United Coal Holdings Ltd., has acquired two mining leases, AD262-65 (1792 acres) and AD1238-86 (257 acres) and has applied for 200 square kilometres explo- ration licence in the Kotli Coal district in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan. Test shipments of coal from United Coal’s Mining leases have been sold to a local cement plant owned by the Fauji Cement Company. The Fauji Cement Company used 1,128,258 MT of coal in its cement operations in 2010. This is just one of the potential coal customers in the area. The coal reserves in Pakistan are estimated at over 183 billion tonnes. However, the measured or drill-proven reserves are estimated at 579 million tonnes. In Pakistan, nearly 80% of coal mines are being operated by small mine owners. Average annual coal production is 4.5 million tonnes, out of which more than 90% is consumed in the brick and cement industry. There is huge potential for growth and consolidation in the industry. World Coal Consumption World coal consumption is projected to increase to 7.6 billion tonnes in 2020. Coal use in developing countries of Asia alone is projected to increase by 2.4 billion tonnes. China is projected to add an estimated 180 gigawatts of new coal fired power generating capacity (600 plants of 300 megawatts each) by 2020 and India approximately 50 gigawatts (167 plants of 300 megawatts each) Coal Management Team Leader United Coal has hired Mr .
