Milestones Achieved

Technical Design – has been completed for a 60Mtpa from both a construction and operation perspective. Focus is on

earthworks and geotechnical (completed by June 2012) which will be undertaken in the Early Contractor Involvement phase

(which precedes the final EPC bid in February 2013) and Financial Close.

Advanced Approvals – The Co-ordinator General‟s Report was issued on 29 May 2012. which was subsequently ratified by

the Federal Government. This is a major approval milestone for the rail. The GVK rail corridor alignment was endorsed as the

preferred South to North corridor by the Queensland State Government on 6 June 2012. The Mine & Rail were also granted

approval under the EPBC Act by the Federal Government on 23 August 2012.

Rail Corridor Land – More than two thirds of the rail corridor (by chainage) has commercial arrangements/agreements in

place.

Construction - Two contract consortia short listed.

Infrastructure Operators Shortlisted – we have an established short list for above and below rail operators.

Operational modeling - has been completed and includes modeling for short listed third party rail haulage customers.

RIM accreditation – has been granted under the Transport (Rail Safety) Act 2010 (Qld).

Rollingstock – Locomotive and coal wagon sourcing being progressed.

McKinsey – we have retained McKinsey to review opex and capex savings across the construction and operation of the

railway.

Overview GVK Infrastructure has been appointed preferred developer of the

GVK Port Terminal

Key features of the development include:

– Two rail receival dump stations located in a single common

concrete vault and building, situated on the proposed rail loop

corridor

– Two inloading conveyor streams running in parallel, consisting of

four inloading conveyors per stream, feeding coal to the

stockyard

– A single stockyard consisting of four stockpile rows arranged

either side of two parallel machine bunds (two rows per bund)

– Two machine bunds, each supporting two stacker/reclaimer

machines

– Two outloading conveyor streams running in parallel, consisting

of five outloading conveyors, surge bin, sample plant and

shiploader on each stream

– One common piled jetty structure, two piled wharf structures to

support the offshore outloading conveyors, shiploaders and

access roadways and multiple, piled berthing and mooring

dolphins

– Civil infrastructure, including stockyard drains, sediment ponds,

stormwater return dam and dredge spoil disposal bunds

GVK‟s proposed

offshore terminal

Dual high capacity (9,500 tph)

train unload stations in a common

vault

Approximately 2Mt of stockyard

and dredging approvals.

• Infrastructure Operators Shortlisted – we have established a short list for port operators

• Port Capacity for Third Party Rail Customers– a number of the potential rail customers are

seeking access to port capacity.

• EPBC Act “T3” approval received 10 October 2012

• Construction Contract – Samsung and Smithbridge Joint Venture announced 17 October

Water

A three pronged approach is being considered for the supply of water to the mine

• Pit dewatering bores will provide the required construction water and supplement the water

demand during operations

• Operations water will be supplied by either

o Water harvesting (during high flow periods) from the Belyando/Suttor system and storage in

multiple, low evaporation design, dams

o Water pipeline (approximately 220km) from the Fairbairn Dam - sufficient water allocations

have been purchased or options are in place to purchase

Local Opportunities

T3 Operational Workforce – approximately 100 full-time employees

Mine Operational Workforce (inc CHPP) – approximately 1600 employees (including shutdowns)

Rail Operational Workforce - approximately 200 full-time employees

• Operations workforce will be engaged on a mix of continuous shift, rotating day shift and day work

• Expect that operations workforce will be locally and regionally based

• GVK committed to providing opportunities for locals to undertake training and development

• The Alpha Coal Project is committed to working with businesses and industry in the region and will encourage

our contractors to partner or establish strategic relationships with local firms through the contracting and ECI

process

• The project‟s Industry Capability Network (ICN) gateway is currently the principle means of communicating with

potential suppliers and contractors

Market Demand and Customer Base

Page 23: Alpha Coal mine and rail project

World thermal demand will more than triple in volume, mainly fuelled by the insatiable demand

of China and India, reaching 2.1 Bt by 2030. This represents an increase of 1.4 Bt over 2011‟s

expected 728 Mt – or effectively two Alpha projects per annum. Growth is primarily concentrated

in the Pacific basin.

Global Seaborne Thermal Coal Demand

Global Cost Curve (2021)

The Alpha Coal project is expected to sit on the first quartile of the global thermal coal cost curve

(2021). It is expected to be amongst the most cost efficient mines in Australia

Note: Global seaborne supply is forecast to be ~1.4Bt in 2021
