QUARTERLY COMMENTARY

Makhado Coking Coal Project (“Makhado Project”) – Soutpansberg Coalfield (100% owned - 74% post
BBBEE transaction)

The Makhado Project recorded no LTIs (FY2017 Q2: nil) during the quarter.

Makhado’s 26-month construction phase is expected to begin as soon as all regulatory approvals are in place
(expected during CY2017). This delayed start up reflects the complex environment in which South African
mining companies operate. CoAL remains committed to ensuring that the requisite processes are completed
as efficiently as possible. Post construction, a further four month ramp-up phase will result in the production of
5.5 million tonnes per annum (“Mtpa”) of saleable product.


During FY2016 Q2, the Company was granted a 20-year Integrated Water Use Licence (“IWUL”) for the
Makhado Project. Following an appeal to the DWS submitted by the Vhembe Mineral Resources Forum and
other parties, the IWUL was automatically suspended under Section 148 (2) (b) of the South African National
Water Act No 36 of 1998. Representation has been made to the Minister of Water and Sanitation and the
Water Tribunal to progress the final conclusion of the appeal.


The interim court interdict to halt any mining or construction activity issued against CoAL in respect of
the Makhado Project during Q2 FY2014 remains in place.               Subsequent to this, the Environmental
Authorisation (“EA”) for the Makhado Project was transferred from CoAL to Baobab Mining and Exploration
(Pty) Ltd, the operating entity for the Makhado Project in July 2016 by the Department of Mineral Resources
(“DMR”) and the Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism. The validity
period for the commencement of activities was also further extended for an additional five years. This
authorisation is fully executable and will facilitate the commencement of the Makhado Project upon resolution
of the IWUL.

CoAL has successfully launched the Makhado Centre of Learning which aims to develop skills within
communities to enable access to opportunities offered within the Makhado Project


CoAL remains committed to the sustainable development of the Makhado Project, recognising its potential to
drive significant socio-economic transformation. The Company continues to engage with all stakeholders to
ensure the on-going implementation of a co-existent model, seeking co-operation between mining, agriculture
and heritage land uses.


The Company is in the process of securing the surface rights for the Makhado Project. This process in highly
complicated as current surface rights are subject to land claims and the Company needs to ensure that due
process is followed. The Project is located over five farms.




Mooiplaats Colliery – Ermelo Coalfield (74% owned)

The Mooiplaats thermal coal colliery (“Mooiplaats Colliery”) was placed on care-and-maintenance during Q1
2014, and recorded no LTIs during the period (FY2017 Q2: nil).

Due to the increase in coal pricing over the six months, the Company has experienced renewed interest in the
Mooiplaats Colliery by potential buyers. Interested parties are at various stages of financial assessment and
completion of the due diligence process. The Company is committed to delivering a successful completion of
the sale as soon as possible.




Vele Colliery – Limpopo (Tuli) Coalfield (100% owned)

The Vele coking and thermal coal colliery (“Vele Colliery”) recorded no LTIs during the quarter (FY2017 Q2:
nil).

The IWUL for the Vele Colliery has been renewed for a further 20 years and has also been amended in line
with the requirements for the colliery’s Plant Modification Project (“PMP”).


The DMR has recently granted an EA in terms of the National Environmental Management Act (Act 107 of
1998) and the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations (2014) for Vele Colliery for the diversion of a
stream and associated infrastructural activities.


CoAL awaits the granting of an IWUL by the DWS, which is the final approval required to complete the
regulatory approvals for the stream diversion in respect of the PMP. Once all regulatory approvals are in
place, the Company will be in a position to consider current market pricing and off-take agreements to
conclude on an investment decision favourable to the Company.



Greater Soutpansberg Project (MbeuYashu) (74% owned)
The MbeuYashu Project recorded no LTIs (FY2017 Q2: nil) during the period.


No other significant matters to report.



Acquisition of the Uitkomst Colliery

During the quarter, the Company announced the successful completion of an agreement with Pan African in
which CoAL will acquire 100% of the shares in and claims against Pan African Resources Coal Holdings
Proprietary (“PAR Coal”) for a purchase price of R275 million (US$20.5 million). PAR Coal holds a 91%
shareholding in Uitkomst Colliery Proprietary Limited (“Uitkomst”).


Uitkomst is a high grade thermal export quality coal deposit with metallurgical applications, which is situated in
the Utrecht coalfields in KwaZulu Natal. Uitkomst consists of an existing underground coal mine and a
planned life-of-mine extension. The operating mine is easily accessible and well-established. Existing
infrastructure such as power supply, water supply, buildings, workshops, weighbridge, water storage and
management facilities are all in place. Uitkomst currently employs approximately 520 employees (including
contractors).


Uitkomst had a net asset value of R209 million and made operating profits of R21.3 million for the 6 months
ended 31 December 2016 as disclosed in the interim financial statements of Pan African.


The acquisition price of R275 million will be settled as follows:
    -   R125 million (US$9.3 million) payable in cash (“cash consideration”);
    -   R25 million (US$1.8 million) deferred consideration (“the deferred consideration”). The deferred
        consideration can be repaid by CoAL at any time prior to the 24 month anniversary of the effective
        date of the acquisition. The deferred consideration will bear interest at the prime rate, and shall be
        repaid on the second anniversary of the effective date. CoAL shall be entitled to prepay any amounts
        in respect of the deferred consideration. If not settled after 24 months, the balance outstanding can be
        settled through the issue of new CoAL shares at the 30-day volume weighted average price as traded
        on the JSE on the date immediately prior to the date on which Pan African gives its election. To the
        extent that certain coal bu- in opportunities are not secured by, or with the assistance of Pan African,
        within two years from the effective date, which would result in CoAL suffering a lower economic
        benefit, the deferred consideration may be reduced, subject to a maximum of R15 million; and
    -   261 287 625 newly issued CoAL shares (equivalent to R125 million) equating to approximately 9.3%
        of CoAL’s total issued share capital.
The Company will fund the cash consideration through internal cash resources and proceeds of an aggregate
US$13 million equity investment from Summer Trees Pte Ltd and M&G at a subscription price of R0.52
(US$0.03878) per CoAL share, resulting in the issue of 335 250 000 shares pursuant to agreements with
CoAL.


The implementation of the acquisition is both subject to and conditional on the fulfilment of conditions
precedent customary for a transaction of this nature and includes, inter alia, the following:
    -    CoAL obtaining all of the requisite shareholder, AIM, JSE and ASX approvals to implement the
         acquisition and ancillary transactions;
    -    Uitkomst entering into a supply of coal agreement on terms acceptable to CoAL;
    -    Uitkomst being released, in writing, from its obligations as a guarantor in terms of Pan African facility
         agreements;
    -    Pan African beeing released from its obligations as guarantor from the financial provisions provided to
         the DMR and the guarantee been replaced in a manner and form acceptable to CoAL;
    -    Pan African and CoAL entering into a transitional services agreement;
    -    The approval by the Competition Authorities under the Competition Act; and,
    -    Any exchange control approval which might be required from the Exchange Control Authorities, in
         terms of the Exchange Control Regulations being obtained.



IDC Loan

During the quarter, the Company has entered into a loan agreement with the IDC and Baobab Mining and
Exploration Proprietary Limited ("Baobab"), a subsidiary of CoAL and owner of the mining right for the
Makhado Project, in terms of which the IDC shall advance loan funding of up to R240 million (approximately
US$17.6million) to Baobab for the Makhado Project. The Loan Funding will be used to advance the
operations and implementation of the Makhado Project.


The loan funding is subject to the following conditions:
     - The IDC advancing to Baobab in two equal tranches of R120 million (approximately US$9.2million)
         upon written request from Baobab;
     -   Each Tranche having a three-year repayment period and accruing interest at a real after-tax rate of
         16% per annum;
    -    Subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, CoAL standing surety for Baobab's obligations to
         ensure repayment of the loan amount in instances in which Baobab defaults on such payments;
    -   CoAL issuing to IDC h warrants (in respect of CoAL shares) pursuant to each advance date as soon
        as the relevant shareholder approval for the issue has been received. More details regarding the
        warrants will be provided in due course;
    -   Baobab and CoAL providing the IDC with warranties, representations and undertakings which are
        customary in a loan funding agreement of this nature;
    -   IDC having the right to appoint one director to the Boabab board and to be a member of Makhado
        Project steering committee during the loan repayment period; and
    -   Upon each advance date, Baobab issuing new ordinary shares in Baobab to the IDC, equivalent to
        5% of the entire issued share capital of Baobab at such time. CoAL's shareholding in Baobab will be
        diluted accordingly. Notwithstanding such dilution, CoAL will retain a majority shareholding in Baobab.




Corporate

During the period under review, the Company concluded the previously announced sale of 100% of the issued
share capital in Holfontein Investments (Pty) Ltd to Taung Gold and received the final settlement of R25
million post quarter-end. The Section 11 transfer of the mineral rights was granted by the DMR in late March
2017.



The Company also received confirmation that Fifth Season (Pty) Ltd is in the process of funding its full and
final settlement of the outstanding balance to CoAL regarding the disposal of the previously announced
Opgoedenhoop Mining Right. The Company remains confident that the outstanding balance will be received
in due course. The capital balance outstanding is approximately R15million, including VAT, but excluding
accrued interest.



CoAL has continued to restructure its balance sheet and ensure that it is well positioned to unlock shareholder
value through its flagship Makhado Project. As part of this restructuring, the Company recognised that limited
cash flow will be generated during the Makhado pre-production phase over the next three to four years.
Therefore the Uitkomst acquisition represents a highly compelling and attractive value proposition that CoAL
believes to be value accretive and which will provide cash flows to support CoAL as the Company continues
to progress the Makhado Project. CoAL believes that Uitkomst will complement the Makhado Project and
development project pipeline by:

    -   Creating a sustainable, multi-product mining group, with a skilled team and excellent resources
        adding to the development profile;
    -   Providing positive cash flows from Uitkomst;
    -   Enlarging CoAL’s asset base, which provides a stronger proposition to access the necessary funding
        required to pursue the development of the enlarged group's growth opportunities; and,
    -   Positioning CoAL as a potential industry consolidator, with a management team capable of delivery

As part of the continued balance sheet restructuring, the Company has acquired additional funding from an
anchor shareholder, M&G. An amount of US$2 million was invested during the period and will be used for
working capital. The Company has also successfully converted the majority of the US$10 million loan to
shareholder YBI to equity during the period under review. This conversion has a positive impact on the
Company’s balance sheet and eliminates a large potential future cash outflow. These two transaction resulted
in the issue of an aggregate 289 050 199 shares at an issue price of US$0.04081 per share. The remainder of
the YBI loan will be converted to equity following shareholder approval at the upcoming EGM,

At the end of March 2017, the Company had an outstanding balance owing to Rio Tinto of US$8.4 million,
excluding interest. The Company had a cash balance of US5.1 million, excluding the Holfontein receipt of R25
million (US$1.9 million) as this was only received post quarter-end. The Company is in the process of
concluding its first drawdown of the IDC loan funding which should yield approximately US9.2 million.



Markets

The hard coking price has once again rallied on the back of short term supply constraints owing to disruptions
caused by weather and infrastructure problems. While we do not consider the current prices to be sustainable
in the long term, the current price movement underpins the tightness of world supply and, as such, is positive
for longer term pricing.



David Brown, CEO commented: “The last quarter has been filled with overdue good news for CoAL: the
successful acquisition of the Uitkomst Colliery, securing the IDC funding; and the completion of the Holfontein
Mining Right sale/transfer. The Company is making good progress toward re-entering the market as a coal
producer, while focusing on the timeous funding and finalisation of the regulatory and surface right
requirements for the Makhado Project”.
