Coal

Allegiance Coal Limited (Gullewa 56.6%)

General Activities

The June Quarter saw the listing of Allegiance Coal Limited (ASX:AHQ) on the ASX, on 29 May 2012. Allegiance Coal raised $7 million for exploration of its coal projects in Queensland.

Subsequent to the listing, drilling recommenced at the Back Creek project in the Surat Basin with drilling on 31 selected sites proposed. This drilling intersected potentially significant coal in the northern part of Back Creek. Drill hole BC005 intersected 9.3m cumulative of coal to a depth of 69.05m. Heavy rains in the Back Creek area led to a suspension of the drilling but is expected to recommence in August.

Considerable attention has been given to the long term planning needs for infrastructure requirements for power, water, rail and port facilities to support the two lead projects Back Creek and Kilmain.

Project Status

Back Creek Project (EPC 1297)

The 2012 drilling program at Back Creek entails drilling at 31 drill locations, including the drilling of 5 cored holes. The original program was expected to be completed by August, 2012 (weather permitting) and has been designed to provide sufficient information to allow the reporting of JORC Resources in or before Quarter 4 2012.

Widely spaced drilling was completed in the northern section by other companies in the 1960s and 1980s, and by Allegiance in 2011. The current drilling has been planned to infill the historic drilling to a spacing of approximately one (1) km, both in the north as well as in the Company’s high priority areas to the south.

Drilling recommenced on the project on 8 June, 2012 and 6 holes were completed prior to postponing the drilling because of heavy rains in late June. Details of the six (6) drill hole completed in June 2012 as well as holes previously drilled by Allegiance in the northern area are appended.

Two (2) holes were completed in this northern section of the tenement, holes BC002 and BC005. Both of these holes intersected potentially significant coal with hole BC005 intersecting 9.3m of cumulative coal a depth of 69.05m. Two additional cored holes have been proposed in this northern section to provide additional coal quality data.

At Back Creek the Company’s current exploration target of 60‐80 million tonnes[(1)] of shallow, open cut low ash thermal coal is located in the central and southern portions of the tenement. See attached plan.

Kilmain Project (EPCs 1298 and 1917)

Final test results for washability and coal quality have been obtained by the Company for KL001, KL002 and KL003, enabling commencement of a detailed review of the data. In addition, final gas data results were also obtained. The gas concentrations were considered too low to be of commercial interest by way of pre drainage prior to mining.

During the Quarter advice was received from the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines that the amalgamation of EPC 1298 and EPC 1917 would proceed with the combined tenement to be granted for a period of four years (previously two years).

Drilling is planned to recommence in September, 2012 with first JORC resources planned to be announced in Quarter 1 2013.

The Kilmain Project has potential for an underground deposit of coking/thermal coal within the Rangal Coal Measures and has an initial target of 100‐200 million tonnes(1) of coal.

(1) Exploration Target Clarification

All statements pertaining to the Company’s exploration target and statements as to the potential quantity and grade made in this Statement are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration undertaken to date to define a coal resource in accordance with the JORC Code, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the definition of a coal resource in accordance with the JORC Code .

Mintovale Project (MDL 138)

While the new LNP Queensland State Government made statements before the election that there would be no mining within the Scenic Rim Council area , no legislation has yet been enacted to prohibit Moreton Coal Pty Ltd (wholly owned by AHQ) from continuing to exercise its rights under the existing legislation regarding its Mintovale MDL 138.

The Company held meetings with a group of landowners from the Mintovale area and with the Mayor of Scenic Rim Council.

Potential exists for Mintovale to be a small open cut direct shipping thermal coal by road and by rail to the port of Brisbane.

Connemarra Project

While a potential farm‐out of the project was considered, the level of knowledge on the potential of the tenement was considered to be insufficient to value the project. The company plans to drill within the Connemarra tenement by end Quarter 4 2012.

The Connemarra Project EPC 1296 remains a speculative exploration area due to the lack of current geological data.

Calen Project

During the quarter, a potential farm‐out was under negotiation with the holder of other tenements in the Calen Basin.

The Calen Project, EPC 1631 and EPC 1820, has potential for underground PCI coal deposits.

Lochaber (EPC 1672)

A field mapping program was completed during the quarter and has provided further definition to planned drilling within the area which is proposed to involve some 6 holes in a central prospective area.

The company, as a member of the North Burnett Mineral Group, has been considering rail transport options for bulk commodities from the North Burnett region.

The Lochaber Project EPC 1672 has potential for open pit thermal coal deposits.

Other Projects

The Company is considering possible farm‐out opportunities on several of its remaining projects. This would allow the Company greater flexibility in pursuing its lead projects.

Infrastructure

Queensland infrastructure consultants Balance Resources completed a review during the quarter of the infrastructure needs of the Back Creek and Kilmain projects. The infrastructure requirements included port, rail, water and power for both projects.

In relation to the potential coal export tonnage from the Mintovale , Mobs Creek, Cedar Creek and Mt Marrow projects, the Company responded to a request for ‘Expressions of Interest’ for access to increased port capacity through Brisbane.

Hydromining Coal Australia Pty Ltd “HCA” (Gullewa 80%)

Hydromining Coal Australia is pleased to announce that it has been advised by the Queensland Government that it is the priority applicant for the allocation of EPCA 2643 ‘Elatum’. The competing application was lodged in July 2011 over 30 sub blocks in the Biloela Sub‐Basin of the Bowen Basin and the target is lignite within the Biloela Formation of Tertiary Age. When granted, the area would be a potential test bed for the non‐entry mining method under development by the company.

To advance the development of the non‐entry mining method, the company has employed a mechanical engineer on a three month contract.

Meanwhile the company has been approached by a number of companies that have deposits in South Australia and Queensland that may be suitable for use of the non‐entry mining method.

There were no field activities during the month.

Minerals

(Gullewa 100%)

New South Wales

No field activities were undertaken on any of the Company’s NSW projects during the quarter.
