AGENDA Welcome and introductions Purpose of meeting Background Project description Legislative requirements Project timeframes and stakeholder engagement Questions and comments Way forward Contact details

PURPOSE OF MEETING Re-introduce Setlabotsha project Explain the reason for the Mining Right Application in addition to the S102 application Share technical information about the project Present alternatives Explain the environmental authorisation process Explain how stakeholders can participate Gather comments from stakeholders

BACKGROUND TO SECTION 102 Proposed underground coal mine near Standerton, Mpumalanga Section 102 process: merge 4 prospecting rights into existing New Denmark mining right. Application lodged Feb 2016 Environmental authorisation also commenced in Feb 2016, although stakeholder engagement started in Dec 2015 Environmental Impact Assessment / Environmental Management Programme (EIA / EMP) submitted to Dept. Mineral Resources (DMR): 18 August 2016

BACKGROUND TO MINING RIGHT APPLICATION (MRA) In addition to the current S102 application, AOL has submitted a stand-alone Mining Right Application (MRA) on 21 October 2016 for the same 4 prospecting rights This a back-up option to ensure the security of the Setlabotsha rights in case the Section 102 application is delayed or not approved Should the Section 102 be granted, the mining right application (MRA) will be withdrawn and this process terminated

BACKGROUND TO MINING RIGHT APPLICATION (MRA) Legal opinion suggested AOL’s rights are at risk if the S102 is not approved – an alternative company may secure the rights AOL thus submitted its own alternative application – “in pending”, as a back-up Cannot submit another S102; MRA was the only option

BACKGROUND TO MINING RIGHT APPLICATION (MRA) MRA requires a stand-alone mine and implies immediate operation (12 months), hence we must include the conveyor route – however, it remains AOL’s intention to merge with existing New Denmark Colliery, even if we pursue this option MRA and S102 are completely separate applications and separate processes. Extremely important to keep them separate – in terms of appeals All stakeholder comments raised during the Section 102 application will be included in the MRA process And all new stakeholder comments will be recorded in the MRA process
