QUARTERLY COMMENTARY

Uitkomst Colliery – Utrecht Coalfields (91% owned – 70% post BEE transaction)

At the end of the June 2017 quarter the Company acquired a 91% interest in the Uitkomst Colliery, with the
remaining 9% held by broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (“BEE”) trusts, including employees and
communities. The Uitkomst Colliery employs approximately 520 employees (including contractors) and
reported no LTI’s during the Quarter.

Uitkomst is a high grade thermal export quality coal deposit with metallurgical applications, comprising an
existing underground coal mine and a planned life of mine (“LoM”) extension. The Uitkomst Colliery has the
required environmental and social permits in place and a remaining 17 years LoM. The colliery currently
mines the south adit (horizontal shaft) and has applied for an amendment of its Integrated Water Use Licence
(“IWUL”) to include an adit to the north for its LoM extension. Uitkomst comprises well established
infrastructure including a processing plant, power and water supplies, buildings, workshops, weighbridge and
water storage facilities.

The south adit comprises two underground sections and during the Quarter Uitkomst mined through two
dykes in section 2, adversely affecting production but with October 2017 production much improved the
colliery expects to rectify the shortfall during the next two quarters. The colliery generated 125,108t of run of
mine (“RoM”) coal during the Quarter resulting in sales of 80,677t while slurry processed at the wash plant
yielded sales of 36,489t. RoM coal purchased from nearby collieries and sold directly after blending added
sales of 48,266t. The additional costs incurred to mine through the dykes resulted in mining costs per tonne
being higher than anticipated.

Uitkomst sells sized coal (peas) products and the 0 to 40mm product is sold into the domestic metallurgical
market for use as pulverised coal while peas produced at the colliery are supplied to local energy generation
facilities. Uitkomst’s marketing strategy ensures that it is positioned to take advantage of higher international
coal prices and weakening of the South African Rand.

The unaudited numbers below are extracted from Uitkomst’s management accounts for the Quarter.

In order to meet the requirements of the South African Mining Charter, the Company is in the process of
selling an additional 21% interest in Uitkomst to BEE shareholders at the same value CoAL acquired the
colliery. The sale will be on a vendor financed basis.


Makhado Coking Coal Project – Soutpansberg Coalfield (95% owned - 69% post BEE transaction)

The Makhado Project recorded no LTIs (FY2017 Q4: nil) during the Quarter.

CoAL remains committed to the sustainable development of the Makhado Project recognising its potential to
drive significant socio-economic transformation, seeking co-operation between mining, agriculture and
heritage land uses. The regulatory processes governing mining are complex and time consuming and the
Company has secured a New Order Mining Right (“NOMR”), IWUL and, an Environmental Authorisation
(“EA”) for the Makhado Project, ensuring it has the required permits to commence construction. The Company
requires access to the key Lukin and Salaita farms to confirm geotechnical information prior to the
construction of Makhado, and final resolution of this matter remains outstanding.

CoAL strives to unlock near-term shareholder value from its flagship Makhado Project and this resulted in an
assessment of the 2013 Makhado Project Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”). During the Quarter the CoAL
Directors approved the revised Makhado development plan resulting in reduced capital expenditure, a shorter
construction period leading to earlier than planned production, an extended LoM and, an amended sales and
marketing strategy. Makhado Lite is expected to deliver similar, positive internal rate of return despite the
proposed lower output and required updates to costs used in the DFS, with proposals for full mining services
sourced from various contract mining companies while turnkey processing plant construction and operating
quotes were obtained from potential service providers. The Makhado Lite model uses the same Resource and
Reserves as the DFS and anticipates hard coking coal yields of 19.0% (DFS: 18.8%) and thermal coal yields
of 25.1% (DFS: 25.8%).

The DFS development plan envisaged a 26-month construction phase followed by a four month ramp-up to
produce 5.5 million tonnes per annum (“mtpa”) of saleable hard coking and thermal coal. The capital required
to complete this was $281 million ($406 million before foreign exchange fluctuations) while estimated peak
funding to develop Makhado Lite will be between $90 million and $110 million with a project payback period of
four years. The revised strategy anticipates that Makhado Lite will be constructed in 12 months and allows for
future expansion of mining and processing if appropriate. It is anticipated that the project will produce
approximately 1.7 mtpa of saleable coal, comprising 0.7 mtpa to 0.8 mtpa of hard coking coal and 0.9 mtpa to
1.0 mtpa of export quality thermal coal. The DFS envisaged supplying thermal coal to Eskom, the state power
utility, while Makhado Lite will generate export quality thermal coal which could be sold internationally. The
Company has commenced hard coking and export thermal coal off-take discussions with various parties and
expects that a substantial portion of Makhado’s hard coking coal will be sold locally with the balance sold on
international markets.

The table below compares the results of the original Makhado Project (as per the DFS) with Makhado Lite.

Mooiplaats Thermal Coal Colliery – Ermelo Coalfield (74% owned)
The Mooiplaats Colliery remained on care and maintenance throughout the Quarter. No LTIs were recorded
during the period (FY2017 Q4: nil).

The continued commitment to delivering a successful Mooiplaats Colliery sale transaction resulted in the
Company signing sales agreements post the end of the Quarter. The suspensive conditions related to the
sales transaction are expected to be completed during Q2 FY2018 and will result in 100% of the Mooiplaats
Colliery equity and claims being disposed of for R179.9 million ($13.3 million).


Vele Coking and Thermal Coal Colliery – Limpopo (Tuli) Coalfield (100% owned)

The Vele Colliery remained on care and maintenance throughout the Quarter and no LTIs were recorded
during the period (FY2017 Q4: nil).

CoAL awaits the granting of an IWUL by the Department of Water & Sanitation, the final approval required to
complete the regulatory approvals process for the stream diversion in respect of future mining. Once all
regulatory approvals are in place, the Company will be in a position to consider prevailing market pricing and
the ability to finalise profitable off-take agreements in order to conclude an investment decision on the
requisite plant modifications.


Greater Soutpansberg Project (MbeuYashu) (74% owned)

The MbeuYashu Projects recorded no LTIs (FY2017 Q4: nil) during the three months.

No further developments to report during the Quarter.


Corporate

CoAL continues to restructure its balance sheet to ensure overheads are appropriately controlled and the
Company is well positioned to unlock shareholder value. This resulted in the acquisition of the Uitkomst
Colliery during the previous quarter, CoAL Board approval for Makhado Lite during the Quarter and, the sale
of the Mooiplaats Colliery at the end of September 2017. CoAL is reviewing potential second cash generator
prospects as well as the disposal of further non-core assets and a rationalisation of bourses on which it is
listed.

CoAL was considered an appropriate name as it defined the Company’s geographic and operational focus
and it is the view of the present Board that the Company re-brand to reflect its potential growth, particularly of
its hard coking coal (metallurgical coal) prospects. The Directors also believe that the settlement of all material
legacy issues presents an opportunity to better endorse the Company to the wider investment community. As
a result, it is proposed that Coal of Africa Limited’s name be changed to ‘MC Mining Limited’ and has
requested shareholders pass a special resolution at the 24th November 2017 AGM, adopting the Company’s
new name.

The Company has a disproportionately large number of shares in issue due to historical equity-based capital
raisings and this is a disincentive for institutional investors to invest in CoAL as their mandates inhibit them
from investing in stocks where unit prices are too low. As a result, the Company’s Directors have
recommended that shareholders approve 20 for one consolidation of the Company’s issued capital at the
November AGM.

Markets

The hard coking coal price continued to increase during the Quarter due to short term supply constraints
owing to adverse weather and infrastructure constraints. The current international price movement underpins
the tightness of world supply and, as such, is positive for longer term pricing. Thermal coal prices have also
reflected more positive fundamentals in the short term with the API4 index increasing 16% during the Quarter
to approximately $95/t due to increased international demand.

David Brown, CEO commented:

“I am pleased to report on another extremely positive Quarter for CoAL as we integrated the Uitkomst Colliery
into our portfolio and advanced the sale of the non-core Mooiplaats Colliery, resulting in its disposal at the end
of September 2017. The Uitkomst acquisition transformed CoAL into a coal producer and we are now well
positioned to take advantage of higher global coal prices. The Company is currently assessing Uitkomst’s coal
marketing options to maximise returns given the upward trend in export coal prices.”


“The review of the Makhado Project resulted in the Company’s Directors approving the Makhado Lite Project.
Makhado’s rationalised production profile significantly reduces execution risk and will ensure that CoAL’s
flagship project is brought into production faster than previously anticipated with a lower capital expenditure.
The Makhado Lite Project has the requisite regulatory approvals and the Company is working to secure
access to two key properties that allows us to complete the confirmatory geotechnical work required before
construction commences to ensure the project footprint is appropriately positioned. The Company anticipates
that this will be resolved in either late H1 FY2018 or early H2 FY2018 with construction following in H1
FY2019. The accelerated build-plan positions Makhado to be able to take advantage of higher hard coking
and thermal coal prices, delivering positive returns for shareholders in the near-term.”
