First coal production occurred in 1988, with peak production achieved in 1994 of 3Mt coal mined for 1.87Mt of coal product.

Total coal mined was 33.6Mt (ROM), with total coal sales of 19.6Mt.

Thin seam selective mining from shallow coal deposits at less than 150m depth.

Majority of the remaining coal resources are at depths of 0-100m from surface.

Historically, 73% of coal sales were exports with the balance (27%) sold into the domestic market.

The mine employed more than 120 employees prior to closure.

Site Infrastructure

The original Ebenezer coal handling and preparation facilities (CHPP) were removed from the site and sold after the mine closed in 2003.

During operation, the rail loop was shared with Jeebropilly. The current capacity of the stockpile area used by Jeebropilly is reported to be 250,000t.

The existing tailings dam on the Ebenezer lease remains, but is likely to be filled to capacity.

OGL is assessing the purchase of a second hand wash plant for use in the re-commencement of the mining operation.

Both Ebenezer and Jeebropilly washplant were supplied water through independent underground pipelines from the tidal reach of the Bremer View River –legal easement and water supply license still in place.

The Jeebropilly mine exploits the same Walloon coals as Ebenezer.

A washplant is installed at Jeebropilly which has similar technical capabilities as those required by Ebenezer.

The feed capacity of the wash plant is around 1.8Mtpa, while Jeebropilly is currently operating at about 0.9Mtpa.

One possibility is for OGL and New Hope to sign an agreement for OGL to utilise the remaining capacity at the Jeebropilly washplant.

Project Highlights

Project covers 9,202ha of private land with extensive exploration drilling by EMC.

Bremer View is located adjacent to Ebenezer.

Coal quality appears similar to Ebenezer.

Bremer View Coal Project MDL 172 granted from 5 October 2010 to 31 May 2015.

Project contains coal seams from the Walloon Coal Measure with 2 coal sequences:

– Ebenezer (6 seam groups)

– Mt Mort (5 seam groups).

Coal Resources

Current JORC coal resources of 208Mt at Bremer View is larger than New Hope’s operating Jeebropilly Mine.

88% of coal resources are between 0-100m depth. Resource estimate based on 380 historical drill holes.

Further coal exploration target of 80-100Mt.

A further 77 drill holes were not modelled due to lack of coal quality data, hence noted as 80-100Mt coal Exploration Target.

Drill program of ~190 drill holes required to increase resource confidence to the Indicated category.

Rail Access

The existing Jeebropilly/Ebenezer rail loop to Ebenezer was historically shared with the Jeebropilly mine.

Coal was transported by a conveyor system across the road and coal was stockpiled within the loop to be loaded on to the train wagon.

The Projects are <80km by rail to the Port of Brisbane (Fisherman’s Island) and discussions are advanced with infrastructure provider regarding access and capacity on the rail line.

Page 16: OGL Resources Limited Ebenezer & Bremer View Acquisition ...

Existing Port capacity at the Port of Brisbane (Fishermans Island) is >10Mtpa of export thermal coal.

The coal terminal is operated by QBH, a subsidiary of New Hope.

Initial access discussions have been held with the Port of Brisbane and relevant third party infrastructure providers.

Additional options under review outside Fishermans Island

Exploration & Development Risks

Exploration is a high risk activity that requires large amounts of expenditure over extended periods of time. There can be no guarantee that the planned exploration programs will lead to positive exploration results and the discovery of a commercial deposit or further, a commercial mining operation.

There is no assurance that exploration and development of the mineral interests owned by the Company, or any other projects that may be acquired by the Company in the future can be profitably exploited.

Coal Price and Exchange Rate Risk

Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include world demand for bulk, base and other metals, forward selling by producers, and production cost levels in major metal-producing regions.

Moreover, commodity prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as expectations regarding inflation, interest rates and global and regional demand for, and supply of, the commodity as well as general global economic conditions. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

Key Personnel Risk The Company’s success depends to a significant extent upon its key management personnel, as well

as other management and technical personnel including those employed on a contractual basis. The loss of the services of such personnel could have an adverse effect on the Company.

Key Risks
