Attractive LT fundamentals – coal price outlook economics Focused on MT to LT coal price outlook given project timings

• Long term forecasts show significant increase in demand for thermal coal in north, south-east and south Asia from 2015 to 2030

• Uncertainty about growth and cost of new supply means forecast prices to increase from 2015 and beyond when Bandanna expects to move into production

Attractive LT fundamentals – coal-fired plants

China Proposed number of plants: 363 Proposed installed capacity of 557,938 megawatts

India Proposed number of plants: 455 Proposed installed capacity of 519,396 megawatts

A recent report by The World Resources Institute (WRI) identified 1,200 coal-fired plants in planning across 59 countries, with ¾ in China and India

Attractive LT fundamentals – Asian growth

Emerging Asian economies thirst for coal

Source: World Resources Institute, IEA

• China’s demand peaks around 2020 and is then steady to 2035

• Growth in Korea’s coal fired electricity generation capacity projected to support growth in thermal coal imports at an average rate of 4%pa

• Japan and Taiwan – new coal fired generation being approved and fast-tracked to seek to reduce energy costs

• Substantial growth forecasts in SE Asia – Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam

• India’s coal fired electricity generation capacity projected to increase substantially to meet energy demands of India’s growing middle class and manufacturing industries

- coal use in India continues to rise and, by 2025, is expected to overtake the United States as the world’s second-largest user of coal

Attractive LT fundamentals – Korean growth

Korean Electricity Generation under substantial demand pressure • Korea is 8th biggest power consumer, BUT • Has only the 14th largest generating capacity

Government has committed to double coal fired generation capacity between 2012 and 2021

– Additional 23.3GW of coal fired generation – Additional 56Mtpa thermal coal imports required – Generators seeking equity investment to fix offtake for more than 50% of

new demand

Springsure Creek – Aust’s next producing coal mine

• Aim to commence coal production and first shipments mid CY2015

- substantial high quality coal resource (>40yr mine life at 11Mtpa) in region with well understood geology and coal quality

- Low ash coal does not require processing – provides for reduced capital cost and operating cost saving

- Competitive operational costs ($65.50/tonne FOB ex royalties) compared with existing global cost curve

- No legacies of past practices to overcome – currently reviewing costs and productivities, aiming to further increase competitiveness and outpace improvements at brownfield operations

- Close to existing coal rail network

- Approvals process well advanced

• Secure contracted access to port and rail infrastructure - construction is well advanced

• Recently confirmed 35% increase in measured resources under 2012 JORC Code

• JV partner discussions progressing

- a number of interested parties currently undertaking due diligence

- Progress of project approvals a key discussion point with potential JV partners

• Interested parties include:

- Asian based electricity generation companies

- international investment houses

- overseas mining companies

• Possible structure could see one or a small number of electricity generators take a minority stake in return for an off take agreement for a percentage of coal produced F

Springsure Creek secure access to infrastructure

• Bandanna is 14% shareholder in WICET Stage 1 and has 4 Mtpa, 10yr rolling contract

• Bandanna’s expected production profile will see company meet commencement of its take or pay obligations

• Take-or-pay obligation commences once Stage 1 of port commissioned - WICET advises probable commencement of shipping in Apr 2015 subject to Mechanical Completion of facilities

- life of mine average take or pay obligation for port and rail is approx. $23.00 per tonne

- obligations in first year are approximately halved to allow for ramp up of port capacity

• Any obligation that may arise (if at all) is not likely to be material to overall capital cost of project
