REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

MAKHADO PHASE 1 COAL OFF-TAKES AND DEBT FUNDING SECURED

MC Mining Limited (“MC Mining” or the “Company”) which operates in South Africa, together with its
subsidiaries, hereby provides its update for the three months ended 30 June 2019, the final quarter (the
“Quarter”) of the Company’s 2019 financial year. All figures are denominated in United States dollars unless
otherwise stated1. Safety metrics are compared to the preceding quarter while financial and operational metrics
are measured against the comparable period in the previous financial year. A copy of this report is available on
the Company's website, www.mcmining.co.za.


Salient operational features
•      The various safety initiatives completed at the high-grade Uitkomst metallurgical and thermal coal mine
       (“Uitkomst Colliery” or “Uitkomst”) yielded positive results and no lost-time injuries (“LTIs”) were recorded
       during the Quarter (FY2019 Q3: three LTIs);

•      Revised mining cycles implemented earlier in CY2019 resulted in Uitkomst’s run of mine (“ROM”) coal
       production increasing from the March 2019 period’s 113,190 tonnes (“t”) to 121,742t for the Quarter,
       marginally lower than the comparable FY2018 Q4’s 123,771t;

•      Sales of high-grade metallurgical and thermal coal derived from Uitkomst ROM coal were 75,643t (FY2018
       Q4: 90,509t) with the comparative period’s sales tonnages which were elevated due to delays of sales in
       the March 2018 quarter which then took place in the June 2018 quarter;




1A   ZAR:US$ exchange rate of R14.00:$1.00 has been used to convert all Rand amounts included in this report
•   No sales of high-ash middlings product during the Quarter due to train schedule delays, with inventory of
    over 2,500t at Quarter-end railed to customers early in Q1 FY2020;

•   During the Quarter Uitkomst received a premium above API4 thermal coal prices for its sized coal, resulting
    in average revenue per saleable tonne declining 27% to $71/t (FY2018 Q4: $97/t), a smaller decline than
    the 33% year-on-year reduction in the Richards Bay API4 export price;

•   As expected, no coal was purchased from third parties due to supply contracts expiring in FY2018 (FY2018
    Q4: 13,265t);

•   Conclusion of a hard coking coal (“HCC”) off-take agreement (the “Agreement”) with ArcelorMittal South
    Africa Limited (“AMSA”) for the annual purchase of 350,000t to 450,000t of HCC that will be produced at
    Phase 1 of the Makhado coking coal project (“Makhado Project” or “Makhado”);
•   Thermal coal off-take agreement signed with one of the world’s largest producers and marketers of bulk
    commodities for the purchase of the Makhado Phase 1 by-product;
•   Dismissal of appeals against the Makhado Project Environmental Authorisation (“EA”) amendments,
    facilitating the transport of coal by road rather than rail and reaffirming the project’s permitted status; and
•   Vele semi-soft coking and thermal coal colliery (“Vele Colliery”) remained on care and maintenance during
    the Quarter but the Vele processing plant is expected to be refurbished and recommissioned as part of
    Phase 1 of the Makhado Project.

Corporate and financial features
•   Premium HCC prices averaged $202/t during the Quarter (FY2018 Q4: $188/t) while API4 thermal coal prices
    declined from $100/t in the comparable period to $67/t due to reduced demand;

•   Co-operation agreement signed with Haohua Energy International (Hong Kong) (“HEI”), aligning substantial
    shareholders’ threshold to appoint directors to the MC Mining board;

•   Negotiated settlement of the full outstanding Mooiplaats thermal coal colliery (“Mooiplaats Colliery”) sale
    proceeds resulting in the receipt of $4.1 million during the Quarter, contributing to the available cash at
    Quarter-end of $8.7 million ($4.7 million at the end of March 2019) with restricted cash of $0.03 million;
    and

•   Subsequent to the Quarter-end, the Company received approval by the Industrial Development Corporation
    of South Africa Limited (“IDC”) Credit Committee of a term loan facility of R245 million ($17.5 million), which
    subject to finalisation of documentation, is the initial step in the composite debt and equity funding package
    for the construction of Phase 1 of the Makhado Project.


                                                                                                                 
David Brown, CEO commented:


“The last three months of the 2019 financial year were very successful for the Company and included the
signature of off-take agreements for the Makhado hard coking coal as well the thermal coal by-product. South
Africa produces significant quantities of thermal coal but has very limited quantities of high-quality metallurgical
coal and the off-take with the country’s largest steel producer will result in the majority of Makhado Phase 1’s
coking coal being sold domestically, replacing some coal imports. The development of the Makhado Project will
make MC Mining the pre-eminent South African producer of hard coking coal which trades at a significant
premium to thermal coal and is a key ingredient contributing to the manufacture of steel.


The long-term viability of Makhado’s coking coal is supported by global steel demand that is expected to grow
over the next ten years, with economic development and urbanisation driving increases in per capita steel usage.
Makhado Phase 1 has an internal rate of return in excess 45%, generating significant near-term benefits for
shareholders. The development of the next phase of the project is expected to yield approximately 1.7Mtpa of
saleable coal, including 0.8Mtpa of hard coking coal once in production, with construction anticipated in circa
CY2022 funding and coal market dependent.


The South African government’s dismissal of the appeal against the Makhado EA amendment during the Quarter
reinforces the robustness of the project’s permitting processes while the off-take agreements reaffirmed the
world-class quality of Makhado’s coal and satisfied a key requirement for funders. During July 2019 the IDC’s
Credit Committee approved a term loan facility for Phase 1 of the Makhado Project. Discussions with potential
equity funders for the balance of the Phase 1 funding are ongoing and we anticipate that this process will be
completed in Q3 CY2019, with construction commencing later in the period.

The optimisation of mining cycles at Uitkomst Colliery implemented in the March 2019 quarter yielded positive
results and ROM coal production is very similar to the coal mined in the comparative three-months. Studies for
the north adit extension continued during the Quarter and the development thereof is dependent on the
granting of the water use license and subject to regulatory approvals, the Company anticipates commencing in
early CY2020.”


QUARTERLY COMMENTARY


Uitkomst Colliery – Utrecht Coalfields (70% owned)
                                                                                                                  
Safety continued to be a key focus at Uitkomst and the colliery recorded no LTIs during the Quarter (FY2019 Q3:
three LTIs).

The re-organisation of underground mining operations via the implementation of alternative shift programmes
during the March 2019 quarter yielded improved results and ROM coal production was similar to the comparable
period in the previous financial year (121,742t vs 123,771t) while no ROM coal was purchased from third parties
during the Quarter (FY2018 Q4: 13,265t) due to the expiry of a coal supply agreement in the prior year. The ROM
coal generated high-grade metallurgical and thermal coal sales of 75,643t compared to 90,509t in the
comparative quarter which were elevated due to the inclusion of some of March 2018 quarter sales that were
delayed as a result of rain preventing access to site. There were no sales of the high-ash middlings coal during
the Quarter due to train scheduling and at the end of June 2019, Uitkomst had over 2,500t of this product on-
hand (FY2018 Q4: 0t) which was sold in July 2019.

Uitkomst’s revenue was adversely affected by continued pressure on international thermal coal prices during
the Quarter and the average API4 coal price was 33% lower than the same period in the prior year ($67/t vs
$100/t). The decline in coal prices was somewhat offset by the premium Uitkomst received for sized coal and
the sales prices attained for this type of coal is expected to prevail for the remainder of CY2019.

The Uitkomst Colliery has an estimated 15-years life-of-mine (“LOM”) which includes the development of a north
adit (horizontal shaft). The colliery awaits the granting of the Integrated Water Use License and anticipates that
this will be granted in the near-term with development of the north adit commencing in early CY2020.

                                                                                                               
Makhado Hard Coking Coal Project – Soutpansberg Coalfield (69% owned)

The Makhado Project recorded no LTIs (FY2019 Q3: nil) during the Quarter.

Phase 1 of the Makhado Project entails the construction of the west pit and trucking of scalped and screened
ROM coal to the existing, but to be modified Vele Colliery for final processing. The development of Phase 1 has
a low capex requirement and a short construction phase, reducing the period for delivery of saleable coal to
market while utilising previously tested road and rail infrastructure. The east and central pits will be developed
in Phase 2, producing approximately 4Mtpa of ROM coal that will yield some 1.7Mtpa of saleable HCC and
thermal coal.

Construction of the Phase 1 west pit and Vele Colliery plant modifications will occur simultaneously and take
nine months to complete, followed by first coal sales in month ten. Phase 1 will generate an estimated 3Mtpa
of ROM coal producing approximately 0.54Mtpa of HCC and 0.57Mtpa of a thermal coal by-product and the
saleable coal will be transported to the Musina siding for railing to customers.

South Africa has a very limited production of high-quality metallurgical (coking) coal, resulting in AMSA and other
coke producers having to import HCC for the manufacture of metallurgical coke, a key ingredient in the
production of steel. The Agreement signed with AMSA during the Quarter reaffirms the quality of Makhado’s
HCC and sales prices are linked to a published, international US dollar denominated HCC index. The off-take will
endure for the shorter of ten years or the Phase 1 LOM and AMSA will purchase between 350,000t and 450,000t
of Phase 1 HCC annually.

MC Mining also concluded a coal Sale and Purchase Agreement for the Phase 1 thermal coal by-product during
the Quarter. This off-take is with one of the world’s largest producers and marketers of bulk commodities and
sales prices are linked to the API4 price, expressed in US dollars.

The conclusion of the two off-take agreements allowed the Company to progress the composite debt/equity
funding initiatives for Phase 1 and resulted in the July 2019 IDC Credit Committee approval of a R245 million
($17.5 million) term loan facility to fund the construction of the project. The equity portion of the funding
package is expected to be completed in Q3 CY2019.

The appeals against the Makhado EA amendments were dismissed during the Quarter, allowing for the
transportation of coal to Musina by road rather than rail. These amendments were previously approved by the
Department of Mineral Resources (“DMR”) and Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment
and Tourism and confirms the Makhado Project’s permitted status.


Vele Coking and Thermal Coal Colliery – Limpopo (Tuli) Coalfield (100% owned)

                                                                                                                 
The Vele Colliery remained on care and maintenance during the Quarter and no LTIs were recorded during the
period (FY2019 Q3: nil).

There were no further developments to report during the Quarter and the Vele processing plant is expected to
be refurbished and recommissioned as part of Phase 1 of the Makhado Project


Greater Soutpansberg Project – Soutpansberg Coalfield (74% owned)

The Greater Soutpansberg Project (“GSP”) recorded no LTIs (FY2019 Q3: nil) during the Quarter.

The Chapudi, Mopane and Generaal Projects comprise MC Mining’s longer-term coking and thermal GSP. The
GSP contains over 6.3 billion gross tonnes in situ of inferred coal resources2 and mining right applications for the
three project areas were submitted to the DMR during 2013. The Chapudi Project mining right was granted in
December 2018 and the Mopane and Generaal Project mining right applications are at an advanced stage. The
Company continues to have regular interactions with the DMR and is hopeful that the granting thereof will occur
in the near future.


Corporate
HEI co-operation agreement
During the Quarter the Company signed a new co-operation agreement with HEI, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Shanghai-listed Beijing Haohua Energy Resource Co. Limited, the largest exporter of anthracite coal from China.
The agreement facilitates a long-term, mutually beneficial strategic partnership and aligns HEI’s threshold with
other substantial shareholders eligible to have a board seat. Mr Shangren Ding is HEI’s current representative
and will remain on the board as their nominee and HEI will need to maintain an interest of at least 5.4% to have
the right to nominate a director to the MC Mining board.


Mooiplaats disposal proceeds
The Company agreed to the sale of the Mooiplaats Colliery during Q4 CY2017 for a total sale price of R179.9
million ($12.9 million) and the initial sale proceeds of R67.0 million ($4.8 million) were received. The balance of
the purchase price of R112.9 million ($8.1 million) was due to be paid in ten equal quarterly instalments and the
first three of these instalments were subsequently received. The significant decline in global thermal coal prices
during the last six months resulted in MC Mining de-risking the remaining instalments and negotiating early

settlement of the outstanding balance, resulting in the Company receiving $4.1 million during the Quarter, a
12% discount on the purchase price.


Markets
Continued tight global metallurgical coal supply resulted in average premium HCC prices of $202/t during the
Quarter (FY2018 Q4: $188/t) and based on market fundamentals, long-term forecasts continue to reflect
favourable pricing. API4 thermal coal prices remain under pressure and average prices reduced from FY2018
Q4’s $100/t to $67/t during the Quarter as a result of subdued demand in parts of the northern hemisphere as
well as competition from the increased supply of ‘cheaper’ liquefied natural gas, also used as a bulk energy
source.
