•Production Target Assumptions: The following are key assumptions used to achieve the ODP first year target of 5Mtpa of marketable coking coal. 1) In the eight months prior tocommencement of first year ODP production, a 23 million BCM waste removal programme to pre‐strip overburden to top of coal; 2) A strip ratio of 7.7:1 (BCM waste: tonne of coal); 3)Preferentially targeting the Upper Seam with a relatively high proportion of low ash coal; 4) Mining of 5.2Mt of ROM coal (at a 2% moisture on an as received basis) producing 5Mt ofsaleable coal. This is made up of 40% of washed coal and 60% of by‐pass coal meeting a 13% ash cut‐off; 5) Higher ash coal totalling 2.1Mt will be washed in a 300 tonne per hour washplant to be constructed at the Ovoot Project; and 6) Overall product yield of 90% to be achieved averaging 9% moisture for a less than 10% ash product. 7) The mine design is that usedto support the announced Coal Resource and Reserve update for the Ovoot Project (refer ASX announcement dated 31 July 2013). 8)All capital and operating costs are in 2013 dollars.•Development Timeline: Aspire’s development timeline for its Ovoot Project relies primarily on i) the provision of a rail concession and other approvals from the Government ofMongolia for Northern Railways to build, and operate the Northern Rail Line, connecting the Ovoot Project to the Trans‐Mongolian Railway at Erdenet; and ii) financing of the NorthernRail Line. The timing with respect to the grant of a rail concession is outside of the control of Aspire. Certain activities to further progress the Ovoot Project and Northern Rail Linedevelopment, and which will follow the grant of the rail concession licences, include the completion of detailed engineering work to support definitive financing negotiations. TheCompany’s development timeline to achieve first production by 2017/18 is indicative and assumes the grant of necessary Government licences, agreements and approvals in 2014.•Competent Persons Statement:In accordance with the Australian Securities Exchange requirements, the technical information contained in this announcement in relation to the JORC Compliant Coal Reserves andJORC Compliant Coal Resource for the Ovoot Coking Coal Project in Mongolia has been reviewed by Mr Ian De Klerk and Mr Kevin John Irving of Xstract Mining Consultants Pty Ltd.The Coal Resources documented in this release are stated in accordance with the guidelines set out in the JORC Code, 2004.

Elegest Coal Project Development1:
• Phased production stages increasing to 5mtpa production, and up to 15mtpa from 2018.
• 410 km Kyzyl – Kuragino Railway to be completed by 2018:
‐ Privately owned and operated by TEPK‐ Russian Government Guarantees provided for 75% debt portion
• Initial rail capacity 15mtpa, to accommodate full scale production from Elegest, with ability to increase capacity to 27mtpa.
• Burny Cape Coal terminal under construction at Vanino port to accommodate 15mtpa coal throughput, due for completion 2016.
Additional Development of Mezhegey, Tsentrany, Kaa Khem:
• Will require capacity upgrade along Kyzyl – Kuragino Railway, or
• Alternative route via Northern Rail Line provides attractive distance savings2 from Russian coal to China and Far East Russia

1. The introduction of the new Investment Law in November 2013 effectively removed the requirement for Government approvals for Foreign investment to circumstances of changes in control events involving foreign state owned enterprises.
2. The delivery in January 2014 of a new Minerals Policy supportive of continued development and investment by the private sector. The Minerals Law of 2006 will now be updated to take account of this new policy.
3. Cabinet proposed for Parliamentary approval to lift Exploration Licence Moratorium in near future, allowing new mineral projects to be explored.
4. The recent agreement between the Government of Mongolia, Russia and China to increase capacity along the Trans‐Mongolian rail line, combined with the Northern Rail development provides a definitive path to export markets globally, unblocking the infrastructure log jam holding back investment.
5. Continued progress between the Government and Rio Tinto in relation to Stage 2 Underground for Oyu Tolgoi. Stage 1 continues to perform to expectations.
Ovoot is considered one of the key input sources for Mongolia’s largest industrial complex development
13
Sainshand Industrial Complex
• Expected Completion 2015
• Intended to include coke and steel plants and other industry
• Non‐binding MOU signed for the supply of Ovoot coking coal to Sainshand
• Ovoot recognised as one of the key coal suppliers including Tavan Tolgoi
• Huren Chuluut Iron Ore also regarded as key iron ore supplier to Sainshand which would be an additional user of the Northern Rail Line infrastructure
Oxidised and low quality coking coals can be upgraded when blended with Ovoot coking coal
14
Non‐coking, Thermal Coals, and Semi‐Soft Coking Coals
• Coke oven blend tests conducted on 50/50 blend and 75/25 blend (oxidised coal/Ovoot)
• Used alone, low coking, thermal and oxidised coals are not enough to create a coke end product
• However, when blended with Ovoot coking coal, these coals are upgraded significantly to produce a good coke product
• Under Chinese classification, these blended products are classified as a Primary Coking Coal (JM)
Ovoot coking coal = High Value in Use
VITROCOAL: low ash, high fluidity coking coal
