New Colombia Resources Inc. Reports on Site Visit of their Coal and Rock Mine by Environmental Authorities in Colombia.
The Company believes they have discovered rock phosphate on their property
GUADUAS, Colombia, Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- New Colombia Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: NEWC) ("New Colombia or the Company"), a U.S. company with coal and other resource assets in Colombia, is pleased to update shareholders on the progress of their mining operations. As previously announced, New Colombia is developing a 1000 m3 per day rock quarry on their property while they bring coal operations online.
The environmental authority visited their site in Guaduas with company directors on September 12, 2014. There were no negative comments during the visit, only positive comments about the discovery of rock phosphate and the quality of both their coal and rock assets. Since there have never been mining operations on their site causing a negative environmental impact, New Colombia Resources believes there will be no issues with the environmental permit. This visit is normally the final step in the approval of an environmental permit. The company's Work Plan (PTO) was approved by the National Mining Agency (ANM) on December 23, 2013.
New Colombia Resources is very pleased the Colombian government has initiated their 4G Highway plan for nine new four lane highways. The first five highway concessions were signed last week, including 214 km from Girardot to Puerto Salgar which is very close to their gravel operation. An Israeli company recently won a bid to build a beltway system around Bogota.
The Company is setting up operations at their mine to produce 1000 m3/day of raw building material. They are finalizing negotiations with equipment operators this week. They recently completed an engineering study where lab test showed very high quality rocks. The study will be posted on the company's website.
New Colombia is having rock phosphate samples tested. If they prove to be positive for phosphate, the company will approach buyers. The current market price for rock phosphate is $ 111/m3. The company will be visiting with potential buyers of raw building materials at their mine site this week. The company expects to be set up for operations with the next few weeks.

Transportation, Logistics and Other Information
New Colombia Resources intends to sell their coal at the mine's gate unless they enter into off-take agreements. Upon proper financing, the Company plans to build or acquire river or rail loading facilities on the Magdalena River close to their mines. The coal will be trucked to these distribution centers, and then barged via the Magdalena River or by rail to terminals in Barranquilla, Santa Marta, or Cartagena for export. Initially they will use existing logistics providers while their transportation projects are being developed. After the rail projects and the "Road to the Sun" project are completed, New Colombia Resources will have one of a few metallurgical coal mines in the World with river, rail, and road access to coal export terminals on both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
