    Current JORC Resource

    Across the three properties, CDS has reported an initial inferred resource estimate of
    415Mt, split into approximately 35% coking grade and 65% thermal grade. Zoetfontein
    and Lisbon are considered to be mainly coking coal type properties whilst Koert Lou
    Zyn Pan is majority thermal. RBSA approval of the transaction, Comdek will
    aggressively target +1Bt coal resource across these three properties.

    Geological Formation

    A thin layer of overburden is present (~16m) and the open pit stripping ratio is
    estimated to be 1:1. The mineralization extends to 110m in depth, but the resource
    calculation is based on a depth of only ~75m, thus, there is high potential for the
    resource to be increased. Additionally, the resource has a similar geological sequence
    to the Grootegeluk (811Mt Reserve), providing further optimism. Koert Lou Zyn Pan’s
    formation exhibits all 11 zones shown in figure 2, whilst Zoetfontein and Lisbon are
    shallower with zones 1-4 at the surface

    Nearby Rail

    Approximately 40km South East of Comdek’s properties is a rail line servicing RBCT,
    that is currently undergoing expansion plans to increase export capacity to 91Mtpa
    (Expected completion in early 2009). The expansion gives higher preference to pro-
    BEE companies and Comdek will look to tender an application. Current spot prices
    out of RBCT are well above historical prices.
    The Witbank power region is also connected via rail and the coalfields in this area are
    maturing with approximately 10-20 year mine life remaining. Total Witbank capacity
    is 40-50Mtpa and power stations will need new sources of coal



    TASMANIAN COAL AQUISITIONS
    During the last quarter, Comdek signed an agreement to acquire EIL, a company that
    has applied for two coal projects located in Tasmania - Woodbury and Bonnie’s Tier
    (Latrobe). These properties were previously owned by BHP and pre-JORC historical
    drilling indicates between 12 to 22 million tonnes of black bituminous thermal coal.
    Comdek believes that there is potential for significant upgrades to this resource and
    is targeting an initial resource of 100-160 million tonnes of thermal coal.
    Ideally located, both projects are close to rail infrastructure with multiple port
    infrastructure options. Potential buyers of the coal can be local power stations or
    commercial industry clients, such as cement manufacturers near Latrobe.
