Resgen to acquire new coal tenements

Resgen, which is developing one of South Africa’s largest
remaining coal deposits, announced earlier this year that it had agreed to a put option
under which it could acquire further coal tenements from Exxaro Resources. Exxaro has
exercised the put option, which is subject to approval by the Department of Mineral
Resources (DMR) under Section 11 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources
Development Act, 2002.

The coal tenements are contiguous to the company’s existing tenements and are
highlighted in red on the map above, including Swelpan and Kleinpan which land is
owned by Resource Generation. The consideration payable is not material to the
company’s existing cash reserves and is not due to be paid until the DMR has approved
the transfer to Ledjadja, Resource Generation’s BEE subsidiary. From prior experience
with Section 11 approvals, this process is not likely to be completed before mid-2013.

Should the DMR approve the transfer, the Boikarabelo mine will increase its total
resources by 31%*. The following table reflects resources and reserves, excluding 50%
for shale content, after the transfer.
