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

Springsure Creek approvals process on track
• Approvals progressing as planned
- Final EIS submitted to Qld Government in June 2013
- No outstanding issues identified. EIS Approval expected in Oct 2013
- Progress of Environmental Authority and Mining Lease to proceed following EIS approval
- All mine site approvals expected by end of Q1 2014
• Attractive project features favour Government approval
• Little remnant flora/fauna due to extensive agriculture
• Bandanna strongly committed to coexistence of cropping and mining

Springsure Creek JV discussions progressing
• 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
