ASX Announcement
Coal Offtake Agreement
The Company, through its subsidiary, Ledjadja Coal Pty Ltd (LCL), has today signed an
agreement with Noble Resources International Pte Ltd (Noble) for the supply of additional
uncontracted coal to be produced from the Boikarabelo mine (Uncontracted Tonnage Offtake
Agreement).
As announced on 14 March 2017, as part of the extension of the Facility Agreement dated 3
March 2014 the Company agreed to restate the existing domestic offtake and coal marketing
agreements it has with Noble and its related bodies corporate, and grant Noble a first right of
refusal to purchase any additional uncontracted coal to be produced from the mine.
The terms of the agreement were to be agreed by 30 June 2017, failing which they were to be
on the same terms as the Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Boikarabelo Thermal Coal
dated 31 December 2012 (and restated on 28 March 2013) (Noble Export Offtake
Agreement). By letters of agreement between Noble and LCL the date to agree the terms was
extended from 30 June 2017 to 11 December 2017 to allow for completion of the negotiation
process.
The key terms of the Uncontracted Tonnage Offtake Agreement are set out below:
. LCL has agreed to offer to sell and deliver to Noble:
o for years 1 to 3, a committed quantity of 800,000 tonnes of coal per annum,
plus up to 300,000 tonnes of coal per annum as advised by LCL to Noble on a

Agreement is subject to LCL having sufficient contracted rail and port capacity to
deliver the tonnages (taking account of LCL's existing commitments).
The Uncontracted Tonnage Offtake Agreement is otherwise on the same terms as the Noble
Export Offtake Agreement.
Performance of the Uncontracted Tonnage Offtake Agreement is subject to receipt of relevant
regulatory/shareholder approvals. The Company intends to consult with ASX regarding what
shareholder approvals (if any) it may require and will update the market in due course.
