ANNOUNCEMENT                                                              4 September 2020


FURTHER ENCOURAGING SUPPORT FOR MC MINING


MC Mining Limited (“MC Mining” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the conclusion of a
Subscription Agreement (the "Agreement”) with Columbia Skies Holdings Proprietary Limited (“CSH”).
CSH is wholly-owned by Mr Pitso Madibo, a black industrialist, and the Agreement will result in CSH
subscribing for 7,831,785 ordinary MC Mining shares (the “CSH Shares”). The Agreement is conditional
upon South African Reserve Bank approval, an administrative process, and is anticipated during
September 2020.


The CSH Shares will be allotted in terms of the Company’s ASX approved capacity and subject to
Reserve Bank approval, will be issued at a 10% discount to the 30-day JSE VWAP to 1 September 2020,
being R1.27/share. The issue of the CSH Shares will raise approximately R10.0 million ($0.6 million*)
for MC Mining and will result in CSH having a 4.8% interest in the Company. These funds will be used
for general working capital requirements as well as progressing the Company’s flagship Makhado hard
coking coal project (“Makhado Project” or “Makhado”).


Application will be made for the admission of the 7,831,785 new ordinary shares to trading on AIM,
the ASX and the JSE and an announcement will be made in due course. Following admission of the
New Equity, the Company will have 162,251,340 ordinary shares in issue. This figure can be used as
the denominator for calculations by which shareholders determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company, under the ASX Listing Rules or the DTRs.


Brenda Berlin, MC Mining’s Acting CEO, commented: “MC Mining previously secured a R245 million
($14.8 million) loan from the Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa Limited, a critical
component in the Makhado Phase 1 debt/equity funding structure. We have made significant progress
subsequent to the lifting of the COVID-19 lockdown and are in discussions with various potential
funders for the balance of the Phase 1 funding. The investment by CSH ensures we have the necessary
resources to be able to complete the composite funding package, anticipated to be by the end of
CY2020, as well as providing working capital for the initial period of construction in H1 CY2021.”
