ANNOUNCEMENT15 SEPTEMBER 2009 
COAL LOADS FIRST TRAIN AT MOOIPLAATS 
Further to its Market Update on 13 July 2009, Coal of Africa Limited ("CoAL" or 
the "Company"), the AIM/ASX/JSE listed coal mining and development company 
operating in South Africa (ticker: CZA), is pleased to announce it has 
successfully completed its first sale and loading of its first train of mid 
volatile "lean" coal mined at the Company's Mooiplaats thermal coal project in 
the Mpumalanga Province, South Africa ("Mooiplaats Project"). 
CoAL began trucking the coal from the Mooiplaats Project on 8 September 2009, 
with the first train loaded on 11 September and the second train loaded the 
following day, both at the Umlabo siding bound for the Matola Terminal in 
Maputo, Mozambique. 
The Company will continue to load further trains to utilise the maximum 
available stockpile at the Matola Terminal of approximately 80,000 tonnes. The 
shipping program is anticipated to commence in the last of quarter of calendar 
2009.

for the Company. Reaching this major milestone marks the transition from an 
exploration and development company into a mining company. The system is now in 
place to facilitate the ramp up of production once mining of the export quality 
thermal coal commences, which as previously advised is expected to be in 
November at the earliest or Q1 2010 at the latest."
