made known that Wescoal filed a notice of motion in respect of an urgent        
application to set aside the Sutha Civils (Pty) Ltd ("Sutha") application for   
the winding up of a subsidiary of Wescoal, Wescoal Mining (Pty) Ltd ("Wescoal   
Mining").                                                                       
Shareholders are advised that the North Gauteng High Court granted an order in  
favour of Wescoal and Wescoal Mining against Sutha on 2 August 2011. The order  
sets aside Sutha`s application for the winding up of Wescoal Mining, with costs 
on the attorney and own client scale. There was no representative of, or counsel
for, Sutha present at the hearing.
