New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 286% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (34% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (286% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$80.0m market cap, or US$52.2m).

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Australian stocks, typically moving 12% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on current free cash flow (-AU$89m). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (12% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (33% increase in shares outstanding).

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: AU$145.2m (US$96.7m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on current free cash flow (-AU$89m). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (39% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$145.2m market cap, or US$96.7m). New Risk • Jun 08

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 82% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 82% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (54% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on current free cash flow (-AU$89m).

Bowen Coking Coal Limited Commences Mining At Bluff Open-Cut PCI Mine Bowen Coking Coal Ltd. has commenced mining at its Bluff Open-cut PCI Mine (Bluff) taking a significant step forward as it transitions from explorer to Australia's next independent metallurgical coal producer. Mining has started at Bluff under an early works program designed to safely and efficiently prepare the pit for mining before transitioning into a 3-year mining contract with HSE Mining (HSE). Mining operations have commenced with two excavator fleets utilising a 600t Liebherr R-996 excavator for bulk overburden removal and a 250t Hitachi EX-2500 excavator for additional overburden removal and coal mining. Initial coal mining is occurring within the existing pit utilising the EX-2500 whilst the R-996 is removing overburden to extend the pit along strike in a southerly direction. Previous impediments on southerly mining have been removed after Bowen paid the full $9.9 million environmental bond to Queensland Treasury, in favour of the Department of Environment and Science (DES). Coal is being extracted during this ramp-up phase with steady state Run-of-Mine (ROM) production of 80kt to 100kt per month targeted by the end of July 2022, representing an annualised production rate of between 1Mtpa and 1.2Mtpa ROM. Following recent heavy rains late last year, water management is a critical part of the process to ensure timely access to some areas containing remnant coal in the bottom of the pit. The Company has implemented comprehensive water management strategies to de-water the pit in a safe and responsible way, which includes a new temporary water storage dam within a future mining area. As part of the Early Works Program, the Company has moved the ROM pad further away from the lease boundary to reduce noise and dust impacts on the community. HSE Mining Contract: The Company entered into a three year contract (extendable to four years at the Company's election) with HSE to operate the Bluff mine, using their own equipment, staff, systems and procedures under the strategic direction of Bowen. The agreement contains customary terms and conditions for coal mining contracts. Recent Insider Transactions • Mar 17

Bowen Coking Coal Limited's Broadmeadow East Project Receives Final Approval Bowen Coking Coal Limited's Broadmeadow East Project in Queensland's Bowen Basin is a major step closer to first production after receiving formal approval from the Queensland State Government for an amendment to the project's existing Environmental Authority. Alongside the existing, granted Mining Lease, this is the final approval required in order to commence mining operations on site. Located around 25km north-east of the coal mining town of Moranbah, Bowen's 100%-owned Broadmeadow East Project is a near term open cut mine with access to infrastructure and a JORC Resource Estimate of 33 million tonnes. Studies have indicated a run of mine production target of 0.8 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to 1.1mtpa over a five-to-seven-year period1. Broadmeadow East forms the first planned pit of the expanded Burton Complex which includes the Burton Coal Mine and New Lenton Project. First production will be processed under an infrastructure sharing agreement with Fitzroy (CQ) Pty Ltd, which will fast-track development and minimise the initial capital outlay. Recent capital raisings have ensured Bowen has sufficient cash resources to fund the commencement of operations3. Announcement • Feb 17

Bowen Coking Coal Ltd. Announces Updates on Exploration Program At Hillalong South Bowen Coking Coal Ltd. announced some significant early results of the current exploration program underway at Hillalong South. The total program comprises 8 rotary drill holes with geophysics to firm up the geological understanding of the area, and up to 3 cored holes to support coal quality analysis and a potential resource estimate in accordance with the JORC code. The shallow intersection of the target seams in drill hole HIL054 occurs approximately 550m south of drill hole HIL018C, the southernmost drill hole in the 2019 drilling campaign, which demonstrated the ability to produce a low ash, high quality coking coal with CSN's as high as 7½ from the coking coal fraction. The 2020 laboratory data for product quality and washability of Hillalong South was very encouraging as it demonstrated the potential to wash a low ash primary coking coal with a secondary PCI for a combined yield of up to 89%, or a primary coking coal with a secondary energy coal for a combined yield of up to 87% from the holes that were not affected by igneous intrusions1.

Bowen Coking Coal Ltd Confirms the Potential for High Quality Coking Coal at its 100%-Owned Broadmeadow East Project in Queensland's Prolific Bowen Basin Bowen Coking Coal Ltd. has confirmed the potential for high quality coking coal at its 100%-owned Broadmeadow East Project in Queensland's prolific Bowen Basin following the completion of its coal quality exploration drilling program. The results demonstrated the flexibility of the resource to produce a primary coking coal product of either high quality (7.5% ash, CSN 7.5) or high yield (9.2% ash, CSN 4.5). In both of the primary product cases, the secondary energy coal created from the primary coking coal discard has a calorific value of more than 6,500kcal/kg (ad) which is also a sought-after product for the export coal markets. Total laboratory yield for the combined products ranges between 77% and 86%. The latest drilling has confirmed that the Leichhardt seam extends into the area south of the existing Measured Resource area of the project1, within the granted Mining Lease, and has a current JORC Resource estimate of 33 million1 tonnes. Other than the thickening of the coal seam, quality and washability analysis from these two holes (CQBE0006 and CQBE0008) have indicated a significant improvement in coal quality (lower ash and higher yield) from the northern area and paves the way for a potential mine layout extension in this area. Bowen Coking Coal Director and coal marketing specialist Mr. Matt Latimore said the preliminary laboratory data for product quality and washability of Broadmeadow East was very encouraging in terms of both yield results and potential coal quality. The results confirmed Bowen's view that the lower two thirds section of the 3.8m thick Leichhardt seam contains better coking properties and a higher yield and therefore justifies investigation of a two-pass mining method. It was also confirmed that the lower section contains lower impurities such as phosphorus and therefore supports a higher quality coking coal. Previous coal quality analysis had been limited to an aggregated total seam analysis. Raw coal quality analysis for the Vermont Lower and Girrah seams identified some plies with lower raw ash. Further washability analysis is underway which will provide more information towards assessing the seams' potential. Technical studies related to the major Environmental Authority amendment are progressing well and approval is anticipated in the later part of this year. Discussions for access to third party infrastructure continues in order to fast-track development of the project and to minimise initial capital outlay. Announcement • May 24
Bowen Coking Coal Limited Announces Commencement of Drilling At Hillalong Coking Coal Project Bowen Coking Coal Limited planned to drill up to 11 exploration holes at its Hillalong Coking Coal Project to target the definition of a maiden resource in the southern area, potentially extend resources for Hillalong North and test for the existence of Moranbah Coal Measures in the south east of the tenement. The Phase 2a exploration program at Hillalong, which lies in close proximity to the Hail Creek mine in the northern Bowen Basin, follows the interpretation of the first 13km of the planned 37km seismic program, which have been completed in March. Sumitomo Corporation recently committed a further $2.5min Phase 2a to earn an additional 5% in the project though a preexisting FarmIn Agreement. The Japanese conglomerate earned 10% of the project last year after spending $2.5 million on Phase 1 and has the option to earn an additional 5% in the project by spending another $2.5 million on Phase 2b1,.

Bowen Coking Coal Limited Announces New Target Areas Identified At Broadmeadow East Coking Coal Project Bowen Coking Coal Ltd. has identified two additional targets at its 100% owned Broadmeadow East Project in Queensland's prolific Bowen Basin following the completion of its coal quality drilling program. New drilling has confirmed that the Leichhardt seam extends into the area south of the existing Measured Resource area of the project1, which sits within a granted Mining Lease and has a current JORC Resource estimate of 33 million tonnes. Two drill holes in this previously unexplored area encountered the Leichhardt seam at depths of 52m and 62m respectively and importantly, it has thickened to a 4m seam in this area. Scout drilling also intersected the previously unexplored Vermont Lower ("VL") seam in two holes from as shallow as 36.1m. The cored section of the seam in hole CBQ0012 was 2.4m thick, which includes a 0.5m thick tuff parting. Core from this hole was obtained late in the program and therefore results will lag those of the Leichhardt seam cores. The full Girrah seam was also cored and will undergo the same tests as the Vermont Lower seam. The results of the exploration program will now be incorporated into the geological model to support further mine planning, which could now include an extension to the proposed mine layout previously bound by the Measured Resource area north of the power line. On completion, washability and product coal quality analysis will be used to support a Decision to Mine, planned for the second half of the year. Meanwhile, discussions for access to third party infrastructure is underway to fasttrack development of the project and to minimise initial capital requirements. Seam intersections were consistent with expectations based on historic exploration data of most holes. Results from hole CQBE003 indicate part of the lower working section have been affected by an intrusion. Although raw coal quality data compares favourably with historic data, the ply analysis indicates a distinct quality difference between the upper and lower working section of the Leichhardt seam and therefore the full spectrum of fast float, washability and clean coal analysis will be undertaken on both working sections. Furthermore, raw coal quality analysis for the Vermont Lower and Girrah seams are underway, which could provide valuable information towards assessing the seams' potential. Announcement • Feb 02

Bowen Coking Coal Ltd Lodges Site-specific Environmental Authority Application with the Queensland Government Department of Environment and Science for the Company's 100% Owned Isaac River Coking Coal Project Bowen Coking Coal Ltd. announced that it has lodged a sitespecific Environmental Authority ("EA") application with the Queensland Government Department of Environment and Science for the Company's 100% owned Isaac River Coking Coal Project ("Project"), located along strike of BHP Mitsubishi Alliance's ("BMA") Daunia Mine in the Bowen Basin, Central Queensland. Mining Lease Applications ("MLA") 700062 & 700063 were lodged earlier this year covering most of MDL 444, access to the project as well as a small section of EPC 830. Further to the lodging of the MLA, the lodgement of the EA application for Isaac River represents a significant milestone in the critical path to converting the project into a producing asset. The requirement for new EA applicants to develop and submit a progressive rehabilitation and closure plan ("PRCP") became effective on 1 November 2019. Given this is a relatively new legislative framework with little precedence, considerable effort has been given to ensuring the project meets the Queensland Government Mined Land Rehabilitation Policy. Mine planning and design studies were undertaken to ensure that BCB could comply with the policy whilst maintaining the economic integrity of the project. The Initial Development Plan submitted with the MLA proposes a contractor operated open cut operation along with highwall mining, utilizing off site infrastructure and toll washing of mined coal at a nearby facility. The Project hosts a 8.7Mt Resource in accordance with the JORC code (2012) of which 5.7Mt are classified as Measured Resources and 2.6Mt are classified as Indicated Resources. Washability tests have confirmed the potential to produce a high quality coking coal and secondary PCI coal from the Leichhardt and Vermont seams in the Rangals Coal Meassures, similar to regional operating mines.
