ANNOUNCEMENT 21 June 2019
COOPERATION AGREEMENT SIGNED WITH HAOHUA ENERGY INTERNATIONAL (HONG KONG)
MC Mining Limited (“MC Mining”) is pleased to announce the signing of a co-operation agreement
with Haohua Energy International (Hong Kong) (“HEI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Shanghai-listed
Beijing Haohua Energy Resource Co. Limited, the largest exporter of anthracite coal from China.
The original cooperation agreement between the parties was signed in 2013. However, the
introduction of new shareholders during the last six years resulted in HEI not maintaining the required
19.9% shareholding in MC Mining and the agreement subsequently lapsed. The revised 2019
cooperation agreement aligns HEI’s threshold with other substantial shareholders eligible to have a
board seat and the company will need to maintain an interest of at least 5.4% to have the right to
nominate a potential director to the MC Mining board. Mr Shangren Ding is HEI’s current
representative and will remain on the board as their nominee.
MC Mining believes it is important to maintain the relationship with HEI in order to benefit from their
substantial knowledge, and the cooperation agreement facilitates a long-term mutually beneficial
strategic partnership. The agreement includes details on the commercial, technical, financial and
operational issues pursuant to which MC Mining will be able to draw on HEI's technical expertise.
Furthermore, HEI will assist and use its best endeavours to arrange further funding in the development
of the MC Mining's substantial coking coal assets.
