Geology

Moatize Basin - Productive series Alternating sandstone, siltstones and coal

seams Classed as a thick inter-bedded seam

deposit Andre, Grande Falesia and Intermedia

seams intersected in the south and west only

Further review of these seams warranted Chipanga and Bananeiras seams

historically the prime targets due to thickness and proportion of coking coal

Coal Horizons(Typ Thickness)

Andre (2.8m)

Grande Falésia (8.1m)

Intermédia (10.1m)

Bananeiras (9.2m)

Challenges

Rail and port infrastructure solutions

Project delivery in a rapidly expanding region

Developing and maintaining trust and productive relationships in the community in which we operate

Integrating new information into the planning and development of the project

Stewardship of the Revuboè business

Page 34: Mozambique's New Independent Coking Coal Project

Summary

Start-up clearly subject to delivery of a robust port and rail solution

Feasibility study has been based on Phase 4 resource work, project improving with technical understanding

We have seen a 30% increase in resources with upper seams

Margin ranking and reserves currently being prepared, expect improvements in reserves and overall project economics

Further optimisation of the project and strategy will be completed once regulatory approvals are finalised

Revuboè is a World Class Coking Coal Project
