Notes
1          The quarterly report provides a basis for informing the market how the entity’s
           activities have been financed for the past quarter and the effect on its cash position.
           An entity wanting to disclose additional information is encouraged to do so, in a note
           or notes attached to this report.

2          The “Nature of interest” (items 6.1 and 6.2) includes options in respect of interests in
           mining tenements acquired, exercised or lapsed during the reporting period. If the
           entity is involved in a joint venture agreement and there are conditions precedent
           which will change its percentage interest in a mining tenement, it should disclose the
           change of percentage interest and conditions precedent in the list required for items
           6.1 and 6.2.

3          Issued and quoted securities The issue price and amount paid up is not required in
           items 7.1 and 7.3 for fully paid securities.

4          The definitions in, and provisions of, AASB 1022: Accounting for Extractive Industries
           and AASB 1026: Statement of Cash Flows apply to this report.

5          Accounting Standards ASX will accept, for example, the use of International
           Accounting Standards for foreign entities. If the standards used do not address a
           topic, the Australian standard on that topic (if any) must be complied with.

Note 7.1: Tenements are the subject of a joint venture (JV) arrangement with Barrick (PD)
          Australia Limited. On 28 August 2012, Barrick confirmed it had met certain criteria
          required to earn a 60% interest in the tenements, reducing CoAL’s interest to a fully
          diluted position of 9.47% in respect to the Kanowna West JV and 8.52% in respect to
          the Kalbara JV.
