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 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 2012 and timing for Vele to reach 
production is expected tp commence Q1 2011. These operations are targeted to 
collectively produce an initial 2 Mtpa ramping up to a combined annual output of

("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 mine producing approximately 300kt 
per month of ROM coal and has recently commenced production at a second mine. 
 
 CoAL currently has 1 Mtpa export capacity at the Matola Terminal in Maputo, 
Mozambique, increasing to 3 Mtpa on completion of the next phase of expansion at 
the terminal. CoAL also has the option to participate in further expansion at 
the Matola Terminal, which is expected to increase the capacity at the terminal 
by an additional 10 Mtpa.
