Quarterly Report
for the three months ended 31 December 2015
Resource Generation Limited (the “Company”) is developing its Boikarabelo coal
mine in the Waterberg region of South Africa. This region accounts for 40% of the
country’s remaining identified coal resources. There are probable reserves of 744.8*
million tonnes of coal on 35% of the tenements under the Company’s control (refer to
the ASX announcement dated 16 December 2010). Stage 1 of the mine development
targets saleable coal production of 6 million tonnes per annum.
Corporate
Following the Company's receipt of a requisition for a General Meeting from Altius Investment
Holdings (Pty) Limited (“Altius”) to replace the Company's board, the Company submitted an
application to the Takeovers Panel seeking a declaration of unacceptable circumstances in
relation to the affairs of the Company with orders that, among other things, the Company's
majority shareholders, Shinto Torii Inc. (a subsidiary of Altius), Noble Group Limited and
Public Investment Corporation SOC Limited, be excluded from voting at the General Meeting.
The Takeovers Panel declined to make such an order and, at the General Meeting held on 26th
November 2015, shareholders approved the election of a new board of directors of the
Company, comprising Denis Gately (Chairman), Lulamile Xate (Deputy Chairman), Colin
Gilligan, Dr Konji Sebati, Leapeetswe Molotsane and Robert Croll. The new board appointed
Rob Lowe as the interim Chief Executive Officer effective 26th November 2015.
On 25th November 2015, the day prior to the General Meeting, the former Managing Director
of the Company approved the retrenchment of all Sydney office staff. In addition, the former
board approved the payment of termination benefits to the two executive directors in their
expectation that their position as directors would be terminated at the General Meeting to be
held the following day. Termination benefits totalling $2,303,504 were paid to the former board
members, executives and staff on the same day. The new board is seeking legal advice in
relation to the payment of the termination benefits.
The new board met in South Africa on 14th December 2015 and subsequently the Chairman
released a board report to shareholders on 16th December 2015 outlining the board’s priorities
with respect to rebuilding the executive team, meeting with potential funders, reviewing the
Boikarabelo mine architecture and evaluating alternative mine operating models.
Cash reserves as at 31 December 2015 were $18.3 million.
Debt funding

Resource Generation Limited
Quarterly Report to 31 December 2015
Immediately following the General Meeting, the interim CEO made contact with the various
funders with whom the Company had been in negotiations during the preceding quarter. A
number of meetings were held with these funders in the period to 31 December 2015 with
discussions due to recommence in January 2016. The top priority of the board is to secure
appropriate funding for the Boikarabelo coal mine project in 2016.
Boikarabelo mine construction
The final stages of the Boikarabelo mine’s early works construction continued during the
quarter while securing of the funding continued. Construction of the bulk transformer yard and
substation that is separately funded by a deferred payment facility was successfully
commissioned by EHL Energy (Pty) Limited. Connection into the Eskom power grid is
scheduled for July 2016. In addition, all switches and signalling installations, including the
construction of the 400 metre permanent way of the Network Stabilisation Facility (“NSF”),
was safely and successfully commissioned. The NSF is now in a position to be used as the
construction access for the rest of the railway line system to the mine.
As previously announced, the Kubu Mining Right along with the Social and Labour Plan were
lodged with the Department of Mineral Resources and the application is currently being
reviewed. The development of the environmental impact assessment is underway and will be
lodged during the next quarter.
Focus on the mine has now shifted from construction to operational readiness as the early works
construction comes to an end.
Mining tenements
The coal mining rights and exploration tenements held at the end of the quarter were as
follows:
. MPT15/2012 MR (74%)
. PR720/2007 (74%)
. PR678/2007 (74%)
The Company has no interest in farm-in or farm-out agreements.
The Company is in the process of relinquishing PR720/2007, over the properties Lisbon and
Zoetfontein, as these are distant from the Boikarabelo site and contain minimal resources that
have not been included in the stated JORC resource.
Yours faithfully

Note 1 A binding term sheet was entered into with the Noble Group for a US$65 million loan for site
infrastructure, but if drawn down would be repayable by 31 March 2016. This is included below at the ASX’s
request, but in practise would not be drawn down as in the Company’s opinion it is not a viable option and the
Company recommends that shareholders should consider it as not available.
Note 2 As disclosed in the Company's 2015 annual report, US$20 million was drawn down as an unsecured
loan from Noble Group in March 2014. It is repayable in quarterly instalments over 8 years commencing in June
2016 and has an annual interest rate of 10.75%.
