Company Update

Investment case

Commercialisation via third party infrastructure agreements presents a material near term catalyst and has catapulted Broadmeadow East as the most advance of the Company’s four coking coal projects in Qld. Further to which, we see a clear discrepancy with the market attributing little value to the low capex, early production option at Isaac River or the large “Company Maker” Resource of 177Mt at Cooroorah. Growth to the Hillalong Coking Coal Project - in JV with Sumitomo – looks to have momentum. The Farm-in Agreement agreed in Nov 2019 provides for Sumitomo to earn a further 20% by funding a second phase of exploration. This effectively provides a look-through Valuation for Hillalong of between $25m and $50m vs BCB EV of ~$65m. We expect growing market awareness of BCB will ultimately see the Company trade towards our $0.15/sh Price Target. Speculative Buy.

A$/shVol '000 BCB - 12 month price history

Our Market Sensitivity Valuation - $0.14/sh

Price Target - $0.15/sh

Bull Scenario - $0.25/sh Isaac River developed as a rapid, low capex cash generator. Hillalong exploration delivers high quality Resource at upper end of expectations and Sumitomo farm-in increases. Cooroorah attracts corporate action for BCB as a whole.

Base Scenario - $0.15/sh Isaac River developed as a rapid, low capex cash generator. Sumitomo funds Hillalong exploration which delivers high quality Resource in middle of expectation range. Cooroorah sold down to fund development of other assets.

Bear Scenario - $0.02/sh Coal price drops 10% below our forecasts and/or permitting risk heightens and/or drilling fails to yield an economic resource.

Company SummaryBowen Coking Coal Ltd (BCB) is a Queensland based coking coal exploration company with advanced exploration assets. The Company owns the Isaac River, Cooroorah, Hillalong and Comet Ridge coking coal Projects in the world-re-nowned Bowen Basin in Queensland, Australia.
