"RED HILL"

MINING LEASE REQUIREMENTS

The applicanUs will require the proposed mining lease and partial surface area for the futureexpansion of the adjacent Broadmeadow underground longwall mine from the adjacent Goonyella­Riverside mining lease (ML 1763). The area applied for covers the current footprint of EPC 554 andMDLs 307 & 358, known as the Red Hill area.

The proposed mining program has been developed following the completion of the Goonyella MineLife of Asset planning process in August 2009. The proposed underground longwall layout shown inthe attached drawings is based on current market and exploration information and development andlongwall mining activities at Broadmeadow Mine since it commenced longwall mining in August 2005.

Historically, Goonyella has sold coking coal to the export market as a blend of coal from differentseams and also coal with different rank. This successful approach has meant that Goonyella hassupplied a coal quality specification that has been well received by customers across the world. Thiscoal product has involved blending coals with different rank. This underground mine layout is designedto continue with this ability to blend higher rank (deeper depth) coals with lower rank (shallowerdepths) coals to maintain an acceptable coal quality specification to the Goonyella Coking coalproduct in the international coking coal market.

This longwall panel layout shown will mine coal predominantly higher rank coal for blendingappropriately with lower rank coal produced from different open cut pits at Goonyella so as to continueto supply the coking coal market at approved annual production levels.

To achieve the blending requirements that are coupled with an efficient mine layout that is designed tominimise capital investment costs and operating costs, panel development mining will cross over theMining Lease boundary into the Mining Lease Application No 1 around September 2013 so thatlongwall mining can commence in the deeper reserve area in September 2015.

Other reasons for this layout design and production or mining schedule is that production and miningcosts can be averaged over the life of a longwall panel as it extracts the deeper and higher cost coalfirst and progressively extracts its way up hill to shallow and lower cost coal. This proposed minelayout will lower the investment risk compared to a full new Mine development that would occur if themining these deepest reserves is delayed to a later time when the cost of investment to build a Minethat is mining between 300 - 800 metres depth will be substantially higher and probably harder tojustify the investment given the higher mining risk and substantially higher investment cost. There is adistinct chance that these deepest reserves may not be economic to mine and would be lost to theQueensland people.
