2. REGULATION 11(1)(b) PLAN SHOWING THE LAND AND MINING AREA TO WHICH THE APPLICATION RELATES ( the plan require in terms of Regulation 2(2))

PREAMBLE Kleinkopje Colliery is an opencast coal mine located 15 km south of Emalahleni. The Colliery was established to supply export coal but also supplies coal to the local South African market. Kleinkopje Colliery forms part of the South African Coal Estates complex (alongside with Greenside and Landau Collieries). It currently mines virgin coal reserves in addition to large areas that was

5

previously mined underground using bord-and-pillar methods. Kleinkopje started production in 1978 in the 3A & 4E block producing three products LAC,Inland and RB1. The mine increased production in 1983 and maintained the production by first establishing 2A South and 5W pit. In 1998 the 2A North pit was established, still maintaining the product mix of LAC, Inland and RB1. The mine went through an expansion phase in 2003 and operated five draglines and four pits. In 2008 the 5W pit was converted into a Raw domestic product supply to Liketh. The mine currently operates at 3.8Mtpa saleable production from two main pits, reducing from a historic base of +/- 5 Mtpa saleable. The mine operates on a stripping ratio of approximately 4.8 but in the future this figure will increase to approximately 6.0 and result in an increase in the Dragline, truck and shovel and dozer pushover volumes to approximately 22 million BCM's/annum. A boxcut was successfully introduced to join up the 2AS and 2AN pits in 2012/13. The export saleable profile will be maintained and increased with the further plan to relocate the 5W pit machinery to the 2A pit in 2017. These changes were brought about in an attempt to position the mine as a value adding entity in the Anglo American Thermal Coal. The driving force behind the reconfiguration was to focus our attention on a single export pit ensuring improved productivity and optimizing extraction of the multiple seams. 3A North Pit was rehabilitated at the end of year 2014 and rehabilitation focus will move the 5W pit after its closure in 2017. With closure of 5 West pit the saleable profile has reduced to such an extent that it necessitate further exlporation of possible reserves. Mining of the reserves below the 2A Dam, which falls within the mining right boundares, was found to be feasible to extend the life of the mine as well as sustaining jobs.

Kleinkopje Colliery previously had two approved Environmental Management Programme Reports (EMPRs) (2001 and 2004) for the mining operations near Witbank, Mpumalanga as well as two unapproved addendums to their EMPR (the EMalahleni Water Reclamation Plant (2006) and the Greenside Expansion Project (2006)). These EMPR’s were consolidated in 2012 and approved by the DMR in September 2012.

ITEM DETAIL

Type of mineral Coal Locality (Direction and distance from nearest

town)

Kleinkopje Colliery is 130 km due east of Johannesburg, and is approximately 10 km south of Witbank. Kleinkopje lies immediately to the south of Greenside and Goedehoop Colliery is to the southeast. Kleinkopje is also bordered by Tweefontein Colliery (Glencore) to the west and Douglas Colliery (BHP Billiton) to the east.

Extent of the area required for mining

5 West = 10.2 Ha 2 A Block = 421.0Ha Total = 431.0 Ha

Extent of the area required for infrastructure, roads, servitudes etc

Total surface Area = 8400 Ha

8

Depth of the mineral below surface Depth to the base of the No.1 Seam may range from 20 to 90 m below surface, and is directly related to surface weathering features and the Pre Karoo basement topography. Future re-mining of the Klippan co-facility disposal will take place on surface.

Geological formation General: The stratigraphy of the coal resource is typical of the Witbank Coalfield. The coal resources are contained mainly within the No.1 Seam(17%), No.2 (64%) and No.4 Seam (19%) whereas the No.3 Seam is too thin to be economically mined, and the No. 5 seam is not in the current mine plan. The No.1 Seam occurs in the southern part of the Block 2A extending through the eastern half of Kleinkopje’s mined out Block 4 East into Block 5 West . The No.2 Seam is present over virtually the whole of the Kleinkopje reserve area. The No.2 Seam sub-outcrops to the north of the Block 2A area, the eastern side of Block 4 East and the northern boundary of Block 5 West . The No.3 Seam, although of good quality, is too thin and has thus not been mined, and is a marker horizon

9

in the Block 2A and 5 West mining areas. The No.4 Seam is present in the Block 2A resource areas. Only remnants of the No.5 Seam are present, as the majority has been mined out by underground methods with up to 75% extraction. Refer to Appendix B1 for more detail.

5.7 Summary of infrastructure requirements such as roads, rail,

electricity and water Kleinkopje Colliery is an opencast strip mine removing both virgin and previously mined coal seams. The coal is exposed by means of draglines (currently 2 operational,1 on rehabilitation of spoils) and coal is loaded by means of truck and shovel. Dewatering ahead of cut to ensure continual mining is critical using pumps and pumpstations as required to dewater pits for coal extraction. The coal is washed by the on-site dense medium separation plant to an average Calorific Value of 27.40MJ/kg (to produce a product known as AAC). The beneficiation plant makes use of Wemco drums, DMS cyclones and spiral circuits to wash the coal, where the product is then sent via a 8km overland conveyor belt to the Rapid Loading Terminal (RLT). Here the coal is either loaded into trains. The Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT) is used to export coal to customers overseas. Liketh Investments purchases on a contract basis, the coal from Kleinkopje 5 West pit which is dedicated to the domestic market. The coal is loaded from this pit is stockpiled on a designated area, where the Liketh blends for quality purposes and road hauls to end users. in addditon poorer quality coal specifically from 5W is also being treaded and predominatly used to blend for the Eskom domestic product. Expansion Options: With the recent reconfiguration of the Kleinkopje colliery (2A Extention), no additioanl infrastructure will be required.

5.8 Summary of other information applied that may influence price, e.g.

exchange rate, duties, tariff barriers etc. Export coal prices are based on the API Indices and influenced by the international sea bourne cargo rates. Prices are determined most commonly by negotiation with the customer on the link to the ruling API Index (excluding transport costs) for the relevant quality (typically API 4 = 6000 Kcal/Kg product or API 2 Index = delivered into Europe). Prices can be spot or can be fixed quarterly or annually. The price will typically be in US$. The API 4 Index (as determined independently) is the simple arithmetic mean of: • The FOB Richards Bay assessment published each Friday in Argus Coal Daily International and Argus Coal Daily. • The FOB Richards Bay price as published every Friday in McCloskey’s Fax and fortnightly in McCloskey’s Coal Report. • The SACR (South African Coal Report) Europe Spot Price Indicator as published every Friday in “From the Coal Face”; and monthly in South African Coal Report. The current market API 4 price for typical South African coal has shown significant variation over the last years.

5.9 The price to be used in the cash flow forecast. About 65% of the coal produced at Kleinkopje Colliery is for the local South African national power utility, with the balance being thermal coal for export via Richards Bay to the international market. this will change drastically with the closure of 5W after which the mine will be mainly export orientated from 2018. Prices are determined most commonly by negotiation with the customer on the linked to the ruling API Index (excluding transport costs) for the relevant quality (typically API 4 = 6000 Kcal/Kg product or API 2 Index = delivered into Europe). Prices can be spot or can be fixed quarterly or annually. The price will typically be in US$. The API

13

4 Index (as determined independently) is the simple arithmetic mean of: • The FOB Richards Bay assessment published each Friday in Argus Coal Daily International and Argus Coal Daily. • The FOB Richards Bay price as published every Friday in McCloskey’s Fax and fortnightly in McCloskey’s Coal Report. • The SACR (South African Coal Report) Europe Spot Price Indicator as published every Friday in “From the Coal Face”; and monthly in South African Coal Report. The current market API 4 price for typical South African coal has shown significant variation over the last years.

5.10 Confirmation that a specialist market analysis is attached as an appendix which explains the assumptions made and how the price was determined. The mine uses Anglo American Marketing Limited to deal with pricing and marketing. Hence a marketing specialist analysis was not deemed necessary.

6.2 Technically justified estimate of the period required (Description of the rate of production, estimated payable reserve ratio, efficiency factors and extraction rates, relative to available resources to justify the period applied for).

Both pit's at Kleinkopje Colliery are mined utilizing opencast methods. In both pits the main method/equipment for exposing the various coal seams are Draglines. From pit 5W 2 seam is mined for domestic market, and 1 seam for export market, while in pit 2A 4 seam, 2 seam and 1 seam are mined for export market with the inclusion of 5 seam from 2017. The 2 seam mined in pit 2A consists of previously mined underground workings. In all the pits the appropriate mining extractions is applied to cater for the conditions. due to the previous working, mining by OC means is the only opportunity. The main focus pit going forward is the 2A pit. Due to the prevaling poor market conditions this pit has been redefined to be a two dragline pit. The rates and production profile has been based on historical performance with the inclusion of streched improvement requirements. Margin ranking has been applied over the full area to ensure maximisation of reserve extraction.

OF THE MINING TECHNIQUE, MINING TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCTION RATES (excluding labour and capital)

7.1 Mine design map

(Include a high level map indicating the basic mine design and schematic mining schedule).

Kleinkopje Colliery is an opencast strip mine removing both virgin and previously mined coal seams for the export and domestic market. The coal is exposed by means of draglines, and coal is loaded by means of truck and shovel. See Attachment D for the Mine Design Plan. Three coal seams are currently mined, namely, the No.1 Seam, No. 2 Seam and No. 4 Seam, with the 5 Seam to be mined in future. Export coal produced from pit 2A (dewatering ahead to ensure continual mining) is washed by the on-site dense medium separation plant to an average Calorific Value of 27.40MJ/kg (to produce a product known as AAC). The beneficiation plant makes use of drums, cyclones and spiral circuits to wash the coal, where the product is then sent via a >8km conveyor belt to the Rapid Loading Terminal (RLT). Here the coal is either sent via trains to the Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT) for export customers or to local markets in South Africa. Pit 5 West is dedicated to provide coal to the local market. Liketh Investments purchases on a contract basis, the coal from Kleinkopje 5 West pit which is dedicated to the domestic market. The coal is loaded from this pit is stockpiled on a designated area, where the Liketh blends for quality purposes and road hauls to end users. To aid in the blending of this coal, some of the coal form 5W is benificiated to ensure the quality paramanters are met. See Appendix E and A4.1 for plan and plant layout.

7.2 Description of the mining method’s impact on operating cost.

7.2.1 Basic overview of the mining method The key parameters determining the mining method employed at Kleinkopje Colliery includes the following: • Increasing depth of the coal deposit, • Extent of previous underground mining (bord and pillar), • Propensity for Spontaneous Combustion (Sponcom), • Multiple seam coal operation, • Saleable stripping ratio, • Equipment limitations, • Environmental considerations Pit 2A - Export Pit The dig method and cut layout of the export pit was changed in 2012. Pits 2A South and 2A North are now mined as a single pit ('U-shaped' layout). In 2013 the 2 pits mentioned above were connected by a box cut resulting in a single pit for export. This resulted in a pit length of ± 4km in 2A. In addition the dig method has also be changed in some areas from a double pass operation to a single pass operation, which means that both the No. 4 Seam and No. 2 Seam are simultaneously exposed by Dragline 4 (Ndlovu) in some of the areas. This will result in a double cut method with both the overburden cut and interburden cut at a width of 50m. There will be a blasted interburden buffer as well that will assist in managing Sponcom by preventing ingress of air into the next cut. The No. 5 Seam, No. 4 Seam, No. 2 Seam and No. 1 Seam operation occur in this pit. The No. 2 Seam is characterized by large areas previously mined by underground bord and pillar methods. Pit 5 West – Domestic Coal Pit Dragline 5 (Bhejane) is situated in this 5 West Pit, where only 2-Seam and 1-Seam operations take place. No spontaneous

17

combustion occurs in this pit and the deposit has no underground workings. This pit will close in 2017 and the DL will reloacte to 2A. Roof coal Dump: re-mining will be conducted using ordinary truck and shovel operations and no blasting will be required. This is predominatly used to assist in the blending to achieve the required quality for the deteriorating quality form 5W.

7.2.2 Description of equipment and activities impacting

electricity cost (excluding the processing plant) The power supply for the mining operations is transmitted at 132 KV from Eskom to the Eskom Kleinkopje 22 KV substation. The substation consists of two 20 MVA transformers which supplies two 22 KV incomer feeders that supply the Kleinkopje Plant and opencast operations. The Kleinkopje substation has 5 feeders supplying the operations, the plant, Pit 3A, Pit 5W and Pit 2A. The 22 KV bus section are open in the Kleinkopje substation to isolate the power supply to the plant due to regeneration from the opencast equipment. The three feeders feeding the different pit areas transmit the power through overhead power lines to the different transformers (10 MVA and 6 MVA) in the different pit areas. From the transformers, splitter-skids and breaker-skids are supplied through pex cable. Equipment is supplied from the breaker skids with power using flexible trailing cable. Underground cable crossings are provided where the overhead power lines are crossing the main haul roads. Power for in-pit pumping is derived from separate spur lines and transformers installed for this purpose. The supply of electricity from Eskom to Kleinkopje Colliery is regulated under the terms of a Power Supply Agreement. Equipment impacting on electricity costs:

8.1 High level description of the processing plant

8.1.1 Basic plant design. (supported by a process flow diagram, of the

plant).

Run of mine coal is received in an 800 tons per hour capacity tip; i.e. C-tip. It is put through Osborn rotary breakers for size reduction to -150mm before being conveyed to a storage and blending stockpile with capacity of 40 000 tons. The rocks from the rotary breaker are conveyed to a stone bin from which they get hauled to the disposal site using articulated dump truck (ADT). The coal from the stockpile is reclaimed with the bucket-wheel reclaimer and gets classified into two size fractions; (-150, +12 mm) and -12mm, using a banana screen. This coal then gets conveyed into ROM holding silos 1 and 4 from which the Wemco drum separator plant and dense medium cyclone (DMC) plant respectively get their coal. The nominal feed rate of the Wemco drum separator and the dense medium cyclone (DMC) is 500 tons per hour. Prior to beneficiation, preparatory wet screening is done on the feed to plant for removal of fines which get treated separately at the fines circuit using a teetered bed separator (TBS) and spirals. Heavy medium separation is used for coal beneficiation in both the Wemco drum and the DMCs. After the separation units, the products (coal product and discard) are subjected to draining-off

23

and rinsing-off of medium for medium recovery to be reused in the plant. The product coal from the DMCs and Wemco drum gets mixed and conveyed to product storage bunkers. From the bunkers it is subjected to screening and crushing to achieve the -50mm final product size. The correctly sized material is mixed with the fines product and gets conveyed through an automated sampling plant, where samples for quality control are taken and then conveyed into 2000 ton silos for storage. From the silos the product is conveyed to the Rapid Loading Terminal (RLT) where it is loaded in trains for dispatch to the Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT). The discard, from the DMCs, Wemco drum and the fines circuit, gets conveyed into a 500 ton capacity silo before being conveyed to the Klippan discard co-disposal facility. The slimes obtained from desliming of the fines in the fines circuit report to a conventional thickener for thickening before it gets pumped to the co-discard disposal facility. See Appendix E Beneficiation Process: The coal preparation plant at Kleinkopje is designed to process ROM coal which is then beneficiated to produce export coal at 27.40MJ/kg with additional capacity utalised to produce a lower quality product for either Eskom blend or export market. Raw Coal Handling: The raw coal handling system (commonly known as the ‘Front-End’) consists of three tips, namely, A, B and C tips (currently A tip is mothballed). The C-tip consists of a single

24

Osborn breaker fed by an apron feeder at a rate of 1,000 tph. Nominal crushed ROM sizing: • A-Side 150mm • B-Side 150mm • C-Side 100mm The crushed ROM is stacked separately onto two ROM stockpiles via stackers. The stockpiles have a capacity of 40,000 tons per side. The system has the optional flexibility of allowing ROM coal to come straight through the plant without having to be stacked. This is only used during unforeseen circumstances. The front-end is equipped with metal detectors and self cleaning belt magnets to remove tramp metal arising from old underground workings. Non-metallic tramp material is hand-picked from the system and disposed of into the waste containers provided. Rocks and coal that are not broken in the breakers are transferred to a 50 ton rock bin or stone bin. Washing Mode: Coal reclaimed from the ROM stockpiles is screened at the banana screen and classified into +12 mm and -12mm size fractions. This coal then gets conveyed into ROM holding silos 1 and 4 respectively. The +12mm fraction is washed in Wemco Drums, the -12mm, +0.5mm fraction in 610mm cast iron DSM Cyclones and the -0.5mm fraction undergoes classification to remove -150µm material before it is beneficiated in the Teeter Bed Separator, product of which reports to triple-start Multotec MX7 Spirals for further quality upgrade. The -150µm material is then fed to one of two thickeners where it is flocculated and pumped to the slimes dam. The product coal from the DMCs and Wemco drum gets mixed and conveyed to product storage bunkers. From the bunkers it is subjected to screening and crushing to

25

achieve the -50mm final product size. The correctly sized material is mixed with the fines product and gets conveyed through an automated sampling plant, where samples for quality control are taken and then conveyed into two 2000 ton silos for storage (silos 6 & 7). The plants discard, from the DMCs, Wemco drum and the fines circuit, gets conveyed into a 500 ton capacity silo before being conveyed to the Klippan residue deposit co-disposal facility. The slimes obtained from desliming of the fines in the fines circuit report to a conventional thickener for thickening before it gets pumped to the discard disposal facility. Residue Deposit Facility (formerly known as the Discard Disposal Facility): The Klippan residue deposit facility operates on the co-disposal principle where the fine residue slurry (slimes) is impounded within walls constructed of coarse residue material. The facility was commissioned in 1992 and was designed with capacity to cater for the life of mine to 2017 accommodating some 22.4 Mm3 (million cubic metres) of slimes and 37.9 Mm3 of coarse residue material. The final shape of the facility was designed as a terraced profile incorporating overall side slope ratio of 1 vertical:2.5 horizontal (1v:2.5h) with a maximum height set at 50 metres. In early 2002, the projected life of mine was extended to 2025 thus increasing the quantities of material to 20.7 Mm3 of slimes and 55.1 Mm3 of coarse residue material over and above that which had already been placed. In addition, the final profile of the facility was changed to the more environmentally acceptable whaleback profile incorporation 1v:5h side slopes. In order to accommodate the increased volumes of residue material and the

whaleback profile whilst maintaining the existing maximum height it was necessary to revise the shape of the slimes compartment and extend the overall residue deposit footprint. The only available area for expansion is to the west of the facility onto the rehabilitated open cast mining ground. It is worthwhile noting that there are large soil stockpiles in this area which need to be relocated before the area can be fully utilised for storage of the residue material. Development over the life of the facility generally followed the design parameters apart from the slimes quantities which have been less than predicted. This resulted in coarse residue developing to a much higher elevation than the slimes, particularly considering the expanded compartment to allow for the whaleback profile. In 2006 the residue deposit facility should have commenced extension to the west to provide deposition area for residue material; however funds were not available to relocate the soil stockpiles. In addition the life of mine was being re-evaluated in the light of poor mining conditions which would likely reduce the total residue deposit facility capacity accordingly it was decided to close in a portion of the slimes compartment with coarse residue material to provide interim tipping space. This has worked well and has permitted the slimes level to increase relative to the coarse residue material. Concurrent rehabilitation of the outer slopes of the facility forms part of the ongoing operation. Rehabilitation consists of cladding the residue deposits with a layer of soil which is then vegetated. Terraces formed on the north and east as per the original profile have been cladded and vegetated. In these sections, the terraces will remain as part of the final shape with the whaleback profile developing above. The whaleback

27

profile is steadily progressing and the first 4ha section at the designed final extent is currently being rehabilitated. The maximum height of the facility above natural ground level is currently some 28 metres and the difference in elevation between the slimes and top of coarse residue material in the perimeter wall is 9 metres. Going forward opportunity exists to reduce the discard footprint by utalising the exisiting mineral residue deposits as coal feed to an IPP.

8.1.2 Efficiency of the process. (together with an estimate of the mineral

recovery rate, and the expected mass or volume of mine waste or residues together with the manner in which it would be disposed of.)

The plant recovery system is designed on the following: Slimes portion is approximately 10% of plant feed reports directly to the slimes dam. The dense medium feed portion is approximately 80% of plant feed is designed at a 95% recovery rate (organic efficiency). The spirals portion is approximately 10% plant feed is deigned at a 80% recovery rate. Daily plant yield targets are generated by the Geology Department using Gradecon. Daily actual yields are reconciled back to the targets. Composite discard samples have a washability analysis done on them. The misplaced product in the discard is measured and compared to a targeted 1% of plant feed. Recovery rates : Plant Feed is approximately 5.0Mt per annum going forward Product yield is approximately 55%

28

Discard yield is approximately 35% Slimes yields is approximately 10% The processing of coal in the Kleinkopje coal washing plant produces waste materials in the form of a fine fraction, known as slimes, and a coarse fraction known as discards (also referred to as coarse discards). Both of these are disposed of at the Klippan discard disposal facility which operates on the co-disposal principle where the slimes is impounded within walls constructed of compacted coarse discard. The design philosophy adopted for the Klippan facility is to operate the residue stockpile in a smooth whaleback shape whist the discards is exposed, thereby encouraging runoff and reducing infiltration. When the residue stockpile reaches its final extremities, in areas where there is sufficient available ground space the whaleback profile will be maintained with a maximum slope of 1V:5H. The facility was commissioned in 1992 and has the capacity to cater for the life of mine to year 2025 accommodating 22.4 Mm3 of slimes and 37.9 Mm3 of coarse discards with the upside potential of the IPP usage to reduce volume. The proposed re-mining of this residue stockpile will significantly reduce the total volume of final discard over time.
