ANNOUNCEMENT                                            3 September 2018

                        MAKHADO PROJECT REGULATORY PROGRESS

MC Mining Limited (“MC Mining” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce
further progress at its fully permitted Makhado hard coking and
thermal coal project (“Makhado Project” or “Makhado”), located in the
Limpopo province in South Africa.

MC Mining’s subsidiary, Baobab Mining & Exploration (Pty) Ltd, the
owner and developer of the Makhado Project, applied to both the
Department of Mineral Resources (“DMR”) and the Limpopo Department of
Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (“LEDET”) during January
2018 for an amendment to Makhado’s 2016 Environmental Authorisation
(“EA”). The requirement for the EA amendment arose on completion of
the revised Makhado Project plan, whereby saleable coal will be
transported to the Musina rail siding by road rather than rail.

The Company is pleased to announce that LEDET has granted the EA
amendment for Makhado. Stakeholders may appeal this amendment and any
appeal will result in the suspension of the LEDET’s authorisation. MC
Mining will address this with the regulatory authorities if
applicable.

David Brown, CEO commented:
“The decision by LEDET reinforces the government’s support for Makhado
and the project’s potential to contribute to socio-economic
development in the area. We await the record of decision from the DMR
and have commenced the process to obtain surface rights access in
terms of South African mining legislation.”
