Dear Shannon,

REQUEST FOR TRADING HALT

Pursuant to listing rule 17.1, we request a trading halt in respect of the shares of COALBANK LIMITED (ASX: CBQ) , and provide ASX with the following information:

• COALBANK requests the trading halt because it is currently negotiating a capital raising involving the possible issue of securities representing more than 10% of its issued capital, but is not able to make an immediate announcement in respect of the transaction/capital raising as negotiations are confidential and not finalised.

• COALBANK requests that the trading halt last until the commencement of trading on Thursday 2 August 2012.

• The event that COALBANK expects to happen that will end the trading halt is an announcement in relation to the completion of the proposed capital raising.

• COALBANK is not aware of any reason why the trading halt should not be granted.

• COALBANK does not consider that there is any other information necessary to inform the market about the trading halt.

Yours sincerely,
