Polo Resources Limited

("Polo Resources", "Polo" or "the Company")

 

Polo Resources Limited (AIM and TSX: POL), further to the announcement of 30 June 2010, today announces that the Company has received the US$20 million deferred cash consideration from Winsway Coking Coal Holdings Ltd ("Winsway"). This relates to the disposal of Polo's 50% interest in the Peabody-Polo Resources B.V., the joint venture company formed by Polo and Peabody Energy Corporation to hold coal and uranium assets in Mongolia. The total consideration received from Winsway for Polo's interest in the Mongolian joint venture is US$35 million.

 

The Company will continue to retain a net 0.5 per cent royalty for coal sold from licences previously held in the JV agreement.

 

Neil Herbert, Executive Co-Chairman and Managing Director of Polo Resources said:

 

"Polo Resources has now disposed of its Mongolian assets apart from a 0.5 per cent royalty of the future producing asset. Polo is currently focused on investments in coal assets in Bangladesh and Australia and will update the market on new opportunities as and when they materialise."
