• Listed on AIM market of the London Stock Exchange
• UK developer of a 1.4 billion tonne JORC lignite coal resource
• Experienced Management Team
• Appointment of international reputed consultants
• MOU with Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC); 300MW initially increasing to 1,100MW in a phased out program
• Definitive Feasibility Study completed
• Mine construction expected to commence in H2 2012
• Target 5 million tonnes per annum expected H2 2015 to feed power sector
Market• Demand for electricity in Pakistan projected to outstrip supply for next 20 years• Coal to become increasingly important as an energy resource

Increasing demand for Coal in Pakistan
Market
• Critical power shortage worsening, with regular power cuts and blackouts in Karachi:
population approximately 20 million
• Pakistan has a population of 180m people, sixth largest in the world
• GDP growth has averaged 5.2% over the last 8 years
• Demand for electricity in Pakistan projected to outstrip supply for next 20 years
• Domestic coal to become increasingly important as an energy resource. In 2008/2009 coal
accounted for less than 1% of Pakistan’s power sector which is expected to rise to 17% by 2025
• International coal price rising steadily

Background on the Thar Coalfield
5
• 175bn tonnes of coal, over a 9,100 square kilometre area in South Eastern Pakistan
• Geological Survey of Pakistan (GSP) discovered huge deposits of coal in the Thar Desert in 1992 during a research program assisted by United States Geological Survey (USGS). Further consultant studies conducted by John T. Boyd, RWE, Shenhua, GSP, SCA (CNGB)
• Well situated for infrastructure and in close proximity to road and rail
• Oracle Coalfields, Block VI is 66.1 square kilometres; The cumulative coal in Phase 1 of Block VI licence area ranges between 16.9m to 39.76m lignite to sub-bituminous in rank
• In 2006 China NE Geological Survey Bureau drilled 35 boreholes, on Block VI a total of 9,852 metres, validated by independent consultants after further drilling to take it to JORC resource. A further detailed drilling programme completed including hydrogeology and geotechnical drilling.
• 1.4 billion tonne JORC lignite coal resource of which 371Mt net attributable proven reserve

Commercially Viable Lignite Coal
Thar Block VI
The cumulative coal in Phase 1 of Block VI licence area ranges between 16.9m to 39.76m lignite to sub-bitumous in rank:
•Average gross calorific value of 3,537kcal/kg •Average ash content of 7.5% (as received)•Moisture content of 40.4 % (as received)•Sulphur content of 1.2% (as received)
The primary use of the coal will be for power

Mine Development
Phase One Phase Two
Phase I includes the Mine with coal reserves sufficient for opening a power plant of 300 MW. Phase II of the Open Pit Mine development enables expansion of the Power Plant with approximate power of 800 MW. During the Phase I operation of the Mine, all overburden will be dumped out of the pit. During Phase II operation, the spoil will be dumped in the pit, filling the void behind operations as the mine progresses.
