The AEM Project
Description
Currently AEM is
developing 2 projects
in Colombia
a) Construction & operation of coal-fired power plant in Córdoba
b) Coal mining exploitation in one of the Santander block
a) Coal-fired power plant - Córdoba
b) Coal mining exploitation - Santander
AEM has signed an agreement with the one of the major
Colombian companies for the generation, distribution and
trade of energy, to construct and operate a coal-fired
power plant which will be fueled by our coal (143 millions
tons). Energy production is scheduled to start in 2018.
Located in Santander, one of the block has estimated
resources of 128 million tons of bituminous coal of high
calorific value. The company has all the licenses to start
exploitation with an estimated volume of 360,000 tons /
year (from the 5th year).

Construction and management of a Coal-Fired Power
Plant.
The coal-fired power plant will be located in the mine
mouth of the company's property deposit and will
provide the coal that will be use to fuel the power plant.

AEM has ownership over two coal blocks in the Santander
region with reserves of 218 million tons of coal.
One of them, “La Estrella” block, has 128 million tons of
coal and the license to operate the mine.

There are three models to sell the electricity produced in Colombia
Realibility charge
• The state agrees to purchase the power generated during 20 years
• The prices are fixed through energy auctions
• A project of power plant becomes a “project finance”
Commercializing
• There are 28 pure commercializing companies
• The demand is committed daily
• The prices are fixed in the energy stock exchange daily
Private contract
• The large mines need high quantities of energy (Kv)
• Prices are set between the two companies
• Contracts are signed for long periods

The main indicators that
measure the economy related
to the coal industry have
undergone significant growth
in recent years.
This growth has led Colombia
to become one of the leading
producers and marketers in the
region.
The CPI rose an average of
4.25% annually from 2005 thru
2012 (being the industrial CPI
of 2.25%).
