Coal Inventory: Occurrence of coal of economic interest which forms the physical envelope that encompasses a Coal Resource or Coal Reserve, or both, and includes Reconnaissance, Inferred, Indicated and Measured Coal Resources, together with any associated Probable and Proven Coal Reserves.

These data represent tonnage estimates compiled in accordance with the principles and guidelines of the JORC code or NI 43-101 by a Competent (Qualified) Person or Persons.

Due to the uncertainty which may be attached to some Inferred Mineral Resources, it cannot be assumed, but normally would be expected, that a major part of an Inferred Coal Resource will be upgraded to an Indicated or Measured Coal Resource as a result of continued exploration.

OPERATION OVERVIEWTwo underground mining areas – Aquila and Grasstree

• 70% ownership in joint venture with Mitsui Coal Holdings

• Estimated underground mining coal inventory at Capcoal of 770 million tonnes with reserves of 60 million tonnes

• Key operational data

– Produced 5 Mtpa ROM in 2010 following the closure of the Bundoora mine in 2009

– Prime-quality hard coking coal for export to North Asia, India, Europe and Brazil

– Dry yield is approximately 70% - 72%– Current Life of Mine for Grasstree is to the

end of 2019– The mine depth varies from approx 220m to

400m– Three development units rising to four units.– The seam being mined is the German Creek

ASSET OPTIMISATIONLongwall100 : Targeting 100 operational hours per week in the Longwall

• The Longwall100 project will target longwallperformance by focusing on shift performance, engineering, reliability and development initiatives

• 102.2 cutting hours achieved from Wednesday 8 June through to Wednesday 15 June

• Engineered improvements have been made to the Control Start Transmissions (CST’s), the Armoured Face Conveyor (AFC) and Beam Stage Loader (BSL) chains as well as the Grasstree conveyor system to improve reliability

• Longwall100 will be the launch pad for improvement programs seeking to improve cutting rate (Tons / hour) from 2012 to 2014
