COKING COALAN ESSENTIAL RESOURCE FOR THE FUTURE

Queensland’s Bowen Basin is the largest exporter of high quality export coking coal to the globalsteel industry. Each tonne of new steel requires 800kgs of coking coal1.

Stanmore is producing coking coal in each month sufficient to construct2:

Each next generation Tesla 3 is expected to require approximately:

43 kg of Lithium 270 kg of Graphite 465 kg of Coking Coal

Historical spot coking and thermal coal price

Japanese contract prices havesettled with 2 consecutive quartersof increases – hard coking coal upUSD 11.50/t, semi soft coking coalup USD 8/t from the bottom

Coking and thermal markets arebecoming quite tight with somesupply disruptions and increases inChinese import demand

Strong long term future for cokingcoal on the back of steel demandand diminishing production

Stanmore is well positioned tocapitalise on increasing strength inthe coking coal market
