Audited Final Results for the Year Ended 30 June 2009 
 
 
Coal of Africa Limited the AIM/ASX/JSE listed coal development company operating 
in South Africa, is pleased to announce its audited final results for the year 
ended 30 June 2009. 
 
 
Despite the global financial crisis, the year ended 30 June 2009 followed on 
from the successes of the previous year as the Company progressed from an 
explorer and developer, to a mining company. The considerable cash resources 
raised in the previous year allowed the Company to focus on the development of 
the Mooiplaats thermal coal project in the Mpumalanga Province, South Africa 
("Mooiplaats Project") and bring a greenfield project into production under 
budget and in less than a year. 
 
 
Highlights included: 
 
 
  *  Upgrade of resources at the Makhado coking coal project in the Limpopo Province, 
  South Africa ("Makhado Project") to 1.33 billion tonnes (400 million "measured") 
  and at the Vele coking coal project, also in the Limpopo Province ("Vele 
  Project") to 721 million tonnes (158 million "measured" and 324 million 
  "indicated"); 
  *  Production of first coal at the Mooiplaats Project in November 2008; 
  *  Rail allocation secured from Transnet Freight Rail; 
  *  Agreement reached with Grindrod Limited ("Grindrod") to secure port capacity at 
  the Matola terminal in Maputo, Mozambique ("Matola Terminal"), initially 3 
  million tonnes per annum ("mtpa") and ultimately 13 mtpa; 
  *  Selection of MCC Contracts, a division of Equestra Holdings, as preferred 
  partner for the Vele Project's opencast mining operations; 
  *  Mooiplaats Project coal handling and preparation plant ("CHPP") commissioned in 
  May 2009; and 
  *  ELB Engineering Services contracted to build the first CHPP at Vele. 
 
 
 
The full Annual Report will be posted to shareholders and is available on the 
Company`s website www.coalofafrica.com

Operational review 
 
 
During the year, the operations of the Company included: 
 
 
  *  Mooiplaats Project, based in the Mpumalanga Province; 
  *  Vele Project, based in the Limpopo Province; 
  *  Makhado Project, based in the Limpopo Province; 
  *  Polokwane CoaL Laboratory, based in the Limpopo Province; and 
  *  Holfontein thermal coal project, based in the Mpumalanga Province ("Holfontein 
  Project"). 
 
 
 
The mining technical team was restructured at the start of the financial year to 
improve role clarity and accountability. Key skills were also added, ensuring 
in-house capacity in all key areas of operation. 
 
 
Mooiplaats Thermal Coal Project (100%) 
 
 
The Mooiplaats Project was developed from a site consisting of only farmland and 
an abandoned box-cut at the start of the year under review, to an operational 
mine by the end of the year. Surface facilities commissioned included a fully 
functional coal handling and preparation plant. 
 
 
Safety management of the site was exemplary, with in excess of 400 000 lost time 
incident free man-hours achieved during the high-risk construction phase up to 
the end of March 2009, with more than 500 contractors' staff present on site 
during this period. Sadly, in July 2009, two contractor employees were fatally 
injured in an accident resulting from the unlawful access to and use of a 
vehicle by an unlicensed contractor. Immediately following the accident, 
operations were halted for three days whilst investigations were conducted by 
inspectors and mine officials of the South African Department of Mineral 
Resources ("DMR"). Reassuringly, the results of the official inquiry indicated 
no substantial breaches by the Company, but suggested legal prosecution of the 
driver and several contractors' officials. 
 
 
Following the successful dewatering, de-silting and deepening of the box-cut to 
the floor of coal, the first continuous miner began cutting coal in November 
2008. The inclined conveyor infrastructure was completed whilst mining portals 
were being established, thereby enabling mining development to continue whilst 
the CHPP was being constructed. 
 
 
Although the region experienced above average rainfall during the summer, 
causing delays to civil construction, the project management team and 
contracting firms were able to minimise delays to the overall schedule, and the 
plant was successfully commissioned in May 2009. The second module of the plant 
is currently under construction, with commissioning expected by November 2009. 
This will increase capacity from 110,000 to 220,000 run of mine ("ROM") tonnes 
per month. 
 
 
While good progress was made in the mining of initial underground coal access, 
progressively more adverse geological conditions were experienced, leading to an 
extensive reassessment of the geological structure and its potential effect on 
the mining layout. Additional surface drilling and wireline logging, supported 
by underground horizontal drilling, led to a better understanding of detailed 
geological structure and subsequent adjustment of the mining layout. Mining 
development continues through lean coal areas in two mining areas, one utilising 
a Sandvik road header to progress through a faulted and steeply dipping area and 
associated stone layers, and the other utilising a JOY continuous miner. By the 
end of June 2009, approximately 3,400 metres had been cut, yielding close to 
50,000 tonnes of coal. The current lean coal mining rate averages 30,000 tonnes 
per month, which can be increased to 80,000 tonnes per month if required by the 
market. The intensified geological drilling program has also proven closer 
proximity to the bituminous coal zone in one area, which is anticipated to be 
reached by end of the calendar year. The Company has meanwhile taken delivery of 
three full sets of mining equipment, which will allow rapid build up of 
production as soon as the bituminous coal zone is reached. 
 
 
The mid-volatile coal product currently produced by the CHPP is transported to 
the nearby Umlabo siding, which CoAL has negotiated access to from SA Coal 
Mining Holdings Limited, and several train loads have been railed to the Matola 
Terminal, in preparation for shipment to a customer by Q4 2009. Development of 
the Overvaal siding, which is situated some 8km from the Mooiplaats Project 
along the CoalLink railway line to Richard's Bay and will form the long term 
rail loading point, is expected to commence in 2010. 
 
 
An application to amend the current New Order Mining Right ("NOMR") as well as 
the supporting environmental management plan ("EMP") to include the farms 
Klipbank and Adrianople, has been lodged with the DMR in Mpumalanga. This will 
allow the development of the south decline in order to increase the life of the 
mine. Meanwhile, the Company has also entered into negotiations with parties 
holding rights to areas contiguous to the Mooiplaats North area, which will lead 
to the extension of mining life in that area. 
 
 
Mooiplaats is well on its way to building up production to 1.7 million ROM 
tonnes in 2010 and approximately 3 mtpa in 2011. 
 
 
Vele Coking Coal Project (74%, Signed Purchase Agreements for 26%) 
 
 
Significant progress was made on the Vele Project during the year, and the 
Company is expecting the NOMR to be granted by the DMR by the end of September 
2009. The Company plans to implement the Project in two phases. Phase 1 will 
comprise the establishment of a modular coal treatment plant with capacity to 
deliver approximately 1 million saleable tonnes of blend coking coal per annum, 
with ROM coal planned to be sourced from opencast mining. Because of the modular 
nature of this plant, capacity may be doubled, dependant on market conditions. 
Phase 2 will require the construction of the full-scale coal treatment plant 
(the design of which has been completed by Dowding Reynard & Associates) to 
deliver 5 million tonnes of blend coking coal per annum, at which point the 
underground operation will be established. 
 
 
The NOMR application, consisting of a mine works program ("MWP") and social and 
labour plan ("SLP"), was submitted to the DMR in Limpopo in November 2008, 
followed by the environmental impact assessment ("EIA") scoping report in 
December 2008. Following this period, extensive consultation was conducted with 
interested and affected parties ("IAP's") whilst the EIA was being carried out 
by a group of specialist consultants, each covering their respective areas of 
expertise as required by the scoping report. The process culminated in a widely 
publicised open day, held at a site near the Project area in April 2009, which 
was attended by more than 170 persons representing various interest groups. The 
comments received during this session, as well as from the IAP consultation 
process, were taken into account in preparation of the EMP, which was then 
submitted to the DMR in mid-May with the EIA documents, together comprising more 
than 2,200 pages. 
 
 
Some environmental groups have stated their opposition to the Vele Project due 
to the sensitive nature of the area and the proximity of the Project to the 
Mapungubwe World Heritage Site and National Park. The Company is confident, 
however, that it has addressed concerns and designed sufficient mitigation into 
the mining layout and processes to ensure co-existence with eco-tourism and 
agriculture in the area. The Project will introduce much needed investment, 
employment and economic growth into one of the poorest regions of South Africa. 
The dual benefits of reduced imports by ArcelorMittal, as well as potential 
exports from the Project to the national balance of payments, also cannot be 
underestimated. 
 
 
Capital expenditure to date consists mainly of land purchases to access surface 
mining areas and accommodate critical infrastructure, as well as investment in 
the development of a modular coal wash plant. The latter has been designed by 
ELB Engineering in conjunction with PBA Projects, based on designs used in the 
marine diamond mining industry, and will have the capacity to generate 1 million 
blend coking coal saleable tonnes per annum. As discussed earlier, plant 
capacity can be rapidly doubled, dependent on market demand. Built and 
pre-commissioned off-site before being transported for assembly at the mine 
site, the plant can be deployed and commissioned within three months after 
access to site is made possible, in this case by the granting of a mining 
licence. Phase 1 capital requirement is estimated at ZAR350 million, whilst the 
establishment of the full-scale mine is expected to cost in the region of ZAR3 
billion. 
 
 
Geological drilling continued to improve confidence in the structure and quality 
of the mineable resources at Vele, supported by the completion of 3 large 
diameter drilling sites, aeromagnetic interpretation and geotechnical 
assessment. Coal resources are currently indicated at some 721 million tonnes, 
of which approximately 158 million tonnes has been proven to measured status. 
 
 
A project feasibility report has recently been completed by GRD Minproc. An 
exercise was concluded early in 2009 to select a preferred opencast mining 
contractor, leading to the appointment of MCC Contracts ("MCC") in this 
capacity. MCC is one of the largest mining contractors in South Africa, with a 
significant mining equipment fleet available for rapid deployment and expansion 
as required, releasing the Company from the burden of acquiring mining equipment 
and reducing the capital requirements of the Project. 
 
 
The Company has recently concluded agreements to acquire the remaining 26% of 
the Vele Project to bring its ownership to 100%. 
 
 
Makhado Coking Coal Project (100%) 
 
 
During the year, the Company continued with its planning of the Makhado Project, 
underpinned by extensive geological exploration and modelling. Coal samples are 
currently being assessed at the Company's newly commissioned laboratory in 
Polokwane. 
 
 
This Project will comprise an opencast mine, planned to deliver 5 million tonnes 
of hard coking coal product per annum at full output. A similar phased approach 
to that of Vele, utilising a modular coal processing plant, may also be applied 
at Makhado. Current indications are that a modular plant first phase with a 
capacity of 1 million tonnes of hard coking coal product per annum, will require 
investment in the order of ZAR500 million, compared to some ZAR2.7 billion 
required for the full-scale project. 
 
 
Geological exploration drilling increased the measured resource base to some 400 
million tonnes of the total resource, indicated at 1.3 billion tonnes. Surface 
rights were obtained for the farm Tanga, and the mining exploration camp 
relocated to Tanga from Fripp. Drilling of the first large diameter bulk 
sampling site was completed on the farm Tanga, which is also the site for which 
application for the mining of a coal bulk sample has been made to the Limpopo 
office of the DMR. This is expected to yield 1,000 tonnes of coking coal for 
analysis by ArcelorMittal in their coking ovens. Exploration drilling also 
confirmed the presence of other coal horizons in the overburden of the deeper 
coal to the North of the proposed open cut and a substantial resource upgrade is 
anticipated in 2010. 
 
 
NOMR application documents are currently being finalised and prepared for 
submission to the DMR, which will be done as soon as section 11 approvals have 
been received for the transfer of prospecting rights between CoAL and Rio Tinto 
in terms of the agreed prospecting rights swap. 
 
 
Polokwane CoAL Laboratory (100%) 
 
 
Following the Company securing access to an unused abattoir site, the 
construction of a world class analytical coal laboratory in Polokwane commenced 
in April 2009. The facility is being managed by the international laboratory 
group, Inspectorate, ensuring cost effective operation and required 
accreditation. Most of the planned facilities have been commissioned, and 
exploration drilling core samples for Vele and Makhado started being processed 
in August 2009. ArcelorMittal has also recently indicated its desire to be a 50% 
partner in the laboratory. 
 
 
Holfontein Thermal Coal Project (100%) 
 
 
During the year, the Company received section 11 approval for Motjoli Resources 
(Pty) Ltd to transfer 51% of the Holfontein Project to CoAL, whilst discussions 
regarding the granting of the NOMR continued with the DMR. The Company remains 
confident that the NOMR will be granted in the near future. 
 
 
The Holfontein Project continues to be classified as an asset available for 
sale. 
 
 
IPP Submissions Pre-Qualified by Eskom 
 
 
CoAL's independent base load generation tenders for the Vele and Makhado 
Projects, submitted jointly with Independent Power Producers ("IPP"), whereby 
the IPP will supply Eskom with base load power, have been unconditionally 
pre-qualified by Eskom. 
 
 
The submission to supply coal to the proposed IPP located close to the Vele 
Project was made jointly with Mulilo Energy (Pty) Ltd and China Railway 
Construction Corporation, and with AES Energy Developments for an IPP in 
proximity of the Makhado Project. In both cases, the coal supplied would be a 
"middlings" product, a lower quality coal produced additional to the coking 
coal. The economics of the Vele and Makhado Projects are not reliant on the sale 
of the middlings fraction but, if successful, such sales would provide 
substantial upside to these Projects. 
 
 
Port Allocation 
 
 
The Company secured long term port allocation for the export of coal mined at 
the Mooiplaats Project through the Richard's Bay dry bulk terminal ("Richard's 
Bay Terminal"), operated by Grindrod. The throughput agreement provides CoAL 
with an allocation of 900,000 tonnes of coal per annum, commencing in 2009, and 
includes the potential to increase its export capacity to 3 mtpa once the 
terminal expansion is complete. In return, CoAL will participate in the funding 
of the expansion. 
 
 
Furthermore, CoAL has secured long term port allocation through the Matola 
Terminal in Maputo, Mozambique and expects that the export of metallurgical coal 
mined at its Makhado and Vele Projects will take place via this terminal. The 
agreement with Terminal De Carvao Da Matola Limitada and Grindrod provides for 
an allocation of 1 mtpa through the Matola Terminal, commencing in 2009, and 
CoAL has secured the rights to up to 100% of any increased capacity at the 
Matola Terminal in return for the Company participating in the funding of the 
expansion. The first phase of Grindrod's intended two phase expansion of the 
terminal will increase CoAL's export capacity to 3 mtpa and on completion of the 
second phase of expansion, CoAL will have a total capacity of 13 mtpa of the 
terminal's annual 16 mtpa capacity. 
 
 
During February 2009, the Company agreed to loan the required US$20 million for 
the proposed 2 mtpa expansion at the Matola Terminal, which will increase CoAL's 
export allocation at the port to 3 mtpa. The increased port capacity is expected 
to be effective from 1 August 2010 and discussions with TFR to secure an 
additional 2 mtpa rail capacity are ongoing. 
 
 
Rail Allocation Secured for Coking Coal Projects 
 
 
Agreement was reached with Transnet Freight Rail ("TFR"), a division of 
Transnet, the South African Government owned rail and freight organisation, for 
the rail allocation of 1 mtpa to the Matola Terminal. This rail allocation 
matches the Company's current port allocation of 1 mtpa through the Matola 
Terminal. 
 
 
Negotiations with TFR for rail services for the transport of coal to the 
Richard's Bay Terminal were completed and the Company secured a five year rail 
agreement for the movement of coal from its Mooiplaats Project to the Terminal. 
TFR has allocated CoAL the current empty wagons returning from ArcelorMittal's 
Vanderbijl Park steel works, ensuring the Company will be able to satisfy its 
initial 900,000 tonne dry bulk terminal port allocation at the Richard's Bay 
Terminal. 
 
 
The Company successfully railed over 38,000 tonnes of third party coal to the 
Matola Terminal during the year. Of the coal railed, over 22,000 tonnes were 
shipped from the Terminal during the period, ensuring the viability of this 
export route as an alternative to the Richard's Bay Terminal. 
 
 
Imaloto Coal Project in Madagascar (50%) 
 
 
During the year, the Company acquired 50% of the interest in the Imaloto Project 
located in the Massabi Basin in Madagascar. The interest comprises 25 blocks of 
6.5km2 each. Exploration on the Project commenced during the period and by year 
end, Phase 1 of the exploration programme on the North portion of the Project, 
comprising over 2,522m, had been drilled and yielded bright to intermediate coal 
seams. Coal samples have been sent for analysis and results are expected 
shortly. 
 
 
NiMag Group ("NiMag") (100%) 
 
 
NiMag is engaged principally in the manufacture and distribution of nickel 
magnesium alloys, ferro silicon magnesium alloys and metal fibres, having begun 
producing alloys in 1962, and currently manufactures specialised master alloys 
of nickel and magnesium for the specialised foundry industry including 
aerospace, aeronautical, motor, steel mill roll and associated industries. 
 
 
Ductile iron (also called spheroidal graphite iron or nodular cast iron) was 
discovered in the 1940's. The introduction of magnesium into the melt results in 
nodular rather than flaky graphite in the resultant cast iron, giving the cast 
iron properties approaching those of steel, while maintaining the advantages of 
the casting process. The magnesium is usually added as a nickel alloy, making it 
easier to add and contribute to product quality. NiMag supplies the ductile iron 
market as a specialist supplier with a world market share of about 35% in its 
core product line. 95% of sales are exported through 35 distributors world wide. 
Demand for NiMag's alloys is proportional with world demand for ductile iron, 
principally for automotive parts and industrial machinery. Demand for NiMag 
products has grown gradually to meet current capacity of 287 tonnes per month 
(all products). Potential for expansion of the core nickel-magnesium alloy 
product is presently limited by the size of end markets. NiMag is increasing the 
penetration of a variety of other products developed for alternative markets. 
NiMag produces cast and slit fibres which are used in reinforced concrete by 
domestic mining and tunnelling operations. 
 
 
NiMag's competitive advantages include low electricity and labour costs. The 
main input cost is locally sourced nickel raw material, which is matched with 
sales to minimise nickel price exposure. 
 
 
Significant depreciation of global nickel prices in the 2009 financial year 
reduced NiMag's margins as well as volumes, resulting in the Company generating 
lower operational cash flows than those recorded in the previous year. NiMag 
recorded a loss of $2.6 million for the year, primarily due to a $1.7 million 
loss as a result of the revaluation of nickel inventory. 
 
 
Events Subsequent to Balance Sheet Date 
 
 
Mooiplaats Project Update 
CoAL confirmed in early July that a revised mining layout had been finalised 
following an extensive reassessment of the mine plan and geological conditions 
at Mooiplaats. Depending on the rate of development, export quality thermal coal 
is now expected to be reached in November 2009 at the earliest. There has been 
no material amendments to the anticipated tonnage schedules of the Project's 
Life of Mine. Forecast ROM production for the next five years is as follows: 
 
 
+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+ 
| Calendar     |    2010      |    2011      |    2012      |    2013      |    2014      | 
| year         |              |              |              |              |              | 
+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+ 
| ROM          |    1.7m      |    2.7m      |    3.1m      |    3.4m      |    3.2m      | 
| Production   |              |              |              |              |              | 
+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+ 
 
 
Operations at the Mooiplaats Project are currently producing 30,000 ROM tonnes 
per month of a mid volatile "lean" coal. In the event of an off-take agreement 
for this coal being finalised, production can be ramped up to over 80,000 tonnes 
per month. The Company has already reached agreement on terms and conditions for 
the off-take of the export quality thermal coal to be produced at the Mooiplaats 
Project. 
 
 
Vele Project Update 
In early July 2009, CoAL confirmed that it will develop its Vele Project in two 
phases: 
 
 
  *  Phase 1 - the establishment of a modular coal treatment plant with the ability 
  to deliver approximately 1 million saleable tonnes (yield dependant) of coking 
  coal per annum. The capacity of the modular plant can be doubled should 
  ArcelorMittal wish to increase its off-take from the Vele Project, as indicated 
  in the letter of intent signed in April 2008. 
  *  Phase 2 - this phase will deliver the planned full capacity of 5 million tonnes 
  of saleable coking coal per annum from the Vele Project and the implementation 
  thereof will be dictated by market conditions. 
 
Phase 1 will be launched on approval of the NOMR Application submitted to the 
DMR in November 2008. 
 
 
First Train Loaded at Mooiplaats 
In mid-September, the Company successfully completed its first sale and loaded 
its first train of mid volatile "lean" coal mined at the Mooiplaats Project. The 
coal was trucked from the mine to the Umlabo siding, from where it was railed to 
the Matola Terminal in Maputo, Mozambique. Further trains will continue to be 
loaded to utilize the maximum stockpile of approximately 80,000 tonnes at the 
Matola Terminal. Shipping is expected to commence in Q4 2009. 
 
 
Makhado Project Update 
In July 2009, CoAL announced that it is progressing with the planning of its 
Makhado Project. The full scale production plan is based on the production of 5 
mtpa of coking coal and a phased modular approach, similar to that used at the 
Vele Project, may be applied at the Makhado Project. A phased approach will 
lower initial capital requirements, enabling CoAL to self-fund the build up into 
a full capacity mine. The phased approach or full scale development of the mine 
will be determined by market conditions and the Company has prepared the 
documentation required for the NOMR Application to be submitted to the DMR. This 
application will be submitted once the Section 11 approval for the swap of NOPR 
with Rio Tinto has been granted by the DMR. 
 
 
Acquisition of 26% Interest in Limpopo Coal 
During July 2009, CoAL executed two binding agreements to collectively secure 
the remaining 26% interest in Limpopo Coal Company (Pty) Ltd, the subsidiary 
company that owns the Vele Project. Satisfaction of the suspensive conditions 
pertaining to the agreements will take CoAL's interest in the Vele Project to 
100%. The consideration payable for acquisition of the 20% interest is 5,625,750 
fully paid ordinary shares while 1,990,000 fully paid ordinary will secure the 
remaining 6% interest. 
Black Empowerment Transaction 
On 13 June 2008, CoAL entered into an agreement with Coal Investments Limited 
("CIL"), pursuant to which CIL subscribed for shares and was granted an option 
which, if exercised, would result in African Global Capital I, L.P. ("AGC") and 
their affiliates holding in excess of 26% of the Company, ensuring full 
compliance with South African legislative requirements for broad based black 
empowered ("BBBEE") groups to have at least a 26% interest in mining companies 
by 2014. 
 
 
On 30 September 2009, the Company announced that it had entered into a further 
agreement that replaced the abovementioned agreement with CIL. Pursuant to the 
new agreement, CoAL has agreed to issue a total of 50 million options 
exercisable at 60 pence each, expiring five years from the date of issue to 
Firefly Investments 163 (Pty) Ltd ("Firefly") which is wholly owned and 
controlled by historically disadvantaged South Africans. The options will be 
issued to Firefly, subject to Firefly not being able to exercise the options for 
a period of 12 months from the issue thereof. In addition, the issue of the 
options will be subject to certain regulatory approvals, including consent of 
the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board. The "in the money" options will 
represent approximately 10.85% of CoAL's issued capital upon being converted 
into ordinary shares. Firefly will also have the right to nominate two persons 
to the CoAL Board. 
 
 
Appointment of a Non-Executive Director 
At the end of August 2009, the Company announced the appointment of Mr Hendrik 
("Kobus") Verster as ArcelorMittal's nominee non-executive Director to the CoAL 
Board. Mr Verster replaced Mr Pierre Leonard, who stepped down from the Board as 
non-executive Director.
