TSX: FMCHistorical Coal Prices

• South African thermal coal (Richard’s Bay terminal) and coking coal prices have increased significantly

over the last several months

• The recovery to 2008 levels have been driven by increased demand, particularly from China and India,

and higher cost supply from key producing nations such as Russia and the U.S.

TSX: FMCThermal Coal Global Overview

• Significant upside potential to export prices

• A tightening of the global seaborne market in late 2010 provided the initial base for thermal coal to rise

• Robust import demand from India

• Growing imports into China due to increasing demand and production curtailments

• Slowing export supply growth from Indonesia as more coal is diverted for domestic use

• Short-term supply constraints caused by flooding in Australia

• Australia is the second-largest exporter of bituminous coal

• Wood Mackenzie stated that prices could exceed 2008 highs
