Modernisation Strategy

• Upgrade our Roadway Development Equipment – 4x continuous miner sections (1 of which is spare) – 3 x have been built, 4th Machine will be re-built in

2015

• Upgrade of the Mines Infrastructure – Replace the Conveyor Belt System – Electrical Power – Compressed Air – Clean Water System – Waste water pumping and storage system All jobs are in progress and expected to be completed during August 2014

Modernisation Strategy

• Establish an In-House Mine Atmosphere Inertisation Capability – Cook purchased a Nitrogen generator in 2013 so that

this function is permanently available – Cook maintains all old workings in a stable inert state

• Upgrade the Mines Atmospheric Monitoring System – completed in 2013

• Upgrade the Ventilation Modelling Capability – Long term mine plan – Emergency Scenario Planning in conjunction with

Queensland Mines Rescue

Cook Production Systems

Cook Mine Expansion – Great Wall Project

19

• Introduce longwall mining to Cook Colliery in 2014

• Initial production of 3.5 MTPA (ROM) • Target longwall output 2.5 MTPA • Utilise existing equipment to produce

1.0 MTPA • Upgrade the colliery infrastructure

• conveyor belts, electricity supply • coal handling and processing

capability

A Modern Longwall for Cook

• Recent changes in equipment design have resulted in more effective ground support

• Change in accepted application of longwall mining in Australia

• A modern longwall delivers significant productivity

gains at a more than acceptable level of risk

The Great Wall Project

• Technical evaluation has been primarily focussed on major risks to the project: – Reserves / Geological model – Mine plan and operations – Geotechnical analysis – Infrastructure – Human resources – Financial model

• Robust and profitable project

Longwall Equipment Supplier

• Proven track record of equipment supply • Proven track record of product support • Products must have current statutory approvals

for underground coal mines

• Collaborative style – Smaller company, greater exposure – Risks must be controlled – Working for the best solution for the Customer

Conveyor Upgrade

Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP)

• Existing plant 35+ years old

• Sub-lease from Glencore • Dedicated Rail Balloon

Loop

• Upgrade to CHPP – 500 t/hr, 3.5 Mt /yr Capacity – Dense Medium Process – Raw Coal Feed to be sized – Fine Coal Recovery Circuit

Introduced – Reject Material to be dried

CHPP

Minyango

Cook

Minyango Project

Minyango

• 1.2 billion tonne resource • Updated JORC standard

resource statement imminent • Exploration has been slowed

due to GWP • 5 Mtpa ROM • EIS has been completed &

accepted by Qld Government • Mining lease anticipated

2014 – 2015 • Development will be Market

Driven

Conclusion

• The Sino-Aussie opportunities are there. • Caledon was forced into rapidly re-visiting our options in

regard to WICET due to – Australian Government process – Typical supply schedules from traditional suppliers

• The modernisation of Cook Colliery is a great example the influence Chinese stakeholders can have on Australian Projects

• Australian Suppliers can reap tremendous gains if they are willing to develop a market share in collaboration with overseas suppliers (sharing of risk with customer)

• Australia needs to quicken the pace both at Government and Corporate level or miss out !!
