Forecast Australian Liquid FuelSupply and Demand

“The Surat Coal Basin with UCG-GTL has potential to becomeAustralia’s next Bass Strait”

By 2014-15 Australia will be importing around 600,000 barrels a daywhich at $100/barrel would cost Australia almost $25 Billion p.a.

METROCOAL LTD - JUANDAH 172 MtCOAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE

The JORC-compliant Inferred and Indicated Resource estimate was prepared following asuccessful 16 hole drilling program completed on the Juandah coal project.The drilling campaign delineated the target Macalister Upper Seam in all 16 boreholes andis continuous and correlateable across the drilled area, generating the resource estimateannounced today, and which comprises:

Juandah Project Macalister Upper Coal Seam ResourceInferred Resource 149.2MtIndicated Resource 22.5MtInferred & Indicated 171.7Mt

Coal resource estimation has been carried out over the Juandah Project Area inaccordance with the JORC Code. The inferred resource estimate is based on points ofobservation no more than 4km apart and not exceeding 1km past the last data point. Theindicated resource estimate is based on points of observation no more than 1km apart. Theworking section used comprises the MU10, MU20, MU30, MU40 and MU50 ply’s of theMacalister Upper Seam. The Macalister Lower Seam and all uncorrelated coal has beenexcluded from the resource estimate.Coal quality appears typical of Surat Basin coals with laboratory analysis showing insituspecific energy of the working sections averaging 20.6 MJ/kg on an air dried basis (forfurther information see Metallica ASX Release 28 May 2009).

Competent Persons StatementThe information in this statement that relates to in situ coal results and resources is based on information compiled by GeoConsult and reviewed by Warwick Smyth, who is amember of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (CP) Geology; and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Warwick Smyth is a qualified geologist (BSc Geol,Grad Dip AF&I, MAusIMM (CP), MGSA, MAIG), and has over 17 years experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation, the type of deposit under consideration and tothe activity which has been undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the 2004 edition of the Australia Code for Reporting of Coal Resources. Warwick Smythconsents in writing to the inclusion in the statement of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears.
