Update on Coal Offtake Finance Letter of Intent
Cokal Limited ( ASX:CKA , “ Cokal ” or “the Company”) provides an update further to the Company’s ASX releases of 20 December 2017 and 2 January 2018, in respect of its negotiations with Renjian International Trading (Shanghai) Co Ltd (Renjian) in respect of a coal off-take agreement for 2.5 million tonnes of premium PCI coal from the BBM PCI Project.
As a consequence of the intensive negotiations with Renjian, the outcome from extensive financial modeling demonstrated the proposed discounts requested by Renjian to secure prefunding proved to be unacceptable to Cokal. While the proposed discounts discussed are workable in the current PCI market where the Platts LV PCI price is currently US$146/tonne (FOB Australia), Cokal’s Board is concerned that this unusually high price is most likely unsustainable. Consequently, Cokal believes these extensive discounts would leave the company exposed to losses over the 50 month period of the contract to supply coal to Renjian. The Platts PCI Index history clearly illustrates a considerable variation, even as recent as November last year the LV PCI price was stable at US$118/tonne, and in the last 2 months it rose to a high of US$156/tonne.
With this in mind the Board is of the view that it is in the C ompany’s and shareholders’ best interests not to proceed with the current terms discussed with Renjian, and continue discussions with several parties who have engaged with the C ompany for a better deal subsequent to the Renjian proposal. In addition, Cokal has asked Renjian to submit a straight purchase price for the PCI product on offer. Not only is the C ompany’s coal operations sufficiently advanced to attract strong interest from an international array of customers for its PCI, but the climate and pricing for all metallurgical coals have improved to a point where Cokal believes that a number of possible funding options discussed to date allow it flexibility to conclude a funding arrangement that has a better result for shareholder value and has an acceptable level of risk with respect to the coal price over the 4 year life of the PCI contract.

Update on Initial Coal Sale from BBM Anak – Cokal completes loading coal from Intermediate Stockpile (ISP).
Completion of loading the whole stockpile of coal from the ISP has been achieved and the barges are on their way to be loaded onto the mother vessel at Taborneo off-shore loading facility in South Kalimantan. The first barge of approximately 4,560 tonnes has completed its cargo superintending and the certificate of sampling and analysis, as well as the cargo survey, has been accepted by the customer without penalty.
Barging from the C ompany’s BBM Anak mine site to the ISP was delayed over the December period by the low levels of the river despite this being the rainy season. The water levels have since recovered substantially due to the seasonal rains returning and barging has recommenced from BBM Anak mine site to stockpile the next cargo for sale.
When barging recommenced, a few of the barges were loaded directly on the river from barge to barge. This shortened the time for loading the customer’s barge significantly.

Japanese Companies Continue Discussions for Offtake of BBM PCI Coal
Cokal has continued discussions with its Japanese contacts, which includes trading houses as well as steel mills. The Japanese market has expressed a keen interest in acquiring BBM’s PCI coal because of its ultra-low Volatile content (a key attribute which is becoming less available in Australia) and its low Ash, Sulphur and Phosphorus contents as well.
Test samples have already been sent to some of the steel mills and the results have been in accordance with Cokal’s expectations. The results have confirmed the premium quality of BBM’s PCI coal and this has already been conveyed as very positive outcome for developing coal sale agreements with a few of the Japanese buyers.
Now that the funding discussions with Renjian have been discontinued, Cokal will work with the Japanese interest to determine options to assist in building the BBM PCI operation which is planned to produce around 50,000 tonnes per month of the premium quality ULV PCI.
