(“Resource Generation” or the “Company”)
Quarterly Report for the three months ended 30 June 2018
Resource Generation Limited (the “Company” or “Resgen”) is an emerging ASX and JSE-listed
energy company, currently developing the Boikarabelo Coal Mine (“the mine”) in South Africa’s
Waterberg coalfield. The Waterberg coalfield accounts for around 40% of the country’s currently
known coal resources. The Coal Resources and Coal Reserves for the Boikarabelo Coal Mine, held
through the Company’s operating subsidiary Ledjadja Coal, were updated in 2016 based upon a
new mine plan and execution strategy. The Boikarabelo Coal Resources total 995Mt and the Coal
Reserves total 267Mt applying the JORC Code 2012 (ASX Announcement 23 January 2017 - In
accordance with Listing Rule 5.23.2 the Company confirms that it is not aware of any new
information that would impact on the reported Coal Resources and Coal Reserves). Stage 1 of the
mine development targets saleable coal production of 6 million tonnes per annum. Ledjadja Coal
is a Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) subsidiary operating under South Africa’s Broad-based
Black Economic Empowerment Act, Section 9(5): Codes of Good Practice.
Resgen’s primary shareholders are the Public Investment Corporation of South Africa (PIC), Noble
Group and Altius Investment Holdings.
Project Funding
Progress during the quarter
The Company 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 and subsequent market updates
on 10 May and 4 June 2018, the Company noted 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. Whilst both of these
parties have confirmed ongoing commitment to funding of the Boikarabelo Project, one of
these parties requested further information before proceeding with their process. The
additional information requested revolved 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.
In late June 2018, the Company provided a written response to the concerns raised by the
Lender and has received confirmation from the Lender’s Deal Team that the responses to
matters raised were acceptable and would enable completion of the credit approval
submission.

Quarterly Report to 30 June 2018
Subsequent to quarter end
At a meeting held on 27 July 2018 the Board received an update from the Lender’s Deal Team.
It is understood that the credit submission is complete and has the support of the Lender’s
Deal Team, although it is yet to be tabled for credit approval. The Company has been informed
that the delay now relates to a broad-based internal review of the Lender organisation’s ESG
investment criteria.
The Board is concerned about this unexpected delay and has agreed to intensify and facilitate
engagement with this Lender over the coming fortnight given the advanced status of the
submission. In addition, a contingency plan will be triggered given the importance of reaching
financial close without further delay. At this time the Board believes that it is not prudent to
set a timetable for final credit approvals and will keep the market informed in accordance
with its continuous disclosure obligations.
Noble has agreed in principle to extend the working capital facility through to October 2018
as well as extending the due date for commencing repayment – see further detail below.
Rail Link Funding
The Company has been able to identify a number of parties interested in funding the required
rail link for the Project. Due diligence activities and discussions continue with the objective of
securing the offer of credit approved term sheets.
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 grant Noble a first right of refusal to purchase any
additional uncontracted coal to be produced from the mine. The Uncontracted Tonnage
Offtake Agreement was entered into on 11 December 2017 and the Company indicated that
the Agreement was subject to receipt of relevant regulatory approval or failing which
shareholder approval would be required. The required regulatory approval has now been
secured in order for the contract to become effective.
Coal Resources and Coal Reserves Statement at 30 June 2018
The Company has updated the previously released Coal Resources and Coal Reserves
Statement (ASX Announcement 23 January 2017), in particular updating the Waterberg #1
Coal Resources to comply with the JORC Code 2012.
There has been no material change to the previously reported Coal Resources and Coal
Reserves as a result of this update. This is summarised as follows:

2018 Draft Mining Charter
The 2018 Draft Mining Charter was gazetted on 15 June 2018 for comment. A consultation
process with key stakeholders is ongoing and the Company has initiated a review of the
proposed requirements. Resgen supports the South African Minerals Council’s stated
approach to the draft Charter. At this point it would be premature to comment on any
possible impacts on the future operations of the Company.
IPP
Due to current funding constraints, further Resgen studies and preparation of a submission
in anticipation of a further round under the Department of Energy’s (DoE) “Coal Independent
Power Producer Procurement Programme” (Coal IPP) have been put on hold. It is now likely
that this will only be progressed once the mine has been commissioned.
Working Capital Facility
Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, the Company has been in negotiations with Noble
Resources International Pte Ltd for a further extension of funds under the Facility Agreement
of 3 March 2014. This arrangement is currently being finalised and an announcement will be
made at the time of executing an agreement.
Capital Structure and Cash Position
The Company’s summarised capital structure at 30 June 2018 is as follows:
Issued fully paid ordinary shares: 581,380,338
Performance share rights: 5,700,000
Cash at bank: $1.7 million

Quarterly Report to 30 June 2018
Shareholders and potential investors should also review the Company’s 2017 Annual Report,
the audited Financial Report for the year ending 30 June 2017 and the Interim Financial Report
for the six months ending 31 December 2017 to fully appreciate the Company’s financial
position.
Mining Tenements
The coal mining rights and exploration tenements held at the end of the quarter were as
follows:
? MPT 169 MR (74%)
? PR678/2007 (74%)
The Company has no interest in farm-in or farm-out agreements.
The Mining Right Application for Waterberg #1 was lodged at the end of 2015 and the
Company is awaiting the outcome of this process. Waterberg #1 encompasses the farm Koert
Louw Zyn Pan (PR678/2007) and is adjacent to the Boikarabelo Coal Mine.
Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, the Company received confirmation of a closure
certificate issued by the DMR in respect of the Lisbon and Zoetfontein tenements that were
issued under PR720/2007. These tenements were distant from the Boikarabelo Coal Mine
and contained minimal Coal Resources that were not included in the declared JORC Coal
Resources Statement.
