                                Quarterly Report
                for the three months ended 30 June 2019 (Quarter)

 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
During June 2019 the Company was able to advise the market that the second and third
members of a proposed Lending Syndicate had confirmed participation (credit approval) of
their respective contributions to the Company’s funding application for construction of the
Boikarabelo Coal Mine. The offers of participation from the three proposed Lenders are
subject to certain terms and conditions which require consolidation into a common term
sheet. This consolidation process has continued through July 2019 in a constructive manner.

The combined proposed mine construction funding package offered by members of the
Lending Syndicate was confirmed as R4.2b (approx. A$420m).

Once proposed common terms are agreed and available for incorporation into the Base Case
Financial Model for the Project, the Board will be in a position to consider these for approval.
All parties are committed to a timely completion of common terms with only a few key
matters still to be resolved.

At the time that all parties agree and obtain approval to common funding terms these will
become binding on the parties, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent to
enable first drawdown (Financial Close). It is at that this time that the Company will be able
to provide key details of the proposed mine construction funding package.

                                                                  Quarterly Report to 30 June 2019



Rail link negotiations for a funding package of R750m (approx. A$75m) are at an advanced
stage and the funding is required to construct the 44km rail infrastructure linking the mine to
the Transnet main line.

Any proposal for the mine construction funding package and the rail link funding package
approved by the Board will remain subject to approval by Shareholders at an EGM to be
scheduled for this purpose.

Based on current expectations and matters within the control of the Company, Financial Close
is being targeted for the end of November 2019. In the interim the Board and Management
remain focused on strategies to conserve cash and/or secure any required additional financial
support to achieve this objective.

Capital Structure and Cash Position

The Company’s summarised capital structure at 30 June 2019 is as follows:

Issued fully paid ordinary shares:           581,380,338

Shareholders and potential investors should also review the Company’s Interim Financial

financial position.

The Company is currently in discussions with Noble Group regarding further working capital
funding required in order to reach Financial Close.

Mining Tenements

follows:

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.
