Linc Energy has secured a significant coal exploration concession "Polanka-Wielkie Drogi" in Poland in the south eastern part of the Upper Silesia Coal Basin. The coal is of a sub-bituminous quality, covering 216 square kilometres.

Linc Energy expects to start exploration activities in early 2012.

Mr Peter Bond CEO said that "This Polish coal lease is a key asset to providing Linc Energy's platform into mainland Europe and we will be looking to drill and complete a pre-feasibility on Underground Coal Gasification over the coming months."

"Based on data published by Polish Mining and Geological Authorities, the coal deposit is estimated to be in the order of 1.2 billion tonnes.”
