Market Update
Resource Generation Limited (ASX:RES/JSE:RSG)(Company) provides the following
market update.
Mine Development Funding
The Company recently announced the execution of a Bilateral Senior Loan Facility
Agreement (ASX Announcement: 16 April 2018) between the Industrial Development
Corporation of South Africa Limited (IDC) and its subsidiary Ledjadja Coal (Pty) Ltd. The
IDC is the first party of the proposed mine development funding syndicate (Syndicate) to
secure credit committee approval.
In the Quarterly Activities Report released on 30 April 2018, the Company noted a minor
slippage in the credit approval process for one of the remaining two Syndicate members
and a delay to the proposed board meeting for considering finalised credit approved term
sheets from the Syndicate.
At a board meeting held overnight in South Africa, Management provided a briefing on the
status of the two remaining credit approvals. Whilst both of these parties have confirmed
ongoing commitment to funding of the Boikarabelo Project, one of these parties has
requested further information before proceeding with their process. The additional
information requested revolves principally around (i) mitigation of counterparty credit risk
exposures during the period that Noble Group Limited (Noble) finalises its restructure
plans; and (ii) the specific plans to secure working capital for the ramp-up of the mine.

Whilst this further delay is unfortunate, the Board believes that these concerns can be
addressed in a timely manner and has set the objective of resolving these with the lender
by the end of the month. This will then enable the credit approval process to proceed in
June 2018.
In relation to the first matter raised by this lender, Noble has agreed to work with all parties
to identify a mutually acceptable mitigation strategy.
In relation to the second matter raised, the Company previously indicated (ASX
Announcement: 15 November 2017) that ramp-up working capital required in the period
leading up to ‘first coal’ would be raised at a point where the Project has been substantially
de-risked. The Company believes that this is still a reasonable assumption but will work
with this lender to provide further comfort on how this will be achieved.
At this time the Board believes that it is not prudent to set a timetable beyond satisfying
the additional information request and will keep the market informed in accordance with its
continuous disclosure obligations.
Noble has communicated to the Board its willingness to consider a request to cover any
working capital shortfall arising from this further delay and the Company is appreciative of
this ongoing support.
Rail Link Funding
The Company has been able to identify a number of parties interested in funding the
required rail link for the Project. The most advanced proposal is going through an internal
credit approval process and if approved, a short due diligence exercise will be initiated.
On behalf of the Board
