Quarterly Report
for the three months ended 31 December 2014
Resource Generation is developing its Boikarabelo coal mine in the Waterberg region
of South Africa, which accounts for 40% of the country’s remaining coal resources.
There are probable reserves of 744.8* million tonnes of coal on 35% of the tenements
under the company’s control (refer ASX announcement dated 16 December 2010).
Stage 1 of the mine development targets saleable coal production of 6 million tonnes
per annum.
Boikarabelo mine construction
Construction of the mine’s infrastructure continued during the quarter, while debt funding
was being finalised, in order to shorten the overall construction time. This included:
. construction camp for up to 1,320 persons;
. rail link bridges;
. power supply infrastructure;
. construction office complex;
. rail network stabilisation facility (NSF);
. earthworks relating to the construction offices, power supply and the NSF;
. permanent water supply infrastructure; and
. 13 kilometres of water pipeline adjacent to public roads.
At the construction camp, services, kitchen and dining facilities have been installed for 1,320
people. Accommodation units have been installed to allow 400 persons to take up immediate
occupation.
Construction of the first three bridges (total of seven) under and over the rail line was
completed, with some remaining punch list items being completed during January.
EHL Energy (Pty) Limited commenced erecting power poles for the 132kv power
transmission lines. Earthworks for the substation and switch room were completed, and their
construction, which is funded by a deferred payment facility, is scheduled for completion by
October 2015.
The construction offices were completed and site personnel moved in prior to Christmas.
Earthworks for the NSF were substantially completed, and final drainage and retaining walls
are being finished in January. The rail turnouts and associated signalling will be installed
mid-year.
Permanent water supply infrastructure was completed, including holding tanks and pumping
facilities, initially from the main borehole on Zeekoevley. This will be used during
construction of the mine and later will become one of the main water sources for mine
operations.
The Marapong effluent treatment facility in Lephalale and the 58 kilometre pipeline to
Boikarabelo are an integral part of the mine’s social and labour plan, and earthworks were
completed for a 13 kilometre section of the pipeline adjacent to a main road. Pipes were
delivered and are being installed during the current quarter.
Other than finalisation of the bridges and NSF earthworks during January, the only site
construction during the March 2015 quarter will be power infrastructure and the 13 kilometre
section of pipeline. Other activities have been deferred until debt funding is finalised.
All regulatory consents have been received, all necessary land has been acquired and rail
haulage and port access contracts sufficient for the mine’s stage 1 production have been
signed. As mentioned below, contracts have been signed that underwrite most of stage 1
production.
Coal handling and preparation plant (CHPP)
A construction management contract was signed during the quarter for the management of
on-site mechanical and electrical installations for the CHPP. This contract is with FLSmidth
Roymec (Pty) Limited, the South African black economic empowerment subsidiary of
FLSmidth & Co, the leading supplier of complete plants, equipment and services for the
global minerals industry. Commencement of fabrication and supply is conditional on
completion of debt funding. All detailed designs and specifications have been completed.
Mobile equipment
A supply agreement was also signed during the quarter with Komatsu Southern Africa Pty
Ltd for the supply of mobile equipment for mining operations. This is supported by a loan
facility of up to US$113 million by Komatsu Financial Limited Partnership for the full cost
of the mobile equipment fleet. The agreements will not be activated until the balance of the
debt required to complete project construction has been secured.
Debt funding
Management has continued to pursue debt funding of approximately $400 million required to
complete construction of site infrastructure and the rail link. Although negotiations have been
protracted, their continuation indicates that all parties seek to agree a structure that provides
the funding. Noble Group’s loans, which have been announced previously, may form part of
a consortium’s debt finance.
Offtake contracts
Three long-term export offtake contracts have been entered into with CESC, Valu
Investments and Noble Group. These contracts underwrite most of the forecast revenue from
Boikarabelo’s stage 1 production and a substantial portion of stage 2 production.
A domestic offtake contract for 3.0 million tonnes per annum of middlings coal has been
entered into with Noble Group for the first eight years of production.
The company’s current export coal contracts (in million tonnes per annum) are as follows:
Stage 1 Stage 2
Y1-Y3 Y4-Y7 Y8 Y9-12 Y13-14 Y15-20 Y21-35 Y36-Y38
CESC 1.0 2.0 4.0 4.0 4.0 4.0 4.0 4.0
Noble 0.5 0.5 0.5 1.5 2.0 2.5 2.5
Valu 1.0 1.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0
Total 2.5 3.5 6.5 7.5 8.0 8.5 6.5 4.0
Note. If, as expected, stage 2 production commences earlier, both CESC and Valu tonnages will increase
earlier by 1.0 mtpa.
Mining tenements
The coal mining rights and exploration tenements held at the end of the quarter were as
follows in South Africa (Waterberg):
. MPT15/2012 MR (74%)
. PR720/2007 (74%)
. PR678/2007 (74%)
The company has no interest in farm-in or farm-out agreements.
Corporate
Cash reserves at 31 December 2014 were $37.9 million.
