ANNOUNCEMENT 28 November 2017

TREATMENT OF POST-CONSOLIDATION FRACTIONAL ENTITLEMENT SHARES ON THE SOUTH AFRICAN REGISTER

Coal of Africa Limited ("CoAL" or the "Company") shareholders are referred to the announcement released earlier today as well as previous announcements in respect of the 20 to 1 consolidation of CoAL shares (the "Consolidation") and change of name to MC Mining Limited, as approved at the Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") on 24 November 2017.

The AGM notice distributed to shareholders expounded that Section 254H(1) of the Australian Corporations Act ("the Act") stipulates that when a Consolidation results in a shareholder having an entitlement to a fraction of a share (the "Fractional Entitlement"), that fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. This results in each shareholder's proportional interest in the Company's issued capital remaining unchanged as a result of the Consolidation (other than minor variations resulting from rounding).

The Consolidation of Fractional Entitlement shares listed on the South African register trading on the JSE Limited will be undertaken in compliance with the Act, resulting in the number of shares held by the shareholder being rounded up to the nearest whole number and, no fractional payment will be effected. Furthermore, the salient dates and times announced on Thursday, 23 November 2017 remain unchanged and shareholders are directed to consult with their investment advisors should they have any queries regarding the abovementioned processes.
