Peabody Receives Funding from U.S. Department of Energy to Advance Domestic Rare Earth and Critical Mineral Supply Chain Peabody announced that the U.S. Department of Energy has selected the company for funding to advance the production of rare earth elements and critical minerals. The selection supports Peabody's ongoing efforts to evaluate and advance the recovery of rare earth elements and critical minerals from its extensive resource base in Wyoming's Powder River Basin. Coupled with the Wyoming Energy Authority grant awarded earlier this year, this selection reflects the meaningful progress Peabody has made in advancing promising unconventional rare earth and critical mineral opportunities. The company's efforts are focused on supporting the development of a secure domestic supply chain for materials that are increasingly important to U.S. energy, technology and national security objectives. Peabody moves more earth annually across its Powder River Basin operations than any other coal miner, providing a unique combination of scale, infrastructure and ready access to a vast resource base with promising concentrations of rare earth elements and critical minerals.

Buyers Reportedly Eye Peabody Coal Assets After $5.8 Billion Anglo Portfolio Buy US-based Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE:BTU) is understood to be fielding approaches from parties testing whether it would sell some coal assets following its $5.8 billion deal to buy Queensland coal mines from Anglo American last year. Since January, Peabody's share price has fallen about 40%, in line with a decline of the metallurgical coal price. It creates larger challenges for the St Louis-based miner to secure the capital to pay for its transaction at a time when debt costs for the commodity have also increased. Groups such as Japan's Nippon Steel have pre-emptive rights over the assets as a part shareholder, and perhaps it could acquire one of the assets from Peabody from another suitor. But others would see the assets as worth less than last year when the coal price as higher, so probably wouldn't pay up. Peabody could follow through on its acquisition and sell assets later, and even if it makes a loss on a sale it may be better off getting money through the door than it otherwise would be. The miner indicated it may be exploring options over whether it can extract itself from the Anglo American deal after another fire occurred at the Moranbah North mine in Queensland. This followed the Grosvenor coal mine exploding and catching fire last year. But sources suggest the deal is watertight and Peabody may face a costly lawsuit if it breaks its terms of the transaction, due to complete within the next two months. Peabody fended off competition to buy Anglo's Queensland coal portfolio in November. At the time of the announcement, Peabody Energy said it would look to finance the deal at a leverage ceiling of 1.5 times earnings. It would refinance the bridging loan with high-yielding secured notes, a secured term loan and minority stake sales of its mines, including its Centurion mine in Australia (currently under way), Moranbah, Grosvenor and Capcoal mines. Other forms of funding would be convertible unsecured notes and common equity and reclamation bonding alternatives. Duyuru • Apr 25

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 21% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 17% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (12% net profit margin). Duyuru • Oct 31

Whitehaven Reportedly Leads the Way in Auction for BHP Coal Mines BHP Group Limited (ASX:BHP) is asking the short-listed bidders for its two Queensland coal mines on offer to resubmit offers on September 25 after final bids landed last month. DataRoom revealed earlier that suitors had until the end of the month to lock in funding for a transaction and that Whitehaven was firming as the favourite to win the contest. Left in the contest are Whitehaven Coal Limited (ASX:WHC), bidding for both assets, Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE:BTU) bidding for the Daunia mine, BUMA bidding for the Blackwater mine and Stanmore Resources Limited (ASX:SMR) bidding for Daunia. Sources say Stanmore Coal, which is sourcing debt to fund its bid with help from Grant Samuel, is believed to be the most conservative of the bidders when it comes to price. UBS has put a USD 2.5 billion value on Blackwater, which analysts say has a 50-year mine life, and a USD 800 million value on Daunia, which they believe has a 17-year mine life, with USD 1 billion of rehab liabilities on the former and USD 250 million on the latter. Some Whitehaven shareholders are warming to the prospect of the coal miner buying both Daunia and Blackwater in a deal that may top USD 3 billion. DataRoom first revealed Whitehaven was bidding for both mines on August 24, and the company confirmed this on Monday. It also reiterated comments made while reporting its results last month that it had suspended its share buyback as it considered growth opportunities. Upcoming Dividend • Aug 02
