MC Mining Provides Notification of the Cancellation of the Admission to Trading on AIM of its Ordinary Shares and AIM Cancellation Expects to Take Place on 19 June 2024 MC Mining Limited (MC Mining or the Company) noted the announcements by Goldway Capital Investment Limited (Goldway), pursuant to which Goldway's off-market takeover offer for all of the ordinary shares in MC Mining (Ordinary Shares) not already owned by Goldway or its associates (the Offer) was declared unconditional on 8 April 2024 and closed on 22 April 2024, with Goldway receiving acceptances representing in excess of 75% of the Ordinary Shares subject to the Offer. Goldway announced on 23 April 2024 that, together with acceptances received under the Offer, its relevant interest represented 93.05% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital. The Offer process was completed on 30 April 2024. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 41 of the AIM Rules for Companies, the Company provided notification of the cancellation of the admission to trading on AIM of MC Mining's Ordinary Shares (the AIM Cancellation). The AIM Cancellation is expected to take place at 7:00 a.m. BST on 19 June 2024 and, accordingly, the final day of trading on AIM of the Ordinary Shares will be 18 June 2024. Goldway announced in certain of its Bidder's Statements that, in the event the Offer is successfully concluded and it is eligible, it may exercise the general compulsory acquisition rights over all the Ordinary Shares not owned by Goldway, or its associates, under the Australian Corporations Act. However, Goldway has not yet confirmed whether it will proceed with such process. In addition, Goldway announced its intention to seek the delisting of the Ordinary Shares from the ASX and JSE, although to date the formal commencement of this process has not been announced. Consequently, it is currently expected that following the AIM Cancellation becoming effective, the Ordinary Shares will continue to be listed and traded on the ASX and JSE. In light of this, there is no current intention for the Company to provide a matched bargain facility following the AIM Cancellation. However, in the event that Goldway proceeds with the delisting by MC Mining of the Ordinary Shares from both the ASX and the JSE, the Company will reassess this position. Shareholders should note that there is no certainty that Goldway will exercise any compulsory acquisition rights, if eligible to do so, nor is there any certainty that a matched bargain facility will be put in place. The liquidity and marketability of the Ordinary Shares may be significantly reduced following the AIM Cancellation and should MC Mining's delisting from the ASX and JSE proceed, the ability of shareholders to trade the Ordinary Shares will be further restricted.

MC Mining Limited Announces Significant Increases in Mine Life and Coal Reserves MC Mining Limited announced the results of the updated Life of Mine plan and Coal Reserve estimate for its fully-licensed and shovel-ready Makhado steelmaking hard coking coal project. The LOM plan builds on the recently completed five-year Implementation Plan that envisaged initially mining the East Pit. The plan incorporates the exploitation of all portions of the East, Central and West coal deposits that are mineable by surface mining methods. The Coal Reserve estimate is derived from this updated LOM plan that applies updated costs, macro-economic and coal price assumptions. The updated LOM plan and Coal Reserve estimate are required to conclude funding discussions that are part of the ongoing implementation of the Makhado Project mine-build. The Project is 67.3%-owned by MCM through a local subsidiary, Baobab Mining & Exploration Pty Ltd. (BM&E). All figures are reported for the full project in USD and ZAR. The updated LOM plan is a significant improvement on the Scenario 2 plan completed in August 2022 to a pre-feasibility level of confidence (Scenario 2), as is demonstrated by: o improved production metrics: § a 25% increase in the targeted rate of mining from 3.2 to 4.0 million (M) tonnes per annum (Mtpa) run-of-mine (ROM) coal; and § a 100% increase in coal handling and processing plant capacity, from 2.0 to 4.0 Mtpa; resulting in § a 30% increase in planned annual sales of 64 Mid Volatile (Vol) steelmaking hard coking coal (HCC) to 0.81 Mtpa and a 15% increase in planned annual sales of 5,500 kcal thermal coal (TC) to 0.62 Mtpa; § a 60% increase of total salable coal products from 26 to 41 million tonnes (Mt) over the mine life; § a 27% increase in the LOM from 22 to 28 years; and § the time to first production increasing from 12 to 18 months due to the new plant build whilst keeping the payback period materially unchanged at 3.5 years from the start of construction. o using updated and conservative cost and macro-economic assumptions that account for recent inflationary and market cost escalations in key production inputs, these being: § a 6% increase in estimated fully-allocated costs (C3) to average USD 83 (ZAR 1,563) per tonne of saleable coal over the LOM; § an 11% increase in the estimated project peak funding requirements to USD 96 million (ZAR 1.8 billion); § a 22% increase in the forecast ZAR:USD foreign currency exchange (Forex) rate from ZAR 15.47 to average ZAR18.83 over the LOM; § a marginally higher indexed premium HCC price forecast from USD 212 to USD 215 per tonne sold on a free on board basis (FOB) over the LOM, sourced from independent advisors Afriforesight; and § a marginally higher indexed API4 thermal coal price (6,000 kcal) forecast from US$106 to USD 108 per tonne (FOB) over the LOM. o resulting in the following planned financial returns for the Project: § a 20% improvement in free cashflows to US$936 M (ZAR 17.6 billion); § a 17% increase in the post tax Net Present Value (NPV) from ZAR 5.8 billion (real, post-tax, at a 6% discount rate) to ZAR 6.8 billion (due to exchange rate movements, a 4% reduction in USD terms to UD 361 million); and § an internal rate of return (IRR) (real, post-tax) of 37% and EBITDA margin of 30%. Proved and Probable Coal Reserves estimates, reported in accordance to JORC Code guidelines, have substantially increased compared to the estimates reported previously, to result in: o a 53% increase in total Coal Reserves from 69 to 106 Mt due to the revision in the East Pit optimisation and mine design; o a 64% increase in salable steelmaking HCC from 13.7 to 22.5 Mt achieved at an overall yield of 21.2%; and o a 57% increase in salable TC from 11.9 to 18.7 Mt achieved at an overall yield of 17.6%. The Coal Resource estimate on which this Coal Reserve estimate is based remains unchanged at 296 Mt of mineable tonnes in situ (MTIS) in the Measured and Indicated categories as previously announced by the Company. The reported Coal Resource is inclusive of the Coal Reserve. Steady progress has been made with critical early works activities in line with the Implementation Plan, to advance the Project towards commencement of production, including: o commencement with works relating to the power supply overhead transmission line; o construction of a bridge across the Mutamba river to provide access to the project site; o order placement for key long-lead items; and o progressing with the selection of mine-operating contractors.
