Khushuut Coking Coal Mine ProjectMarket Analysis

MEC has, as an ongoing process, commissioned the services of Shanxi Fenwei Energy Consulting Co. Ltd. to conduct market studies to assess the demand for Khushuut coking coal

Fenwei concludes that the Xinjiang Market had great potentials for MEC that “Khushuut coal still is the scarcest type of coal in Xinjiang”, which complements the local high-volatile coal in Xinjiang

In order to achieve the best economic values, two types of coking coal product, i.e. C Coal and B Coal, are designed according to Khushuut coal seam’s natural forming conditions. Fenwei viewed that both products are premium coking coal and their market prices will escalate further once their advantages are truly understood.

Fenwei’s calculation of future market prices (Coking coal delivered to Xinjiang):

Market prices for coking coal expected to escalate for the next 15 years

- Moderate degree of confidence → 4 % annual growth rate (exclusion of inflation) through to 2025

- Based on lower degree of confidence → 6 % annual growth rate (exclusion of inflation) through to 2025

Two new coking plants increase coking coal demand by 4.76 million tonnes per annum (from 2.94 million tonnes per annum (2007) to 7.7 million tonnes per annum (2010))

In 2006 and 2007 imported approximately 1.0 million tonnes per annum from Dawukou mines in Ningxia

Balance was sourced from internal supply

It is expected that the additional 4.76 million tonnes per annum will be imported from external mines

Xinjiang Hongji Coke Corporation Ltd. (“Hongji”)

Two additional tamping coke ovens to come on line resulting in increased coking coal requirements by 2010

New plants will more than double current capacity resulting in a total 3.6 million tonnes per annum of coking coal requirements

Current sources include 300,000 from their own mines which must be blended with higher quality coal from Dawukou mines in Ningxia

Import coal requirements are expected to reach 3.3 million tonnes per annum by 2010

Xinjiang International Coal and Coking Corporation Ltd. (“XICC”)

Current coke production capacity is 1 million tonne per annum

Actual operating capacity (2007) was 370,000 tonnes coke due to poor quality coking coal and lack of premium quality coking coal for blending purposes

Through increased coking coal supply and improved quality, production in 2010 is expected to reach the 1 million tonne per annum design capacity resulting in a need for 1.9 million tonnes per annum coking coal

published by MEC on 18 Oct ’09 Coal quality and drilling (lithologic/structure) findings from the 2008 drilling program have been

reviewed by John T. Boyd 2009 Summer drilling programme results focusing on additional areas within the concession and in-fill

drilling have been reviewed 2010 pre-production drilling program results focusing on quality of initial mining area is being

evaluated

Mine development: MEC has contracted with Leighton LLC, an internationally experienced contract miner, for

management and operations of the Khushuut Project’s mining requirements. Mine operations commenced in July 2010 and initial coal production is expected by the end of 2010 Road construction and surface pavement; expected completion in 2010 Mine infrastructure and expanded infrastructure are under construction Further environmental and hydrological studies in progress
