            APPOINTMENT OF MS BRENDA BERLIN AS CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER



Coal of Africa Limited (“CoAL” or “the Company”) which operates in South Africa, is pleased to announce the
appointment of Ms Brenda Berlin, as Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Ms Berlin will replace Mr De Wet Schutte
who has notified the board of his decision to resign his position as Finance Director with effect from 30
November 2017 to pursue personal endeavours. Ms Berlin will join the Company on 1 March 2018 and it is
the intention that she will join the Board of directors during the course of 2018.

Ms Berlin joins from Impala Platinum Holdings Limited (“Impala”), where she held the position of Group CFO.
Ms Berlin joined Impala in 2004 and held a number of senior appointments including head of the group
corporate finance activities until her appointment as CFO in 2011 where she worked closely with CoAL’s
David Brown, who was CEO of Impala at the time.

Ms Berlin, is a chartered accountant who obtained a degree from the University of the Witwatersrand and
completed her articles with Price Waterhouse Coopers.

Prior to working with Impala, Ms Berlin worked for Johnnic Holdings Limited in the corporate finance
department and, following its unbundling, remained with JCI Limited ("JCI") assuming responsibility for
business development. After leaving JCI, she commenced working for Southern Mining Corporation Limited.

Bernard Pryor, CoAL’s Chairman commented:

“On behalf of the Board of Directors, I’m delighted to have Brenda join the Company, in what will be vital
period over the next 12 months. Brenda is highly regarded in the sector and brings a wealth of financial and
mining experience, having been CFO of Impala, one of the world’s largest platinum miners, for the past six
years. Notwithstanding, the recently approved name change to MC Mining Limited, we are entering a new
chapter for the Company as we look to finalise the development funding for our flagship Makhado project.
“The entire Board would also like to wish De Wet well in his future career and thank him for his contributions
to Coal of Africa.”
