10 September 2020 Project No. 19119420

19119420: NEW LARGO COAL MINE EA/EMPR AMENDMENT AND WULAS PROCESS: INVITATION TO REGISTER AS AN I&AP, COMMENT, AND ATTEND A FOCUS GROUP MEETING

Dear Sir/ Madam

New Largo was previously owned by Anglo American Inyosi Coal (Anglo). Anglo obtained a mining right for the New Largo Coal Mine through an environmental impact assessment (EIA) process undertaken in terms of the National Environmental Management Act 107 of 1998 (NEMA) and the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002 (MPRDA). The Mpumalanga Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (MDEDET), now Mpumalanga Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Land and Environmental Affairs (M-DARDLEA), granted Anglo an Environmental Authorisation (EA) in 2012. The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) in 2013 approved the environmental management plan (EMP). Furthermore, the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) issued three Water Use Licences (WULs) between 2013 and 2015. Thereafter, Anglo put the New Largo Coal Mine project on hold and submitted requests for extension of the validity of the authorisations to the Regulators.

New Largo Coal (Pty) Ltd (New Largo), a consortium comprised of Seriti New Largo (45%), the Industrial Development Corporation (22.5%), Coalzar (22.5%) and the New Largo Coal Employee and New Largo Coal Community Trusts (5% each), is the holder of an existing right to mine coal over various farm portions within the Victor Khanye and eMalahleni Local Municipalities, Mpumalanga Province.

New Largo Coal (Pty) Ltd acquired the New Largo Coal Mine Project from Anglo American Inyosi Coal (Anglo) in August 2018 and subsequently commissioned a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) of Pit H to re-evaluate the deposit as a standalone mining operation, and a separate BFS for the remainder of the mine (referred to as the Main Mine). New Largo now proposes to amend the original mine schedule to commence mining of Pit H at an earlier date than the timeframes stipulated in the original mining schedule. This earlier schedule will require the development of some infrastructure in locations other than those specified in the EMP and WUL, including an offloading facility and link to the Kusile Main Feed conveyor at the mine’s boundary with Kusile Power Station. Pit D will be mined by Africoal Mining (Pty) Ltd (Africoal), on behalf of New Largo, as an extension to their adjacent Klipfontein Colliery. The coal mined from Pit D and Pit H will be trucked to Kusile Power Station and other end users.

2

To give effect to these proposed changes, New Largo must apply for amendments to its approved EA and prepare an EMPr. New Largo must also apply for WULs to accommodate additional water uses not previously authorised by the DWS.

New Largo has appointed Golder Associates Africa (Pty) Ltd (Golder), an independent environmental assessment practitioner, to undertake the EA/EMPr amendment process and WULAs.

How to register as an I&AP, to comment and attend a focus Group Meeting:

Please complete the enclosed Registration and Comment Sheet and return to the PP office by post or email;

Please provide comments on the proposed project, by contacting the Public Participation Office telephonically, by email or post; or

Attending the Focus Group meeting as follows:

Date: 18 September 2020

Time: 10:00

Venue: Oakhouse Lodge

The objectives of the Focus Group meeting will be to share information about the proposed environmental authorisation and WUL application processes; for I&APs to ask questions, raise issues of concern, contribute comments and suggestions for enhanced benefits.

We would like to encourage you to actively participate in the environmental authorisation and WUL processes. Should you wish to obtain more information to comment, please contact Golder at (011) 254 4800, fax 086 582 1561 or email: PPoffice@golder.co.za.

Sincerely,

Golder Associates Africa (Pty) Ltd.

NEW LARGO COAL (PTY) LTD: APPLICATION TO AMEND AN ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORISATION; ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME; AND APPLICATION FOR WATER USE LICENCE

AT THE NEW LARGO COAL MINE, MPUMALANGA PROVINCE Notice issued in terms of the National Environmental Management Act 107 of 1998 (NEMA) (as amended);

the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations, 2014 (as amended); the National Water Act 36 of 1998 (NWA); and the Water Use Licence Application and Appeals Regulations, 2017

New Largo Coal (Pty) Ltd (New Largo), a consortium comprised of Seriti New Largo (45%), the Industrial Development Corporation (22.5%), Coalzar (22.5%) and the New Largo Coal Employee and New Largo Coal Community Trusts (5% each), is the holder of an existing right to mine coal over various farm portions within the Victor Khanye and eMalahleni Local Municipalities, Mpumalanga Province.

The New Largo Coal Mine was previously owned by Anglo American Inyosi Coal (Anglo). Anglo obtained a mining right for the New Largo Coal Mine through an environmental impact assessment (EIA) process undertaken in terms of the National Environmental Management Act 107 of 1998 (NEMA) and the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002 (MPRDA). The Mpumalanga Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (MDEDET), now Mpumalanga Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Land and Environmental Affairs (M-DARDLEA), granted Anglo an Environmental Authorisation (EA) in 2012. The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) in 2013 approved the environmental management plan (EMP). Furthermore, the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) issued three Water Use Licences (WULs) between 2013 and 2015. Thereafter, Anglo put the New Largo Coal Mine project on hold and submitted requests for extension of the validity of the authorisations to the Regulators.

New Largo Coal (Pty) Ltd acquired the New Largo Coal Mine Project from Anglo in August 2018 and subsequently commissioned a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) of Pit H to re-evaluate the deposit as a standalone mining operation, and a separate BFS for the remainder of the mine (referred to as the Main Mine). New Largo now proposes to amend the original mine schedule to commence mining of Pit H and Pit D at an earlier date than the timeframes stipulated in the original mining schedule. This earlier schedule will require the development of some infrastructure in locations other than those specified in the EMP and WUL, including an offloading facility and link to the Kusile Main Feed conveyor at the mine’s boundary with Kusile Power Station. Pit D will be mined through from the adjacent Klipfontein Colliery. The coal mined from Pit D and Pit H will be trucked to Kusile Power Station and other end users.

To give effect to these proposed changes, New Largo must apply for amendments to its approved EA and prepare an updated EMPr. New Largo must also apply for a WUL to accommodate additional water uses not previously authorised by the DWS.

New Largo has appointed Golder Associates Africa (Pty) Ltd (Golder), an independent environmental assessment practitioner, to undertake the EA/EMPr amendment process and WULA.

INVITATION TO REGISTER AS AN I&AP AND TO COMMENT

Interested and affected parties (I&APs) are invited to register as stakeholders and comment on the draft EMPr and related specialist studies that are available for a public review period of 30 days, from 20 November 2020 to 11 January 2021. Comments regarding the proposed WULA may be lodged during the 60-day comment period, which will commence on 20 November 2020 and conclude on 09 February 2021. Printed copies of the draft reports are available for public review at the public places listed in the table below. Electronic copies of the reports and an online registration and comment sheet are available for download at the following website: https://www.golder.com/global-locations/africa/south-africa-public-documents/

NEW LARGO COAL (PTY) LTD: APPLICATION TO AMEND AN ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORISATION; ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME; AND APPLICATION FOR

WATER USE LICENCE AT THE NEW LARGO COAL MINE, MPUMALANGA PROVINCE

Notice issued in terms of the National Environmental Management Act 107 of 1998 (NEMA) (as amended); the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations, 2014

(as amended); the National Water Act 36 of 1998 (NWA); and the Water Use Licence Application and Appeals Regulations, 2017

New Largo Coal (Pty) Ltd (New Largo), a consortium comprised of Seriti New Largo (45%), the Industrial Development Corporation (22.5%), Coalzar (22.5%) and the New Largo Coal Employee and New Largo Coal Community Trusts (5% each), is the holder of an existing right to mine coal over various farm portions within the Victor Khanye and eMalahleni Local Municipalities, Mpumalanga Province.

The New Largo Coal Mine was previously owned by Anglo American Inyosi Coal (Anglo). Anglo obtained a mining right for the New Largo Coal Mine through an environmental impact assessment (EIA) process undertaken in terms of the National Environmental Management Act 107 of 1998 (NEMA) and the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002 (MPRDA). The Mpumalanga Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (MDEDET), now Mpumalanga Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Land and Environmental Affairs (M-DARDLEA), granted Anglo an Environmental Authorisation (EA) in 2012. The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) in 2013 approved the environmental management plan (EMP). Furthermore, the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) issued three Water Use Licences (WULs) between 2013 and 2015. Thereafter, Anglo put the New Largo Coal Mine project on hold and submitted requests for extension of the validity of the authorisations to the Regulators.

New Largo Coal (Pty) Ltd acquired the New Largo Coal Mine Project from Anglo in August 2018 and subsequently commissioned a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) of Pit H to re-evaluate the deposit as a standalone mining operation, and a separate BFS for the remainder of the mine (referred to as the Main Mine). New Largo now proposes to amend the original mine schedule to commence mining of Pit H and Pit D at an earlier date than the timeframes stipulated in the original mining schedule. This earlier schedule will require the development of some infrastructure in locations other than those specified in the EMP and WUL, including an offloading facility and link to the Kusile Main Feed conveyor at the mine’s boundary with Kusile Power Station. Pit D will be mined through from the adjacent Klipfontein Colliery. The coal mined from Pit D and Pit H will be trucked to Kusile Power Station and other end users.

To give effect to these proposed changes, New Largo must apply for amendments to its approved EA and prepare an updated EMPr. New Largo must also apply for a WUL to accommodate additional water uses not previously authorised by the DWS.

New Largo has appointed Golder Associates Africa (Pty) Ltd (Golder), an independent environmental assessment practitioner, to undertake the EA/EMPr amendment process and WULA.

INVITATION TO REGISTER AS AN I&AP AND TO COMMENTInterested and affected parties (I&APs) are invited to register as stakeholders and comment on the draft EMPr and related specialist studies that are available for a public review period of 30 days, from 20 November 2020 to 11 January 2021.

Printed copies of the draft reports are available for public review at the public places listed in the table below.

NEW LARGO COAL (PTY) LTD: APPLICATION TO AMEND AN ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORISATION; ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME; AND APPLICATION FOR WATER USE LICENCE AT THE

NEW LARGO COAL MINE, MPUMALANGA PROVINCE INVITATION TO REGISTER AS AN INTERESTED AND AFFECTED PARTY, AND COMMENT

Notice issued in terms of the National Environmental Management Act 107 of 1998 (NEMA) (as amended); the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations, 2014 (as amended); the National Water Act 36 of 1998 (NWA); and the Water Use Licence Application and Appeals Regulations, 2017. New Largo Coal (Pty) Ltd (New Largo), a consortium comprised of Seriti New Largo (45%), the Industrial Development Corporation (22.5%), Coalzar (22.5%) and the New Largo Coal Employee and New Largo Coal Community Trusts (5% each), is the holder of an existing right to mine coal over various farm portions within the Victor Khanye and eMalahleni Local Municipalities, Mpumalanga Province. The New Largo Coal Mine was previously owned by Anglo American Inyosi Coal (Anglo). Anglo obtained a mining right for the New Largo Coal Mine through an environmental impact assessment (EIA) process undertaken in terms of the National Environmental Management Act 107 of 1998 (NEMA) and the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002 (MPRDA). The Mpumalanga Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (MDEDET), now Mpumalanga Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Land and Environmental Affairs (M-DARDLEA), granted Anglo an Environmental Authorisation (EA) in 2012. The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) in 2013 approved the environmental management plan (EMP). Furthermore, the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) issued three Water Use Licences (WULs) between 2013 and 2015. Thereafter, Anglo put the New Largo Coal Mine project on hold and submitted requests for extension of the validity of the authorisations to the Regulators. New Largo Coal (Pty) Ltd acquired the New Largo Coal Mine Project from Anglo in August 2018 and subsequently commissioned a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) of Pit H to re-evaluate the deposit as a standalone mining operation, and a separate BFS for the remainder of the mine (referred to as the Main Mine). New Largo now proposes to amend the original mine schedule to commence mining of Pit H and Pit D at an earlier date than the timeframes stipulated in the original mining schedule. This earlier schedule will require the development of some infrastructure in locations other than those specified in the EMP and WUL, including an offloading facility and link to the Kusile Main Feed conveyor at the mine’s boundary with Kusile Power Station. Pit D will be mined through from the adjacent Klipfontein Colliery. The coal mined from Pit D and Pit H will be trucked to Kusile Power Station and other end users. To give effect to these proposed changes, New Largo must apply for amendments to its approved EA and prepare an updated EMPr. New Largo must also apply for a WUL to accommodate additional water uses not previously authorised by the DWS. New Largo has appointed Golder Associates Africa (Pty) Ltd (Golder), an independent environmental assessment practitioner, to undertake the EA/EMPr amendment process and WULA.
