     ASX Announcement

                                                                          Market Update
     Resource Generation Limited (ASX:RES) (Resgen or Company) would like to provide
     an update on the funding status of its Boikarabelo Coal Mine in the Waterberg, South
     Africa.

     In the latest Quarterly Activities Report (ASX Release: 31 July 2018) the Company
     advised that there had been an unexpected delay in securing the credit approval from
     one of the members of the proposed lending syndicate (Syndicate). The Company was
     informed by the Lender’s Deal Team that the delay related to a broad-based internal
     review of the Lender organisation’s ESG investment criteria. Actions agreed by
     Resgen’s Board at the time were to intensify engagement with this Lender given the
     advanced status of the submission and at the same time to trigger a contingency plan
     based on interest that had been expressed by third parties.

     Engagement with this Lender continues and the Company remains focused on working
     with the Syndicate to achieve final approvals as soon as practically possible. However,
     the uncertainty associated with having no control over the timeframes makes it
     imperative for the Board to explore interest expressed by third parties. Early indications
     are that it may be possible, subject to due diligence, to structure involvement by a third
     party as a substitute funder in the Syndicate or as a complementary participant in the
     Syndicate

     The Company plans to continue pursuing a tandem approach to finding a funding
     solution but would like to flag that further delays are now likely, particularly where due
     diligence activities associated with a potential new participant need to be
     accommodated.
