Investment Highlights

Positive Scoping Study Completed Scoping study completed on the Hinton Coal Project by Wardrop Engineering Inc. 7.4Mtpa run-of-mine producing 4.0Mtpa saleable coal with a minimum 14 year mine life Low operating costs of US$48.40/t FOB Ridley Island Coal Terminal Low infrastructure and plant costs of US$185 million

Large and Growing Coal Resource Base

Project leverages off existing 1st world underutilised infrastructure Confirmed the potential economic and technical viability of the project

Large and Growing Coal Resource Base JORC / 43-101 Coal Resource of 467Mt - 90% in the Measured and Indicated category 24,638 ha of coal bearing leases with the recent acquisition of crown coal leases Export quality, low sulphur thermal coal suitable for the growing Asian utilities market

World Class Coal Location & Infrastructure Unique position adjacent to the coal mining town of Hinton, Rail, major highway and power infrastructure Development of project not dependant on infrastructure - port and rail have excess capacity Export orientated coal operations have exported from the region to Asia for over 30 years

Strong Board and Management Top tier proven management team with experience in developing listed resource companies
