Competent Person Statement

The information in this report relating to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Patrick Hanna who is a fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and is a consultant (through Hanna Consulting Services) to Cokal Limited. Mr Hanna is a qualified geologist and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which they are undertaking, to qualify as Competent Persons as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Hanna consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on the information, in the form and context in which it appears.

The information in this report relating to Mineral Resources is based on information compiled by Tri Yoso who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a full time employee of Cokal Limited. Mr Yoso is a qualified geologist and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which they are undertaking, to qualify as Competent Persons as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Yoso consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on the information, in the form and context in which it appears.

Note 1: Exploration Target

All statements as to Exploration Targets of Cokal Limited and statements as to potential quality and grade are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration undertaken to date to define a Coal Resource and identification of a Resource will be totally dependent on the outcome of further exploration. Any statement contained in this document as to exploration results or Exploration Targets has been made consistent with the requirements of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code).
