About Aquarian Gold Corporation

The company's large land position is located in the Riau coal basin, one of three coal rich areas within Sumatra that together account for seventy percent of Indonesia's annual coal production. They contain established coal mineralization. The licenses neighbor two significant finds, and are largely unexplored. Indonesia has become the world's largest thermal coal exporter, and among the characteristics of this coal are that it contains low pollutants such as ash and sulfur and so is used to mix with higher calorific value coals as far away as the U.S. and Europe. Chinese demand is increasing as China is not building new oil-fired plants and is adding each year generating capacity equal to the total power output of the U.K. The license is located in the east of Sumatra with good shipping links with South East Asia.
