The Customer: Eskom

• Existing MOU allocated for 525 000t is being

reviewed and a possible allocation of 10mt to be

resolved by September 2011, for a 30-40year

supply

• Coal to be supplied to Tutuka and Majuba Power Stations located in Mpumalanga

• Additional production of export quality (CV ≈ 24)

• Determined agreements, dictate project timeline

Capricorn Iron Ore, Limpopo

Page 15: Sekoko Resources...Waterberg Project • Total of 8 tenements, with total surface area of 7,500 ha • Adjacent to existing Exxaro Mine, Grootegeluk • Initial drilling by Sekoko

Capricorn Iron Ore – Locality Plan

The Capricorn project involves the development of a greenfield open-cast iron ore mine 30km

NE of Polokwane, Limpopo. The project area includes 4 farms(A) located adjacent to the

Zandrivierspoort low-grade magnetite iron ore deposit of Kumba Resources(B).

Page 16: Sekoko Resources...Waterberg Project • Total of 8 tenements, with total surface area of 7,500 ha • Adjacent to existing Exxaro Mine, Grootegeluk • Initial drilling by Sekoko

Capricorn Iron Ore

Sekoko has 2 Iron Ore Prospecting Rights on the

farms DeLoskop, Roodewal, Ruigedraai and

Kalkfontein with a total exploration target of iron ore

mineralisation estimated at 200Mt at a

grade of between 30% Fe and 40% Fe. The

target formation, the Zandrivierspoort Banded

Ironstone Formation (BIF), hosts mineralisation

at a locality 35km to the SE at a grade of 35%

Fe where the geology of the regional deposits

is well understood as a result of historical

exploration having been undertaken previously

by ISCOR/Kumba.

Exploration Results

• Main coal zone at shallow depths ranging

from 22 to 26 metres

• The coal zone varies in thickness from 13

to 22 metres

• Free Swelling Indices were mostly in the

range 5 to 7 indicating that the coal has

coking potential

• Coal qualities are quite attractive with

theoretical yields of up to 50% for a 12%

ash product
