̶ Infrastructure remains a key focus in China’s inter-regional integration and the government relies on construction expenditure to further boost economic growth ̶ In an effort to boost development in western China, the Chinese government has approved 152 infrastructure projects worth a total of CNY3.8 tn since 2012 ̶ Around 200 projects within the energy & utilities sector is recorded in pre-construction or under-construction phases, worth approximately USD190 bln ̶ China’s de-capacity strategy has led to closures of illegal and inefficient steel mills while the remaining Chinese steel makers are being encouraged to swap to bigger blast furnaces. This requires steelmakers to seek higher quality coking coal with superior chemical properties to bridge the production gap ̶ Coal production capacity in China was reduced by 700.9 Mt during 2016-2018 ̶ China’s demand for imported coal is expected to defy the downward trend, driven by a loss of low sulphur premium HCC, shift in blast furnace size, and location driving a continued reliance on high quality imports

̶ Overview: The Company owns and operates two open-pit coking coal mines, namely the UHG deposit located within the Tavan Tolgoi coal formation and the BN deposit, both of which are located in the South Gobi province of Mongolia ̶ Location: UHG mine is located ~540 km south of Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia, and ~245 km from the Mongolia-China border crossing Gashuunsukhait-Ganqimaodu (“GS-GM”). BN mine is located ~30 km south-west of UHG mine ̶ License: UHG mining license was granted in 2006 and BN mining license was granted in 2008. The Company performed exploration work during 2011-2012 at Tsaikhar Khudag (“THG”) area and was granted the THG mining license in June 2013. All licenses permit the Company to engage in coal mining activities for an initial period of 30- years, extendable twice by 20-years each ̶ Resources: The latest UHG, BN and THG Coal Resources statements were prepared as at 31 December 2018. Based on the latest estimates, pro-forma total Coal Resources are 1,062 Mt ̶ Reserves: The latest Coal Reserves statements for UHG and BN deposits were prepared as at 1 January 2019. The estimates were prepared based on open cut, multi seam, truck and excavator mining
mine (“ROM”) Coal Reserves of UHG and BN deposits are 499 Mt

̶ In 2018, total CHPP ROM coal infeed was 10.0 Mt representing an increase of 25% compared to 2017. ̶ The Company works closely with its customers by providing higher quality coal products suitable for tighter industry standards in China. As such, starting from 4Q2018, the Company has adjusted contractual specifications for HCC product by lowering indicative ash content at dry basis from 11.0% to 10.5%.

̶ The cross-border logistic bottlenecks remain as the main factor limiting potential increase for coal export volumes from Mongolia to China via GS-GM border crossing point. ̶ 1Q2018 GM border crossing average throughput was the lowest in the recent two
recorded in 1H2017. ̶ In 4Q2018, Chinese customs were installing new automatic clearance system at GM, which resulted in a slowdown of the throughput. ̶ Turnaround time required for coal export is extended due to border crossing inefficiencies, which resulted in increased third party contractor tariffs. ̶ The Company has completed during 1H2018 increase of its trucking fleet by additional 150 double-trailer trucks, each capable to carry 130 tonnes per shipment. ̶ In response to the border crossing inefficiencies, from time to time, Mongolian regulators have taken actions to temporarily suspend export customs clearance at mines in TT area and required the exporters to utilize trans-shipment facilities at TKH. Following the directions imposed by regulators, the Company used two modes for export transportation, either direct shipments from UHG to GM or two-step shipments from UHG to TKH and further from TKH to GM.
