HLB.to = HLSRF.pk 1.22 + .10 - this over-reaction in coal issues, paticularly juniors such as HLB, presented a unique opportunity to participate in what may be the "hottest" sector in energy. This one reached 2.08C as high and the high price of coal is just beginning to be factored into the share price IMO as indicated in today's PR. Export shipments - see the articles on the needs of China, India, South Africa, etc., where environmental issues are not predominant and you can see that this may be the sector to be in. Hillsborough Resources is Pleased to Announce the Fixed Price on 2009 and 2010 Export Shipments Jul 9, 2008 10:00:00 AM View Additional ProfilesVANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 9, 2008) - Hillsborough (TSX:HLB) fixes price on 2009 and 2010 export shipments. Hillsborough Resources Limited is pleased to advise that it has now locked in prices on all shipments pursuant to the off-take agreement it recently signed with Vitol SA. For the 2009 calendar year, the contracted 300,000 tonnes has been locked in at an average of US$137 per tonne. For 2010, Vitol agreed to increase the off-take from 300,000 tonnes to 360,000 tonnes, and the average price for this coal will be US$138 per tonne. Mr. David Slater, President & CEO, stated, "The recent run-up in the Newcastle index price for thermal coal, and the flattening of the index curve from its previously backwardated profile, has given us the comfort to lock in all of our previously unpriced coal commitments under the Vitol agreement, including those shipments slated for 2010. When taken together with our existing domestic contracts, Hillsborough's average coal price for 2009 will be $105 per tonne, and $113 per tonne for 2010."
