                                      Project Update
One of the contractors at the Boikarabelo mine, Protech Kuthele (Pty) Limited (PK), has
notified Resource Generation that it has applied to court to terminate its business rescue
proceedings and be placed in liquidation. PK was undertaking the earthworks for the rail
link, the site infrastructure and the roads. It has removed all staff from the mine site and
terminated all activities. Addressing this unforeseen development is expected to delay
the completion of the project by three to six months, with first coal production now
estimated for the first half of 2016. Based on the previous competitive tender process,
Resource Generation does not expect any difficulty in appointing an alternative
earthworks contractor for a similar cost.

Funding negotiations still continue with proposed debt financiers of the mobile
equipment, the coal handling and preparation plant and the rest of the site infrastructure.
