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.
GVK Railway - Status

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

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

GVK / Hancock’s Community Focus
• Alpha Community Support Program
• Enterprise Whitsundays Partnership
Program
– Regional Indigenous Employment
Program
These community support programs
cover the areas of:
– Education and Training
– Environment
– Arts and Culture
– Health and Safety
– Community / Charity
– Sports

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
23
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 thermal seaborne import coal demand by country and by rank, China, India, all others (Mt)
24
Reasons why GVK invested in this Project
25
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
