South African coal
A BIG market by world standards…..
7th largest coal producer in the world (about ¼ of US production)
4th largest coal consumer in the world (behind only China, US and Japan)
92% of all coal produced in Africa is produced in South Africa
45% of all electricity produced in Africa is produced by the SA power utility Eskom (7th largest in the world)
With a BIG challenge to be met…….
85% of all coal produced in South Africa has historically come from the Central Basin
85% of all of Eskom’s current generating capacity is located on the Central Basin
From 2015 supplies from the Central Basin will decline rapidly when existing large-scale mine suppliers reach
the end, forcing supplies to be secured from further afield
“…There’s a serious, serious supply shortage in South Africa to supply Eskom. From 2013 to 2019, 120-million tons of new capacity needs to come on stream. South Africa’s biggest challenge right now remains the supply to Eskom over the next six years. Longer term; of the four-billion tons of coal that Eskom will need over the next 40 years, two-billion tons will have to come from new sources…” Ian Hall, Chairman South Africa Coal Road Map, McCloskey Coal Conference, Cape Town, January 2013
We have one of the few remaining long life coal mines located in the Central Basin
PLUS we are one of the closest mines to the premium Johannesburg industrial market.

What does this mean…
We have a significant opportunity, as well as a competitive edge, to take advantage of this situation
Our two markets are ESKOM and the INDUSTRIAL DOMESTIC MARKET. OR we can focus on Eskom alone.
ESKOM (lower quality coal, exclusively for power generation)
Since the completion of the feasibility study last year, the price being paid by Eskom for Central Basin coal has increased appreciably with every indication that further price rises will happen
Eskom is building and commissioning the 3rd and 4th largest coal fired power stations in the world on the basis that they are being configured to burn lower quality coal i.e. suppliers will be able to extract more product (at better prices) from their existing reserves.
INDUSTRIAL DOMESTIC MARKET (higher quality coal, mainly used in furnaces)
With this market centred on Johannesburg, our location only 50 miles away, gives us a freight advantage equivalent to US$9/t over the majority of our competitors
Competition from Eskom and export markets has increased prices paid by the Industrial Domestic Market such that the net return received in this market is currently at a premium to the net return were we to sell FOB Richards Bay for export

Moabsvelden Colliery - Attributes
Technically straight forward; entirely open cast and simple processing with long life
Strategically located for its primary and middlings markets
Free of infrastructure constraints
Manageable capital budget
Already passed independent technical review on behalf of banks
Bankable
No identified impediments to development
6
66 million tonnes, surrounded by existing collieries, located near Delmas in South
Africa’s Central Basin, 15 year mine life
Only 50 miles from Johannesburg/ Pretoria the centre of the SA industrial market
and in close proximity to most Eskom power stations
All product is sold at the mine gate. Sales comprise by value: SA industrial buyers
(2/3) and Eskom (1/3) or we could go 100% Eskom. No intention to export our
premium product via RBCT as we get superior net prices from the industrial
market
US$29m – achievable because no expensive underground development, simple
plant and use of mining contractors plus no infrastructure costs
The bankable feasibility study has undergone a thorough independent technical
review by independent consultants on behalf of the South African banks
We have received and accepted a firm, credit approved offer of finance from South
Africa’s largest bank
Surrounded by existing coal mines, no sensitive river catchments, no habitation or
developments on the site

Mine Life of 15 years
7
The mine has a life of 15 years during which
time it will generate revenue in excess of US$ 1
billion at current coal prices and exchange rates
All mine production is by means of a single box
cut, thereby avoiding the need for expensive
development in future
The coal reserves cover the entire project site,
save for the south-west corner where the
processing plant is to be located
Simple mining and processing routes with highly
competitive contractor market.
Ability to work multiple faces in the pit to ensure
ROM supply.
Secure title, with a pro-mining culture and
attractive tax regime.
No restrictions on earnings repatriation.
