   ANNOUNCEMENT                                                26 April 2018 

REPORT FOR THE QUARTERED 31 MARCH 2018

UITKOMST FINALISES TERMS OF BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT TRANSACTION

MC Mining Limited ("MCM" or "MC Mining" or the "Company") which operates in South Africa, together with its subsidiaries, hereby provides its update for the quarter ended 31 March 2018 (the "Quarter"). All figures are denominated in United States dollars unless otherwise stated. A copy of this report is available on the Company's website, www.mcmining.co.za.

Salient operational features

-- A positive safety performance with no lost-time injuries ("LTIs") during the Quarter (FY2018 Q2: nil);

-- The Uitkomst metallurgical and thermal coal colliery ("Uitkomst Colliery" or "Uitkomst") produced 115,750 tonnes ("t") of run of mine ("ROM") coal during the period, down 18% on the previous quarter primarily due to reduced mining contractor equipment availability;

-- The lack of available third party coal during the Quarter resulted in no blending ROM coal being purchased (FY2018 Q2: 23,437t) together with a decline (8,838t vs. 11,977t) in available third party ROM coal for processing;

-- The shortage of buy-in coal combined with the reduced ROM coal and elevated stock levels at Quarter-end due to rainfall affecting loading of trucks, resulted in Uitkomst's sales of metallurgical, high quality and blended thermal coal sales volumes reducing from 142,843t in the previous quarter to 70,627t in the Quarter;

-- Despite this, the relative contribution per tonne of coal increased 42% against the previous quarter due to a change in sales mix as no lower margin slurry was sold during the Quarter and Uitkomst remained cash generative during the period;

-- Vele coking and thermal coal colliery ("Vele Colliery") was granted an Integrated Water Use Licence ("IWUL") by the South African Department of Water and Sanitation ("DWS") in terms of the National Water Act (Act 36 of 1998) for the colliery's stream diversion and associated infrastructural activities, the outstanding regulatory approval required for the plant modification process.

Corporate and financial features

-- Conclusion of negotiations with Black Economic Empowerment ("BEE") partners during the Quarter with formal documentation completed in early April 2018, resulting in Uitkomst being compliant with the South African Mining Charter empowerment ownership requirements;

-- Brenda Berlin commences as Chief Financial Officer of the Company during the Quarter and was appointed as an Executive Director in April 2018 together with An Chee Sin and "Brian" He Zhen who were appointed as Non-Executive Directors;

-- Available cash at Quarter-end of $11.7 million ($9.7 million at the end of December 2017) and restricted cash of $0.05 million;

-- Hard coking coal prices reduced but are still above the long-term pricing trend while South African export thermal coal prices were steady during the Quarter.

QUARTERLY COMMENTARY

Uitkomst Colliery - Utrecht Coalfields (91% owned, 70% post BEE transaction)

The Uitkomst Colliery employs approximately 573 employees (including contractors) and reported no LTIs during the Quarter (FY2018 Q2: nil) and has now completed over 600 consecutive LTI-free days.

Uitkomst comprises the existing underground coal mine with two underground sections and planned mine extension directly to the north of current operations with circa 16 years remaining life of mine ("LOM"). The colliery previously applied for an amendment to its IWUL to develop a north adit (horizontal shaft) and awaits this approval. Uitkomst sells sized coal (peas) products with the 0 to 40mm product sold into the domestic metallurgical market for use as pulverised coal while the peas are supplied to local energy generation facilities.

The underground operations at Uitkomst have historically been undertaken by an independent contract miner. The contract miner experienced equipment availability challenges during the Quarter resulting in reduced ROM production and, as a result, the Company is in discussions with the mining contractor to resolve these issues. The Uitkomst Colliery produced 115,750t of ROM coal during the three months, 18% lower than the previous quarter. In addition, ROM coal is purchased from third party collieries, processed or blended and sold. The contract with the supplier expired during the Quarter and replacement sources are being investigated.

The reduced availability of third party ROM coal and higher inventory levels at Quarter-end, resulted in overall sales for the three months declining 51% (70,627t vs. 142,843t). This comprised a 33% (30,668t) reduction in sales of coal produced from Uitkomst ROM and a 41,548t reduction in sales emanating from purchased ROM. Uitkomst sized coal stock levels at the end of March 2018 were 5,420t higher than December 2017 due to rain affecting the number of trucks that could access site at the end of the period, delaying sales. However, Uitkomst was cash generative for the three months as detailed in the positive operating cash movement in the Appendix 5B (released under separate cover) while the stockpiled coal will be sold during the June 2018 quarter.

Despite revenue being adversely affected by a 12% stronger South African rand against the US dollar during the Quarter, the relative revenue per tonne improved. This is due to the change in sales mix as no lower cost slurry was sold during the Quarter (FY2018 Q2: 17,201t sold). The sales volumes of higher margin Uitkomst ROM coal were adversely affected by rain in March 2018, preventing trucks accessing site. Mining and processing (production) costs were largely in line with the previous quarter (the numbers below are unaudited and extracted from Uitkomst's management accounts) with unit production costs increasing due to the 24,347t (78%) decline in sales of purchased ROM for processing and blending.

In order to meet the requirements of the South African Mining Charter, the Company concluded the process of selling an additional 21% interest in Uitkomst to BEE shareholders on a vendor financed basis. Negotiations relating to this transaction were finalised during the Quarter and the formal documents were completed in April 2018 and will result in the current BEE shareholders that includes inter alia employees and local communities, increasing their interest in the Uitkomst Colliery. Due to the vendor financing nature of the transaction it will not materially affect cash flows attributable to MC Mining during the repayment period.

Makhado Hard Coking Coal Project - Soutpansberg Coalfield (95% owned - 69% post BEE and Industrial Development Corporation Limited transactions)

The Makhado hard coking and thermal coal project ("Makhado Project" or "Makhado") recorded no LTIs (FY2018 Q2: nil) during the Quarter.

The Company anticipates that Makhado will be constructed over a period of 12 months, has a LOM in excess of thirty years and, allows for future expansion of mining and processing if appropriate. The project has all the regulatory permits required to commence mining and MC Mining requires access to the key Lukin and Salaita farms to confirm geotechnical information prior to construction commencing. These properties are subject to the South African Government's land claim process and final resolution of this matter remained outstanding at the end of the Quarter. The Company monitors the progress thereof and any potential effects of this process on the Makhado construction timetable, but is not directly involved and continues to evaluate alternative options.

During the December 2017 quarter, MC Mining engaged independent mining experts Minxcon (Proprietary) Limited to complete a Competent Persons Report on the Makhado Project. The results were received during the Quarter and confirmed the figures relating to costs, capital expenditure and returns previously released to the market.

The Company previously commenced hard coking and export thermal coal off-take discussions with various parties and expects that a substantial portion of Makhado's hard coking coal will be sold locally with the balance sold on international markets. These discussions are ongoing and MC Mining anticipates they will be finalised during the June 2018 quarter.

Vele Coking and Thermal Coal Colliery - Limpopo (Tuli) Coalfield (100% owned)

The Vele Colliery remained on care and maintenance during the Quarter and no LTIs were recorded during the period (FY2018 Q2: nil).

During the Quarter the DWS granted the IWUL required for the stream diversion in respect of future mining. This approval completes the regulatory suite of authorisations required for the Vele Colliery and the final decision on whether to proceed with the plant modifications will include an assessment of long-term pricing as well as logistics considerations. MC Mining's Board is in the process of evaluating all options available and this will be communicated at the appropriate time.

Greater Soutpansberg Project (MbeuYashu) - Soutpansberg Coalfield (74% owned)

The MbeuYashu Project recorded no LTIs (FY2018 Q2: nil) during the three months.

No further developments to report during the Quarter.

Markets

The hard coking coal price declined during the Quarter due to supply constraints in Australia being resolved but long-term forecasts based on market fundamentals reflect favourable pricing. The API4 thermal coal prices held steady during the Quarter at approximately $95/t due to continued international demand.

David Brown, CEO commented:

"The significant political changes that occurred in South Africa during December 2017 resulted in a much stronger Rand compared to the first half of the 2018 financial year. The Company is confident that the political focus on ensuring regulatory certainty should lead to increased capital investment, particularly in the mining sector."

"Production at the Uitkomst Colliery was adversely affected by mining contractor equipment shortages and the Company is exploring various options to rectify this. Despite the limited supply of third party coal, the mine continued to be cash generative and Uitkomst is assessing expansion opportunities to increase ROM production at the colliery."

"The granting of the Vele Colliery IWUL in respect of the stream diversion completes the regulatory authorisations required for the colliery and confirms Government's support of MC Mining's model which facilitates the co-existence of mining, agriculture and heritage land uses."

"The Makhado Project has the requisite regulatory approvals to start mining but construction is dependent on the following three initiatives, securing access to two key properties that are part of a formal land claim process, finalisation of the hard coking and thermal coal marketing agreements and, securing the requisite funding. The Company looks forward to progress on these initiatives and regularly assesses available options as construction can only commence once all three are finalised."
