PULLING THE VALUE LEVERS
A CASH GENERATIVE, CAPITAL LIGHT, FULLY FUNDED PLATFORM ON WHICH TO GROW

PHASE 1 – SHORT TERM THE RIGHT METHODOLOGY FOR VALUE CREATION
VALUE CREATION FROM:
- Coal handling infrastructure in place at a replacement value of >$350m with underutilised capacity
- Open cut mining method at Isaac Plains, Isaac Plains East and beyond utilising a dragline represents the lowest cost OC mining method available
- Low cost entry options to underground resources via highwalls
- Underground mining opportunities at Isaac Plains Underground with low capital intensity, agile and low risk operations via bord and pillar method
- Focusing on projects that can deliver low cost tonnes as a result of lower capital requirements due to access to IPC infrastructure
- For each mine the dragline develops or extends, a low cost longer life underground can be developed
- With a multiplier effect, the CHPP can be 'choke' fed to produce 3.0mt product


PHASE 1 – SHORT TERM INCREMENTAL VOLUME AND LIFE EXTENSION OPPORTUNITIES

SUSTAINABLE VALUE CREATION FROM:
- Dual approach of volume and life extension regionally
- With capital and operational discipline, doubling the life and volumes of CHPP feed sources is front and centre
- Underground and opencut operational excellence is essential
PHASE 2 – MEDIUM TERM THE STANMORE PORTFOLIO OFFERS MULTIPLE 'HUB' OPPORTUNITIES
| BOWEN BASIN – | SURAT BASIN – |
|---|---|
| COKING COAL | THERMAL COAL |
| ISAAC PLAINS – | THE RANGE – |
| 100% | 100% |
| Operations | Development (pending infrastructure) |
| ISAAC PLAINS EAST – | CLIFFORD – |
| 100% | 60% |
| Development | Exploration & studies |
BELVIEW – 100%
Exploration
LILYVALE – 85%
Exploration
MACKENZIE – 95%
Exploration

PHASE 2 – MEDIUM TERM THE TRANSITION TO AN INTEGRATED COAL COMPANY

STEP CHANGE VALUE CREATION FROM:
- Building (life and volume) off a cash generative, repeatable platform
- Replication of capital 'light', synergistic aggregation of assets from multiple vendors with both underground and opencut to form regional coal hubs
- Continued positioning in commodity cycles
ISAAC PLAINS BACKGROUND
SAFETY
TWO INJURIES (TRI) DURING QUARTER
During the March quarter, there were two injuries (TRI) (including one lost time injury) at the Isaac Plains Mining Complex, with no other injuries recorded across other projects and tenements.
The Total Reportable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) at quarter end is 12.46 per million hours.
STANMORE COAL SAFETY STATISTICS PAST 12 MONTHS TO DATE

OPERATING RESULTS – MINE PHYSICALS AND COSTS

PRIME WASTE OVERBURDEN (BCM)

ROM COAL MINED
Record quarter for overburden performance outperformed prior guidance of 6.4Mbcm, at >6.5Mbcm. This strong result provides support and confidence to the Companies FY18 average quarterly projection of >6.0Mbcm per quarter.
Overburden is projected to substantially decrease following the commencement of Isaac Plains East where the coal resource is significantly shallower requiring less truck & shovel pre-strip activities.
A record quarter for overburden removal has directly delivered the strongest quarter of ROM coal mining to date, with 564kt mined in the June quarter.
FY18 ROM coal mining is projected at an annualised rate >1.6Mt.
ROM mining rate is projected to substantially increase with the commencement of mining at Isaac Plains East where the shallower coal resource enables higher rates of extraction.
OPERATING RESULTS – MINE PHYSICALS AND COSTS

PRODUCT TONNES PRODUCED FOB COSTS (A$/TONNE)
Open-cut Highwall
Following a record quarter of coal mining (overburden & ROM), product tonnes produced were 392kt, the strongest on record to date.
The FY18 projection for product coal produced is in-line to that achieved in FY17, at approximately 1.2Mt. Noting there will be no additional tonnes from highwall mining in FY18, this implies a stronger outlook in coal mining and coal produced than achieved in FY17.

FOR costs FOR to FOB costs State Royalties
An underlying FOB cost of $102.60/t was achieved for the quarter. Total unit costs in the June Quarter were $125.85/t, including state royalties of $21.35/t (Q3 royalty was $8.46/t), a rail benefit of $2.26/t relating to prior period adjustments and demurrage charges of $4.17/t because of delays due to Tropical Cyclone Debbie.
FY18 Projected unit costs are expected to decline through the adoption of a conservative pricing curve (impacting variable costs) and cost saving initiatives implemented by the Management team, in addition to higher sales in FY18 (lower unit costs) to deplete the 258kt of product coal inventories on hand at 30 June 2017.
Isaac Plains East costs are projected to be an average of $76/t for the first three years.
Note: The FOB cost breakdown between categories has been reclassified by the Management team (resulting in a higher allocation of costs to FOR). Additionally, pre-strip accounting has been adopted going forward (revised in the FY17 quarter figures).
