QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2020

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Mining services contract awarded with contract negotiations almost finalised

  • Coal haulage contract nearing completion

  • Fuel and explosives contracts nearing completion

  • Cokal to receive US$2.0M for the appointment of PT Sumber Global Energy (SGE) as Exclusive Sales Agent for 0.6Mt domestic coal sales from BBM

  • China Railway Corporation to provide US$20m funding

  • BBM JORC Resources and Reserves updated

INDONESIAN COAL ASSETS

Cokal holds shares in the following Indonesian coal assets in Central Kalimantan, each with known resources of metallurgical coal:

  • 60% of the Bumi Barito Mineral (BBM) project located in Central Province, Kalimantan, Indonesia. The BBM project area is 14,980ha;

  • 75% of PT Tambang Benua Alam Raya (TBAR) which owns an exploration tenement covering an area of approximately 18,850ha in Central Province, Kalimantan, Indonesia. This tenement is located adjacent to and southeast of the BBM project;

  • 60% of the Borneo Bara Prima (BBP) project located in Central Province, Kalimantan, Indonesia. The BBP project area is approximately 13,050ha;

  • 75% of the Anugerah Alam Katingan (AAK) project. This project is also located in Central Province, Kalimantan, Indonesia and has an area of approximately 5,000ha. AAK is currently on ‘on-hold’ status by Provincial Police Department (Polda Kalteng). The Police have investigated a dispute over the ownership of AAK pre-dating Cokal’s interest in the Project. Cokal is an aggrieved party and will await the outcome of the Police investigation.

There was no change in these shareholdings during the quarter.

BBM, TBAR, BBP and AAK are located adjacent to Indomet’s extensive coking coal tenements. The Company is focussed on the development of the BBM Project.

Cokal's Coking Coal Tenements

Bumi Barito Mineral (BBM) Tenement

BBM’s permit covers an area of 14,980ha with multiple seams of high quality metallurgical coal. It is dissected by the Barito River, which cuts through the tenement in a north-south trend. Almost the entire IUP contains coal-bearing sediments with open cut mineable areas controlled by three major fault systems.

Coal analyses from more than 130 outcrops on the west side of the Barito River indicate that it contains premium quality anthracite and PCI coals. This coal does not currently form part of the stated BBM coal resources and therefore provides significant potential for future expansion of BBM resources.

Approval is being sought to extend the mining approved area into the eastern part of Pit 2.

BBM has regulatory approvals in place including:

  • Mining Licence for 20 years with two further extensions of 10 years each

  • Environmental approval for a mining rate of 6Mt per annum

  • Port construction approval

  • Forestry Permit to commence mining activity

  • RKAB approval of its annual plan.

BBM will be the first area to be mined by Cokal.

No exploration activity or mining production was conducted by Cokal at BBM during the quarter.

BBM Tenement Areas

Tambang Benua Alam Raya (TBAR) Tenement

TBAR’s exploration authority covers an area of 18,850ha immediately adjacent to and south of Cokal's BBM tenement. Outcrop mapping of four seams over 17km strike length indicates a substantial resource of high grade coking coal in this deposit. It is believed these seams correlate to the B, C, D and J seams in BBM.

Extension of the IUP for exploration was received in February 2020. An exploration plan has been prepared to evaluate the tenement’s resource and to delineate Resources and Reserves under the JORC code. This will enable submission of an application for a Production and Operation IUP within two years. The Government deadline for this application has been extended by one year while the BBM mine is being started. The Production and Operation IUP will be equivalent to a mining licence.

The haul road from BBM to the jetty at Bumban passes through the TBAR tenement and provides a notional 75km access road to port when the mine is developed.

No exploration activity or mining production was conducted at TBAR by Cokal during the quarter.

Borneo Bara Prima (BBP) Tenement

Cokal's BBP project covers 13,050ha in Murung Raya Regency, Central Kalimantan. BBP has been granted an Exploration Forestry Permit (IPPKH) and has been confirmed on the Central Government’s Clean and Clear list. The IUP was transferred to the Central Government where it now awaits approval to be upgraded to a mining licence (Production and Operation IUP).

No exploration activity was conducted in BBP during the quarter.

Anugerah Alam Katingan (AAK) Tenement

Cokal's AAK project covers 5,000ha in Central Kalimantan. Applications for the Exploration Forestry Permit (IPPKH) and Clean and Clear Certificates continue to be processed. Cokal continues to monitor the progress of the regulatory upgrade approvals for AAK.

No exploration activity was conducted on AAK during the quarter.

BBM Mineral Resources Estimate

Refer ASX release 29 January 2015 and 29 April 2016. Notes for above Table:

  • There was no additional exploration drilling for this period (2020 resource update) when compared to the previous reported resources;

  • The geological model for this 2020 resource update has been revised and improved based on actual exposed coal at Pit 2 from the trial mining in 2017 and some re-interpretation of geological structure, all of which, although improving the model, has had minimal impact on this 2020 coal resources estimate.

BBM Mineral Reserves Estimate

Refer ASX release 1 August 2017. Notes for above Table:

  • This 2020 update used a projected sale price for coking coal of USD 145 per product tonne. This compares directly against USD 150 per product tonne as the coking coal price used in the previous reported study and represents a USD 5 per tonne reduction in revenue and therefore translates to a reduction in economic coal reserves;

  • This 2020 update used a projected sale price for PCI coal of USD 110 per product tonne. This compares directly against USD 112.50 per product tonne as the PCI coal price used previously;

  • This 2020 update reports a breakdown of 10.1Mt coking coal and 8.8Mt PCI coal ROM reserves;

  • This 2020 update resulted in a Marketable reserves figure of 17.3Mt which compares well with the previously reported study which resulted in 16.9Mt Marketable reserves; and

  1. Refer ASX Announcement dated 29 December 2020. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original ASX announcement

29 January 2021

==> picture [85 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

  • This 2020 update result of 18.9Mt ROM reserves compares well with an external equivalent JORC standard study reserves report estimating 19.7Mt total mineable reserves.

BBM Contracts

Substantial progress has been made in the suite of contracts required to bring BBM into production:

  • Negotiations with the favoured mining contractor are nearing completion for the overburden portion of the contract. The overburden mining method will incorporate significant dozer push. The coal mining and equipment hire portions of the contract will follow;

  • Negotiations for drill and blast and explosive supply and storage contracts are nearing completion and being integrated into the mining contract arrangements;

  • Fuel supply contracts are being evaluated together with fuel storage facilities at the port and mine;

  • • The long haul coal transportation contract to carry coal from the mine 98km to the port at Bumban is in the final stages of negotiation.

Other

  • A contract has been signed for the use of the KDP Bumban logging port facility during road and mine development. This is also being considered as the barge loading site for coal product;

  • Local equipment has been sourced to rebuild the access road and additional equipment will be brought in from other places. Labour sourcing is underway;

  • Sites have ben surveyed for the Intermediate Coal Stockpile (ISP) further down the river from Bumban where coal will be transhipped to load ocean-going vessels;

  • The rehab of the first 200ha of the required 1500ha is being detailed as part of the BBM commitment. on BBM development.

CORPORATE ACTIVITY

Agreement with Sumber Global Energy (SGE)

Cokal has entered into an agreement with SGE to monetise near-term coal production from BBM. SGE will advance BBM a total of US$2.0M as consideration for Cokal appointing SGE as Exclusive Sales Agent for domestic Indonesian coal sales whereby SGE will undertake the marketing and sales of 0.6Mt BBM coal sold into the Indonesian domestic market for a period of 2 years from the date of first delivery of coal to SGE.

SGE will make available funding to BBM according to the following schedule:

  • US$1,000,000 on or before the 30th December 2020;

  • US$500,000 on or before the 31st January 2021; and

  • US$500,000 on or before 31st March 2021.

BBM will repay the US$2.0M to SGE through a reduction in the coal sales price over the term of the agreement. The repayment schedule to SGE will be calculated by apportioning the US$2.0M consideration over the total tonnage of coal allocated to SGE over the term of the Agreement, which will be deducted from the sales price (e.g. If BBM allocates 0.6Mt of coal to SGE, then the US$2.0M in consideration will result in a US$3.33/t reduction in coal sales price for that tonnage.) The reduction in coal sales price shall be adjusted in the final period of the Agreement to ensure full repayment of the US$2.0M consideration. US$200,000 was drawn in January 2021.

Coal sold under the Agreement shall be priced in US Dollars per metric tonne on an FOB basis, with the price calculated using the below methodology:

  • i. Appropriate prices (the “Index Prices”) for seaborne traded Coking and PCI Coals will be obtained from a recognised market data provider (e.g. Platts); and

  • ii. The Index Prices will then be adjusted in order to calculate the prices to be used in the Agreement between BBM and SGE (the “Coal Sales Prices”), with the adjustments made to reflect:

  • a. The quality and specifications of the coal produced by BBM, using the methodologies published by the provider of the Index Price; and

  • b. Freight differentials.

SGE will also receive a small discount off the Coal Sales Prices. In the event SGE is able to sell the coal at a price higher than the Coal Sales Prices, the additional amount shall be shared equally between BBM and SGE.

If BBM fails to deliver coal such that a maximum of 0.6MT is not reached within a period of two years from the first delivery to SGE, then BBM will be considered in default and the US$2M (less any amounts repaid) converts to debt, plus interest using SIBOR. In the event that SGE defaults on the payment schedule for the US$2.0M set out above, BBM has the right to adjust the coal allotment to SGE under the Agreement in line with the payment received and the right to sell directly into the domestic Indonesian market.

Update on Binding Funding from China Railway Corporation Limited (CRCC)

As announced on 14 October 2020 the Company received a Letter of Intent stipulating a binding commitment for the provision of US$20m debt financing facility, with the funds to be used for the development of Cokal’s BBM Project. The funder of this facility, CRCC subsidiary CR-BFJV, has since provided Cokal a draft financing agreement which has been reviewed by Cokal. CR-BFJV had arranged to travel to Jakarta in early January to meet with Cokal to finalise the agreement, however recent Indonesian Government travel restrictions have banned all foreigners from entering the country until late January. CR-BFJV has rescheduled to come to Jakarta shortly after this date. It is anticipated that the agreement can be finalised at this time to allow the drawdown of funds soon thereafter.

General

During the quarter US$500,000 has been drawn under the loan facility provided by Aahana. The Company had US$170k in cash at the end of the quarter. During the quarter the aggregate amount of payments made to related parties and their associates for director fees, consulting fees, company secretarial fees and Sydney office rental fees totalled US$70k.

During the quarter US$65k was spent on development and production expenditure. Details of the activities carried out during the quarter are set out in this report.

Cokal’s Annual General Meeting was held on 24 November 2020. Mr Patrick Hanna was not re-elected as a director at the Annual General Meeting and the Board thanks him for his service and contribution over his 10 years with the Company.

COVID-19

Both Indonesian and Australian operations have responded to the COVID-19 virus pandemic. Staff and contractors have been minimally impacted and operations continue as planned.

There have been delays with site visits and finalising contracts due to travel restrictions, with analysis of contractor bids for mining operations and finalisation of the infrastructure agreement with China Rail delayed.

The Company has a focus on the well-being of its staff, contractors and the broader community and has implemented measures to ensure their well-being including; health screening and temperature monitoring, spatial distancing protocols, a high level of hygiene, change in flow of staff to and from the local community, and the minimisation of staff in the Jakarta and Sydney administrative offices.

7.1 A The US$800,000 loan facility provided by Aahana Minerals Resources SDN BHD (Lender) was executed in September 2020. The facility interest rate is 12% per annum, compounded monthly and payable on the funds drawn down. During the quarter US$500,000 has been drawn under the facility. The loan is repayable within 30 days of receipt of a written demand for repayment by the Lender. Cokal Limited has provided a corporate guarantee for payment the Loan. 7.3 On 29 December 2020 Cokal Limited entered into an agreement to monetise near-term coal production from BBM production. PT Sumber Global Energy (“SGE“) will advance BBM a total of US$2.0m as consideration for Cokal appointing SGE as Exclusive Sales Agent for domestic Indonesia coal sales, whereby SGE will undertake the marketing and sales of BBM coal, sold into the Indonesian domestic market, for a period of 2 years from the date of first delivery of coal to SGE.

BBM has agreed to allocate SGE ~0.6Mt of saleable production of Coking and PCI coals to SGE over the 2-year period.

SGE will make available funding to BBM according to the following schedule:

  • i. US$1,000,000 on or before the 30th December 2020;

ii. US$500,000 on or before the 31st January 2021; and iii. US$500,000 on or before 31st March 2021.

BBM will repay the US$2.0m to SGE through a reduction in the coal sales price over the term of the Agreement. The repayment schedule to SGE will be calculated by apportioning the US$2.0m consideration over the total tonnage of coal allocated to SGE over the term of the Agreement, which will be deducted from the sales price (e.g. If BBM allocates 0.6Mt of coal to SGE, then the US$2.0m in consideration will result in a US$3.33/t reduction in coal sales price.) The reduction in coal sales price shall be adjusted in the final period of the Agreement to ensure full repayment of the US$2.0m consideration. US$200,000 was drawn in January 2021.
