Indo Tambangraya Megah (ITMG; NEUTRAL; TP:IDR38,000): Site Visit Update - Solid Future Prospects

ITMG’s second largest mine site.  We recently visited IndoTambangraya Megah’s (ITMG) mine in Trubaindo, which is the company’s second largest in terms of production and reserves. We target Trubaindo facility to produce 7m tones of coal this year, which is 27% of our FY12 coal production target from all of ITMG’s mines amounting to 26m tonnes (+6% y-o-y). Coal reserves in Trubaindo stands at 96m tonnes, which translate to approximately 13 years of mining activity, assuming that production is constant. Trubaindo has a Coal Contract of Work (CCOW) Gen III license with the highest calorific value (6,500-7,300 kcal/kg (ADB)) compared to ITMG’s other mines.   
 
Solid infrastructure and good hauling conditions. On 26 Sept, we took a chartered flight from Balikpapan to the Melak airport, then travelled by car to the Trubaindo site which is located in West Kutai, East Kalimantan. The dry season, which was extended by a month, made truck-hauling conditions easier. Given that ITMG owns its dedicated hauling road, coal deliveries from South Block to Bunyut port should be both time- and cost-efficient. Bunyut isTrubaindo-Bharinto’s dedicated port and the point where coal is transported to Muara Berau and Muara Jawa, both part-transshipment destinations, before it is delivered to the Balik Papan Coal Terminal, owned by Bayan Resources (BYAN).

Positive synergies at work. Trubaindo is adjacent to the Bharinto mine. Both aggregate mines use Bunyut port and is expected to jointly produce 15m tonnes of coal in 2015. In terms of production capacity, there are barge loading and stock pile facilities which are able to meet the target set. However, the current hauling capacity in Trubaindo-Bharinto is only around 10m tonnes, thus expanding hauling facilities will be a main focus going forward. ITMG also has two crushing plants (with a capacity of 1,500/tph per plant) in Trubaindo-Bharinto, which will be able to accommodate further expansion looking forward. Currently, Trubaindo has agreements with four mining contractors, with PAMA as the largest partner (60%) as it has the largest fleet compared to the other three.

The best outperformer YTD, but still a NEUTRAL. ITMG has the highest YTD share price performance (+9%) compared to other listed coal players despite its flat production growth this year. We believe the share price increase is a short-term momentum on expectation for investors opts for a dividend player like ITMG, which has a 7% dividend yield for 2012.  Note that ITMG had announced its interim dividend earlier this year, at a 4% yield. We maintain our NEUTRAL call with a target price of IDR38,000.
