GENERAL MOLY PLACES HAUL TRUCK FLEET ORDER WITH CATERPILLAR
General Moly Inc.'s 80-per-cent-owned subsidiary has placed orders
for 18 Caterpillar 793 haul trucks (250 tons of payload capacity each)
through Caterpillar's Nevada-based dealer, Cashman Equipment Company.
All 18 trucks will be delivered to and commissioned at the Mount Hope site
beginning in late 2013 and early 2014 to complete mine preoperation
development. The total value of the Caterpillar order, including support
equipment, is anticipated to be approximately $75-million.
The Caterpillar haul truck order was originally placed in 2008 and
contained price escalators. The total cost of the Caterpillar mobile
fleet has been managed to a 5-per-cent increase from the 2008 budget, including
escalation, offset by an optimized and partially used support equipment
fleet.
Following this order, the company has firm commitments not subject to
escalation exposure for approximately $150-million in capital equipment,
representing approximately 40 per cent of the equipment budget for Mount Hope.
We seek Safe Harbor.
