[SLIDE 2 – 2021 AGM]

Welcome to the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Yancoal Australia.

My name is Greg Fletcher. I am the Co-Vice Chairman and an Independent Non-executive Director of Yancoal; and Chair of the Audit and Risk Management Committee.

[Handover to CEO, David Moult]

[SLIDE 6 – Review]

Shareholders, members of the Board, ladies and gentlemen, good morning, and thank you for attending today’s Annual General Meeting.

2020 presented many challenges; events outside our control impacted our markets and some aspects of our operations. But despite drought, bushfires and of course COVID-19, we achieved our production and cost guidance, with attributable coal production of 38.3 million tonnes and a further improvement in or operating cash costs to $59/t.

The resilience of our tier-one assets and a disciplined approach to capital management enabled the Company to meet these challenges. As the coal price cycle turns, attention can again return to an appropriate allocation of returns, growth and debt reduction.

[SLIDE 7]

Through the efficient operation of our assets, Yancoal has continued to contribute significantly to our communities and the broader Australian economy. Yancoal’s mines produce high-quality coal for global customers; our operations directly employ more than 4,000 people and engage thousands of businesses across three states: indirectly, the flow-on impacts are considerable. In addition, we sponsor and support groups and organisations at the community level and make a substantial contribution, more than $500 million, to all levels of government in the form of rates, taxes and royalties.

[SLIDE 8]

Throughout 2020 the Yancoal team focused on operating the assets safely and efficiently. We rapidly implemented a successful pandemic response plan and, at the same time, kept our focus on safety management across the Group. During 2020, by continuing to focus on the controllable aspects of our business, optimising production and reducing costs wherever possible, we achieved our operational guidance. A decision early in the year to secure an additional 10% stake in Moolarben, our largest and lowest-cost mine, contributed to these outcomes. Although lower coal prices impacted our financial metrics, we delivered a robust operating EBITDA of $748 million.; however, reconsolidation of Watagan triggered a one-off, non-cash loss of $1.38 billion, which was a significant component of the net loss reported for the year.

YANCOAL AUSTRALIA LTD |3

[SLIDE 9]

The health and wellbeing of all our employees is of vital importance to Yancoal. The work practices and measures we implemented to mitigate COVID-19 related risks, I am pleased to say, have proven successful with minimal disruption to the organisation. We remain vigilant to the continued risks posed by the pandemic, as well as broader health and safety issues across all of our sites. Yancoal’s 12-month Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate remained below the comparable industry average throughout 2020.

[SLIDE 10]

Lower power demand globally in 2020 resulted in weakness across benchmark coal price indices. As the international coal markets evolved and imports by China changed, Yancoal successfully diversified its customer profile by adding new customers in alternate countries. In addition, Yancoal’s Marketing team continually optimises product quality to meet customer needs and maximise the average sales price, which has assisted in finding new markets for our mix of coal qualities.

Coal price indices rallied late in the year, and prices have strengthened into 2021. However, Yancoal’s contract mix and structures result in an average realised price that lags the indices, as shown in the corresponding graphs. Due to the cyclic nature of the coal market, the most effective strategy to navigate these lows is to have a sustainable, low-cost production base. We look forward to receiving the benefit of improved prices in subsequent periods on the back of the improvements we have seen in the indices and hopefully a normalisation of the market.

[SLIDE 11]

Yancoal achieved its guidance for both operating cash costs and production in 2020. The $5/tonne decline in unit operating costs to $59/tonne was an outstanding outcome, especially in the context of our lower overall average realised coal price of $82/tonne for the year. Lower diesel prices and capex deferrals partially aided the cash cost outcome, but the achievement by the mine site teams during an unusual year cannot be understated.

[SLIDE 12]

Having noted the strong operational performance, there is a close correlation between average sales price achieved, revenue, EBITDA and EBITDA margin. However, the EBITDA and EBITDA Margin achieved in 2020 should be observed in the context of 2016 results, a year when the average selling price was comparable with 2020. Yancoal’s expansion and strengthening of its asset base, along with a rigorous pursuit of cost control, has enabled Yancoal to navigate the cyclical coal price low.

[SLIDE 13]

The net loss reported for 2020 includes two one-off items; the gain resulting from the remeasurement of the 95% interest in Moolarben following the acquisition of the additional 10%, and a non-cash loss associated with the Watagan reconsolidation in late 2020. The reconsolidation of Watagan also resulted in off-balance-sheet debt moving back onto the balance sheet.

YANCOAL AUSTRALIA LTD |4

Consequently, the net debt and gearing ratio have increased, but these metrics are still more robust than during the prior low in the coal price cycle five years ago.

[SLIDE 14]

In 2021, even though rain and flooding impacted our NSW production during the first quarter, Yancoal aims to marginally increase production output and maintain low operating cash costs. We continue to closely monitor the state of the international coal markets and seek new customers to diversify our sales profile. Yancoal's three large-scale, low-cost mines in the Hunter Valley underpin our competitive position in the export coal market and will continue to deliver robust returns during cyclical upswings in the coal market.

[Hand back to Greg Fletcher]

[SLIDE 15 –Voting Instructions]

We will now move to the formal consideration of the business before the Annual General Meeting.

Anyone attending in person today will have been issued with an attendance card:

  • Yellow indicates a non-voting shareholder

  • White indicates a visitor, also non-voting

  • Blue indicates a voting shareholder or proxy holder for the Yancoal Australia Annual General

  • Meeting

Persons holding either a blue or yellow card are entitled to speak at this meeting. However, only those persons holding a blue card are entitled to vote at this meeting.

If any shareholder here is eligible to vote and does not have a blue coloured card, would you please raise your hand now.

[wait for any hands]

Resolutions will be decided by poll, which will be conducted at the end of the meeting. The results of the poll will be available on the ASX and HKEx websites later today.

[SLIDE 16 – Items of business]

The following summary outlines the items of business for today’s meeting, in accordance with the Notice of Annual General Meeting for Yancoal Australia, which was published on our website and dispatched to shareholders earlier this month. The Notice of Meeting contains the text of each resolution to be put to this meeting.

[MOTION]

With your approval, I now move that the Notice of Annual General Meeting be taken as read and that the text of each resolution be taken as read.

[VOTE]

All those in favour, please raise your blue attendance card.

[Pause to count cards]

YANCOAL AUSTRALIA LTD |5

All those against, please raise your blue attendance card.

[Pause to count cards]

[RESULT]

The notice is taken to be read. Thank you.

Item 1 is the receipt and consideration of the Company's Financial Report for the year ended 31 December 2020. I will take those reports as read. A representative of ShineWing Australia, Yancoal's Auditor, is present and available to answer any specific questions about the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report.

Items 2(a) to 2(c) are the Re-election of Independent Non-Executive Directors. The biographical details for each Director are contained in the Notice of Meeting. The three Independent NonExecutive Directors, including myself, are being submitted for re-election.

Item 3 is the Remuneration Report. The Remuneration Report is contained within the 2020 Annual Report. I will take the report as read. This vote is advisory only and not binding on the Company or its directors. Voting exclusions apply to this resolution as outlined in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Item 4 is the issue of rights to Co-Vice Chairman under Equity Incentive Plan. Approval is being sought for the issue of up to 90,180 Deferred Share Rights (as defined in the Explanatory Notes to this Notice of Meeting) to Mr Ning Zhang, the Co-Vice Chairman of the Company, under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan on the terms set out in the Explanatory Notes to this Notice of Meeting. Voting exclusions apply to this resolution as outlined in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Item 5 is the reappointment of the Auditor. At each annual general meeting, the Company must appoint an auditor to hold office from the conclusion of that meeting until the next annual general meeting.

Item 6 to 8 are general mandates related to issuing and repurchasing shares. Unless the Company obtains these general mandates, its ability to exercise its right to issue shares without obtaining shareholder approval is limited, and the proposed repurchase mandate gives the Company the flexibility to repurchase the shares if and when appropriate. The passing of resolution 8 is subject to the passing of resolutions 6 and 7. The reason for this resolution is to ensure flexibility to allot and issue more shares if the proposed repurchase mandate is exercised.

Item 9 is the re-insertion of the proportional takeover provision. The proportional takeover provisions exist in the form of Rule 6 of the Constitution of the Company are sought to be reinserted for a further period of three years commencing from the date of this AGM.

Recommendations for all items are set out in the Notice of Meeting. I am now going to cast the votes for the proxies I hold on all resolutions in accordance with the directions provided by shareholders or otherwise as set out in the Notice of Meeting. As mentioned earlier, a poll will be conducted for these resolutions at the end of the meeting.

YANCOAL AUSTRALIA LTD |6

Rain and flooding impacted NSW production during the first quarter. The 2021 production guidance was retained as most operations expect to recover some output over the next three quarters. Cash cost guidance was also retained but the operational impacts are pushing unit costs to the top end of the range. Recovery and optimisation work is ongoing and further updates will be provided as required.

  1. 2020 Attributable cash operating cost guidance restated to include other operating expenses; this figure is consistent with the reported outcome and the 2021 guidance.
