Quarterly Report for the three months ended 30 June 2015

 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.

Debt funding
Negotiations with various parties including a club of potential financiers to provide project
finance for the construction of the Boikarabelo mine continued during the quarter. The
process in reaching an agreed term sheet has been protracted due to several factors including
the variable nature of the envisaged loan structure and maintaining deliverable outcomes
within prevailing debt and coal markets. It is proposed that if this facility proceeds the
existing loan from Noble Group will become part of the above facility.

Expectations are that the project finance will provide all required remaining funding for the
mine construction. Consequently, if the proposed facility is made available, the Company
does not envisage the need for an associated equity raising.

While this protracted process is on-going, the company continues to explore alternate debt
funding arrangements to maximise the chance of finalising the successful development of the
Boikarabelo mine.

Boikarabelo mine construction
Several items of construction of the mine’s infrastructure continued during the quarter, while
project debt funding was being negotiated. Major construction activities can commence after
project funding is finalised. The items that occurred during the quarter were:
    .   power supply infrastructure; and
    .   13 kilometres of water pipeline associated with the effluent treatment plant.
EHL Energy (Pty) Limited completed the erection of power poles and transmission lines for
the 132kV power supply. Construction of the substation and switch room commenced and is
scheduled for completion by October 2015. The power supply infrastructure is funded by a
deferred payment facility.
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. Earthworks were
previously completed for a 13 kilometre section of the pipeline adjacent to a main road.
Installation of pipes was completed during the quarter and testing is close to completion.
 Photos of Section of 13 km pipeline, Sub-station and Switch Room Construction in Background are on the website.




As previously announced, 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. Sales contracts have been signed that underwrite most of
stage 1 production.

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.
The company is in the process of relinquishing PR720/2007, over the properties Lisbon and
Zoetfontein, as these are distant from the Boikarabelo site and contain minimal resources that
have not been included in the stated JORC resource.

Corporate
Cash reserves at 30 June 2015 were $28.6 million.

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 6: Exploration for and Evaluation of
Mineral Resources and AASB 107: Statement of Cash Flows apply to this report.

5       Accounting Standards ASX will accept, for example, the use of International
Financial Reporting 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.
