KEATON ENERGY DECLARES 25.9 MILLION TONNE COAL RESERVE FOR DELMAS PROJECT       
Keaton Energy has declared a 25.9 million tonne coal reserve for its 74%-held   
Delmas Project in South Africa`s Mpumalanga Province - 24.3 million tonnes in   
the proved category and 1.6 million tonnes in the probable category.            
The declaration is contained in an updated SAMREC-compliant Reserve and Resource
Statement released by the company following further exploration drilling on the 
project and the completion of a feasibility study.                              
The feasibility study found that, after the application of modifying factors,   
the majority of the shallow bituminous coal of the No. 5, No. 4 and No. 2 Seam  
resource could be converted to a reserve.                                       
The updated mineable in situ coal resource estimate for the project is 163.4    
million tonnes; inclusive of the 25.9 million tonne reserve.                    
Keaton Energy Managing Director Paul Miller said: "The conversion of coal       
resource to coal reserve is very significant; it shows that the project is      
robust and it takes us a major step towards bringing Delmas into production."
