CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS

I am pleased to advise that your company continues to pursue opportunities particularly in China and South Africa, to utilise our patented Binderless Coal Briquetting technology (bcb) on bituminous coal fines which due to their size, and often wet nature cannot be sold or handled as a fine coal product.

However we do not propose further work in Indonesia to upgrade their mainly high moisture sub-bituminous coal until we have completed our legal case with PT Bayan Resources

Tbk and Bayan International Pte Ltd and have received just compensation for their repudiation in 2011 of our joint venture with them.

Indonesian export thermal coals are generally very high in moisture and as environmental constraints are applied in receiving countries, these coals lend themselves to upgrading using our bcb technology.

Once the court has determined the damages amount owing to us, your directors will vigorously pursue the recovery of such amount.

I thank the Directors, all staff and shareholders for their support during the past year and I recommend shareholders' approval for the resolutions to be voted on at the 2020 Annual General Meeting which will be held on the Lumi online platform due to COVID-19 restrictions on travel and gatherings.

TRAVERS DUNCAN
