Quarterly Report
for the three months ended 30 June 2016
Resource Generation Limited (the “Company”) is developing its Boikarabelo coal mine in
the Waterberg region of South Africa. This region accounts for 40% of the country’s
remaining identified coal resources. There are probable reserves of 744.8* million tonnes
of coal on 35% of the tenements under the Company’s control (ASX/JSE announcement:
16 December 2010). Stage 1 of the mine development targets saleable coal production of
6 million tonnes per annum.
Project
The work of the Technical Committee, established by the Board in December 2015 to review
all aspects of the project, has now been substantially completed. A new execution strategy has
been adopted that will reduce the capital cost of the project and reduce risk through the
appointment of established EPC contractors with good track records and substantial balance
sheets. A new mining plan has been developed which will maximize recovery of the coal
deposit by mining all seams and minimize out-of-pit dumping of waste, resulting in increased
productivity and reduced operating costs. All efforts at the mine are now being directed towards
having the project ready for mobilization of the first of the EPC contractors in Q4 2016.
EPC Contractors
A Heads of Agreement was concluded with Sedgman Limited (ASX/JSE Announcement: 6
May 2016) for the procurement and construction of the coal handling plant for a lump sum
fixed price of US$141 million. This represents a substantial saving over the previously
announced estimate of US$200 million.
A Request for Information was issued to seven established mining contract companies in March
2016. All seven responded and a Request for Proposal was delivered to a short list of three
candidates at the beginning of June 2016 with the appointment of the mining contractor
expected during July 2016.
Chief Operations Officer
Mr Zirk van der Bank was appointed as COO of Ledjadja Coal, the main operating subsidiary
(ASX/JSE Announcement: 3 June 2016). Mr van der Bank is an experienced mining engineer
with more than 20 years' experience in the coal mining industry. He has held a range of
supervisory and management positions at Sasol Mining, Moolman Mining, Shanduka Coal and
Glencore Coal SA.
Project Funding
Page 1 of 8
Resource Generation Limited
Quarterly Report to 30 June 2016
Further progress has been made towards securing the requisite debt funding to complete
construction of the project. The base case financial model (“BCFM”) has now been completed
by the lead arranger and, based on the information contained in the BCFM, the project is
believed to be fundable without recourse to the shareholders for further equity.
Development of a preferred capital structure is at an advanced stage and is currently being
negotiated with all members of the debt club referred to in previous quarterly reports. The
Board remains confident that the Company is on course to finalize the debt funding so that the
balance of construction may commence during the last quarter of 2016.
In parallel with the proposed debt club funding, the Company is investigating a high level offer
of funding received from a source in the United States.
Cash reserves as at 30 June 2016 were $A12.0 million.
IPP
A concept feasibility study for a 300MW coal fired power station (“IPP”) has been received
and reviewed. There is a very compelling economic case for a mouth-of-mine IPP with sale of
the electricity produced to the national utility or a private offtaker. The study does however
indicate that 300MW IPP is not optimal and that 450MW or 600MW presents a more
compelling economic case. This option is now being investigated.
Infrastructure arrangements
Negotiations with Transnet Freight Rail concerning the tariff, access to Richards Bay Coal
Terminal and construction of the rail link are proceeding in a very positive manner. An early
resolution of these issues is expected.
Mining tenements
The coal mining rights and exploration tenements held at the end of the quarter were as follows:
. 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.
The Mining Right Application for Kubu, adjacent to Boikarabelo, was lodged at the end of
2015. Kubu was previously known as Waterberg No 1 and encompasses the farm Koert Louw
Zyn Pan (PR678/2007).
