JAKARTA, Indonesia, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- KAL Energy,
Inc. (OTC:KALG) (BULLETIN BOARD: KALG) , a thermal coal exploration
and development company, announced today the opening of its Jakarta
office and the completion of its extensive company restructuring.
William Bloking, executive chairman and president of KAL Energy,
Inc. said, "I am pleased to report that, in line with last
quarter's announcement, the move to Jakarta was completed on time
and on budget. We believe the transition to Jakarta reaffirms our
commitment and focus on our Indonesian coal interests. The move to
Jakarta provides to KAL, a significant reduction in overhead by
exiting our London operations and reducing our presence in
Singapore. We expect to complete the transition from Singapore by
the end of this calendar year. "KAL is entering into a new pivotal
phase in the Company's life cycle which requires the right team to
ensure excellent execution of the Company's strategic plans. The
Company is now firmly focused on exploring and developing its
thermal coal resources in Kalimantan, Indonesia, one of the world's
most prolific coal exporting areas. "While this has entailed tough
staffing decisions, we believe these changes will maximize
shareholder value while putting the company on a solid platform for
growth. We have consolidated our geographic footprint, restructured
management, and hired key local staff, which allows KAL to have a
fully independent operation geared towards execution," concluded
Mr. Bloking. As part of the comprehensive restructuring, KAL has
also terminated contracts with service providers including PT
Montraco Internusa, Mining House Ltd and associated companies.
