technical Report (NI 43-101)
Anglo Pacific Group PLC (the "Group") (LSE: APF) (TSX: APY), announces that an amended and restated technical report (NI 43-101) in relation to its Kestrel coal royalty was filed on SEDAR on November 30, 2010.
The amendments relate to computational errors in Tables 14.4 and 16.3 which outline the Ore Reserve Economic Viability Assessment and Royalty Stream Analysis respectively on a 100% ownership basis. In the previously filed technical report both tables indicated royalty percentages in excess of the maximum 10% levied under the Queensland Mineral Resources Act (1989).
The Group do not consider the amendments to be of a material nature as they do not impact the carrying value of the Group's 50% ownership interest in the Kestrel coal royalty, which is independently valued at each reporting date.
The amended and restated technical report is available electronically on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.
