About CoAL:

CoAL is an AIM/ASX/JSE listed coal mining and development company operating in South Africa. CoAL's key projects include the Woestalleen Colliery, the Mooiplaats thermal coal mine, the Vele coking coal project and the Makhado coking coal project.

The Mooiplaats thermal coal mine commenced production in 2008 and is currently ramping up to produce 2 million tonnes per annum ("mtpa"). CoAL's Makhado coking coal project is expected to start production in 2013 and timing for Vele to reach production is still to be confirmed. These operations are targeted to collectively produce an initial 2mtpa ramping up to a combined annual output of 10mtpa of coking coal.

In 2010, CoAL completed the ZAR467 million acquisition of NuCoal Mining (Pty) Limited ("NuCoal"), a thermal coal producer with assets in South Africa in close proximity to CoAL's Mooiplaats mine. NuCoal owns the Woestalleen Colliery, which has a number of off-take contracts in place and processes approximately 2.5mtpa of saleable coal for domestic and export markets. NuCoal also owns two beneficiation plants, one fully operational Zonnebloem mine producing approximately 300kt per month of ROM coal and has recently commenced production at a Hartogshoop mine.
