3. Morupule Colliery owns one of the best coal leases and only operating coal mine in Botswana. This makes it central to managing the Botswana power crisisMorupule Colliery owns one of the best coal leases and only operating coal mine in Botswana.

13. The MCL Expansion Project in Brief Expansion of Room & Pillar Underground Mine (~1mt/yr to ~3.mt/yr)
Mining Fleet from 1 Continuous Miner (CM) to 4 CMs
New Surface Plant (crushing, screening, stockpiling & coal handling)
Upgraded Power Supply, Water Supply & Ventilation System
Surface infrastructure - Workshops, Construction Offices etc
EPCM contractor Fluor appointed
Imminent mobilisation to site
Purchasing long lead items
Project on schedule
14. The MCL Expansion Project in Brief Expansion driven by the need to Supply first coal to Morupule B Phase 1 by June 2011
Coal Sales Agreement signed with BPC, for the delivery of approximately 50 million tonnes of coal to both Morupule A and Morupule B Phase 1
Term of contract over 20 years
Proven & Probable Reserves are 70 million tonnes (based on 4.2m mining height)
25. Infrastructure
The plan shows the infrastructure that exists, the services that will be required to develop the mine and which has been costed.
This includes
Connection to water supply ( 1) connection to the Serowe /Palapye pipeline, 2) boreholes and connection to the Sotherly Serowe wellfield)
Road connection from the mine(s) and CPP to the main Serowe/Palapye road
Overland ROM Conveyor to CPP and distribution conveyors to export and BPC
Connection via a ‘Bear’ line to the main substation near Morupule Colliery
Waste dump construction for CPP waste disposal
New rail load out facilities.

27. The estimated capital cost of US$ 540M (BWP 3.8Bn)
In world relative terms the project is very cost competitive on a FOR cash operating cost basis, and depending on the export pricing should support the cost of railing to a coastal port
20yrs
Royalities to GRB 600mill BWP
Total opex costs approx 19billion to local & regional suppliers
Direct employment salaries 2.2billion BWP
Strip ratio bcm/product tonne to product coal less than 5The estimated capital cost of US$ 540M (BWP 3.8Bn)
