of A$40 million (equivalent to approximately ZAR 472 million) (Rights Issue).



1A reference in this announcement to the equivalent “ZAR price” for an item (e.g. for the Issue Price) is based on the
ZAR/AUD exchange rate of 11.79 at noon (Sydney time) on 16 September 2022.
2For further detail in relation to the set-off (and priority sub-underwriting) arrangements between the Company and the
Dendocept Group, please see Sections 1.3 and 1.4 of the Rights Issue offer booklet (Offer Booklet).
The funds raised under the Rights Issue will (either directly, or by way of “set-off” in the case of the
repayment of the Standby Facility) be used by the Company:

•      to meet the Company’s equity contribution (required for the IDC’s proposed debt funding,
       detailed further below) in relation the development of the Makhado Project;

•      fund the continued development of the Makhado Project;

•      reduction of debt owed under the current Standby Facility (which is approximately A$5.09 million
       (equivalent to ZAR 60 million)); and

• for general working capital (including to pay the costs of the Rights Issue) purposes.
Please see below and Sections 1.3 and 1.4 of the Offer Booklet for further detail on the Company’s
proposed use of the funds raised under the Rights Issue.

The Rights Issue will be made to all holders of the Company’s fully paid ordinary shares (each, a Share)
who are, as at 7pm (local time 3) on Wednesday, 12 October 2022 (Record Date), registered (in
accordance with the records of the Company’s share registry) with an address in Australia, New
Zealand or South Africa (Eligible Shareholders).

The Issue Price per New Share under the Rights Issue represents an approximately 49.7% discount to
the 30-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Shares traded on ASX and an approximately
48.0% discount to the 30-day VWAP of Shares traded on JSE, in either case, over the 30 trading days
on which trades were recorded prior to (and including) Friday, 16 September 2022.

Since the Rights Issue is renounceable, “Rights 4” will be tradeable on ASX and JSE (but not on AIM)
and/or otherwise transferable by Eligible Shareholders to Eligible Investors 5. This provides Eligible
Shareholders with the opportunity to sell some or all of their Rights and for Eligible Investors to acquire
Rights and exercise those Rights to subscribe for a corresponding number of New Shares 6.

Morgans Corporate Limited ACN 010 539 607 (Morgans or the Underwriter) and Adelaide Equity
Partners Limited ACN 119 059 559 (together, the Joint Lead Managers) will act as joint lead managers
of the Right Issue. The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by Morgans, pursuant to the terms of an
underwriting agreement details of which are included in Sections 1.7 and 3.3 (and Schedule 2) of the
Offer Booklet.

Senosi Group Investment Holdings Proprietary Limited (an entity that is owned and controlled by Mr
Mathews Senosi, a Director of the Company) (SGIH) and Dendocept Proprietary Limited (Dendocept)
and its associates (collectively, the Dendocept Group) have each (as applicable) (i) irrevocably
committed to take up their Rights in full and (ii) entered into sub-underwriting agreements with the
Underwriter for the balance of the total amount the Company is seeking to raise under the Rights
Issue. SGIH has a pro rata Entitlement of 38,824,276 New Shares pursuant to the Rights Issue, and has
additionally sub-underwritten up to 51,128,010 of the balance of New Shares not subscribed for or

3A reference in this announcement to “local time” is a reference to Sydney time for Eligible Investors in Australia (and New
Zealand) or to Johannesburg time for Eligible Investors in South Africa.
4 The tradeable securities known as “Rights” are referred to as “Letters of Allocation” for Eligible Shareholders in South Africa.

5   As that term is defined in the Offer Booklet.
6 Eligible Shareholders can choose to take up all, part or none of their Rights. The Rights Issue will also include a shortfall

facility under which Eligible Shareholders who take up all of their Rights may also apply for New Shares in excess of their pro
rata entitlement. There is no guarantee that Eligible Shareholders who apply for additional New Shares in this manner will
receive any or all of the additional New Shares for which they apply.


                                                                                                                                2
sold under the Rights Issue (for which SGIH will receive a fee from the Underwriter).

Should any Shareholder (together with its Associates) acquire a Relevant Interest in more than 20% of
the Shares on completion of the Rights Issue that Shareholder will, pursuant to the requirements of
AIM, be required to enter into a market standard relationship agreement with the Company designed
to seek to ensure that the Company’s business is run for the benefit of Shareholders as a whole and
independently of any such Shareholder.

Fractional entitlements to New Shares will be rounded up or down (as appropriate) with fractions of
0.5 and above being rounded up and fractions below 0.5 being rounded down in either case to the
nearest whole New Share.

Whilst the Company believes the Rights Issue structure to be the most appropriate mechanism to raise
the required funds, it acknowledges that certain Shareholders in ineligible jurisdictions will be unable
to participate. However, the Company has opted for a renounceable rights issue which allows all
Shareholders, including those ineligible to participate, the potential opportunity to monetize their
rights if they choose to.

Timetable
Eligible Investors should refer to Schedule 1 of this announcement for the corporate action timetable
applicable to the Rights Issue on ASX and to Schedule 1 of the Offer Booklet for the corporate action
timetable applicable to the Rights Issue on JSE.

Offer Booklet
Further details of the Rights Issue and other information described in this announcement are set out
in the Offer Booklet, a copy of which will be sent to Eligible Shareholders (together with a personalised
form of instruction) in accordance with the timetable set out in Schedule 1 of the Offer Booklet.
Eligible Shareholders should read the Offer Booklet carefully and in its entirety before deciding
whether to participate in the Rights Issue.

A copy of the Offer Booklet will also be available at the Company’s website: www.mcmining.co.za.

Godfrey Gomwe, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of MC Mining, commented:
“The capital raise is a significant development for the Company and the proceeds will also satisfy a
requirement for debt funders (the IDC debt funding) who are expected to contribute to the
development of the Makhado Project. With record global coal prices, this is a very exciting time for MC
Mining. The Rights Issue is transformational for the Company and ensures that we have the
cornerstone funding for our flagship Makhado Project. The fundraising process has been undertaken
in tough equity markets, particularly for junior coal miners, and is it very pleasing to have the support
of our large shareholders.

The Makhado Project has very attractive project economics and is well positioned given the favourable
coal price forecasts. This is an important milestone in our ambition to become the premier producer of
hard coking coal in South Africa and provide long-term returns to our Shareholders. The proceeds of
the Rights Issue will contribute towards early-works at the project, including confirmatory and
geotechnical drilling, civils infrastructure and securing long-lead time equipment for the Makhado coal
processing plant.”

Makhado Project Background
The Makhado Project is a hard coking coal project in the Limpopo province of South Africa. It is located

                                                                                                       3
in the Soutpansberg Coalfield, approximately 15km north of the town of Louis Trichardt. It spans an
area of over 60km² across five farms. The Company owns the surface rights of the properties required
for the project and has the requisite regulatory approvals to commence mining. The Makhado Project
is MC Mining’s flagship asset and most advanced project, having reached bankable feasibility in April
2022. The bankable feasibility study 7 (BFS) assessed a ‘Base Case’ development of Makhado. This was
subsequently expanded in August 2022 by Minxcon to assess potential alternative development
scenarios (at pre-feasibility level) as well as the advantages of BOOT (build, own, operate, transfer)
funding for elements of the Makhado coal processing plant (CPP).



The development of the Makhado Project will provide significant direct and indirect benefits to local
communities in one of the poorest areas of South Africa. Makhado is expected to create approximately
650 job opportunities.
Makhado Project Development Strategy
Minxcon assessed potential alternative development scenarios (to pre-feasibility level) for Makhado
with a view to optimise capex and reduce operational costs 8. This resulted in MC Mining subsequently
committing to a development strategy involving the construction of the Makhado CPP. This plant will
have the same processing capacity as the Vele CPP, namely 2.0Mt per annum. Whilst this approach
will increase construction capital costs, it is expected to improve returns over the long-term when
compared to the Base Case through higher operational margins, unlocking long-term value for
Shareholders and retains the Vele Colliery for future opportunities.

The construction of a new CPP at Makhado results in a significant reduction in logistics costs and
provides similar NPV results but has a peak funding of ZAR 1.3 billion (equivalent to A$110 million).
The increased peak funding is due to the requirement to build the Makhado CPP. In order to reduce
peak funding requirement, Minxcon further assessed opportunities for BOOT arrangements. The
results were that the NPV value remained similar but the BOOT funding of up to ZAR 653m resulted
in Makhado’s IRR increasing significantly (i.e. from 41.0% to 61.6%).

The table below reflects the Minxcon assessment of the improved economics of BOOT funding the
Makhado CPP.

(1) Not necessarily indicative of finance to be secured (assumes 100%).
(2) The 6.1% (real, after tax/ 10.9% nominal) discount rate calculated by Minxcon was the optimal rate
due to inter alia, the Company’s financial position and macroeconomic factors.
Following this, MC Mining has initiated discussions with potential BOOT funding providers and has
also approached potential service providers to complete the detailed study work that will allow for a
full process plant design specifically for the Makhado CPP. Minxcon confirmed that this design work
could potentially materially reduce capital costs and in turn, the peak funding requirement.

Makhado Project Funding
The development of the Makhado Project is expected to be funded by a mix of debt and equity. MC
Mining has received written indicative commitments for debt funding of ZAR 305 million
(approximately A$26 million) towards the development of the Makhado Project. This comprises a new
ZAR 245 million (approximately A$21 million) facility from the Industrial Development Corporation of
South Africa Limited (IDC), which is still subject to the successful conclusion of a due diligence exercise
and credit approval, and a ZAR 60 million (approximately A$5.09 million) written commitment for
BOOT funding from a minerals processing company for portions of the Makhado CPP. This debt
funding is contingent on the capital mix of the Company and proceeds from the Rights Issue will be
sufficient to meet such requirement of the debt funders.

The potential funding for Makhado is assessed in the table below.

Standby Facility
As announced on 6 June 2022, the Company and Dendocept entered into an agreement pursuant to
which Dendocept would provide the Company with up to ZAR 60 million (equivalent to approximately
A$5.09 million) by way of a standby loan facility (Standby Facility). Funds drawn under the Standby
Facility were utilised by the Company to progress early works at the Makhado Project, to enhance
specific areas of the Makhado BFS and for related geotechnical studies and confirmatory drilling 9 as
well as working capital.

As at the date of this announcement, the Company has drawn ZAR 60 million under the Standby
Facility with interest settled on a monthly basis. The Company intends to settle the outstanding
balance by offsetting against Dendocept’s payment obligations for New Shares, either as a
Shareholder or as a sub-underwriter, owing under the Standby Facility. To the extent any Standby
Facility balance remains owing following the Right Issue, the Company intends to promptly repay this
to Dendocept either in cash or through the issue of additional equity.

The Company will (at its election) either repay that remaining amount in cash (including from cash
raised under the Rights Issue) and/or (but provided that the Company has sufficient placement
capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (and is permitted to do so under section 606 of the Corporations Act))
convert that outstanding amount into New Shares at either the Issue Price or at an issue price which
is 85% of the 30-day VWAP of Shares traded on JSE (at the Company’s election) (with that VWAP
calculated over the 30 trading days prior to the date on which those New Shares are issued to
Dendocept (if any)).

Use of Funds
The purpose of the Rights Issue is to raise gross proceeds of A$40 million (equivalent to ZAR 472
million) to be utilised by the Company for the following purposes:




9For further detail on the nature and terms of the Standby Facility, please see the Company’s announcement dated 6 June
2022.


                                                                                                                     6
 Use of Funds                                                                       Amount

 Fund the Company’s equity contribution requirement in relation to the
                                                                                 A$31.11 million
 continued development of the Makhado Project

 Repay the total amount owing under the Standby Facility                         A$5.09 million


 General working capital (including to pay the costs of the Rights Issue)        A$3.80 million


 Total                                                                            A$40 million


The proceeds will contribute towards the development of Makhado, commencement of early-works
that will facilitate (funding dependent), the commencement of construction of Makhado in early
CY2023. The early works include completion of the confirmatory and geotechnical drilling
programmes, construction of specific civils infrastructure and ensures the Company can commence
securing long-lead time items required for the CPP. MC Mining has also contracted specialised
engineering consultants to complete the detailed design for the Makhado CPP.

Treatment of the Rights of Ineligible Shareholders
The Company has appointed a nominee affiliated with the Underwriter and will issue that nominee
with the Rights which would otherwise have been available for subscription by Ineligible Shareholders
(i.e. had they been eligible to participate in the Rights Issue). The nominee has been approved by the
Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) pursuant to section 615 of the Corporations
Act.

The Rights issued to the ASIC approved nominee will then be offered for sale and, to the extent that
there is any value (referred to as a “premium”) realised from that sale, that premium (less any
expenses associated with that sale) will be remitted pro rata to all Ineligible Shareholders (and
regardless of which register the Ineligible Shareholder holds their Shares, where, or to whom the
Rights were ultimately sold).

number of New Shares to those Shareholders and DI Holders that is equivalent to their pro rata
entitlement to New Shares under the Rights Issue (i.e. had they been eligible to participate in the
Rights Issue) at the Issue Price per New Share. Any such direct placement (if applicable) will be made
in parallel with but not under the Rights Issue. Such direct placements in the United Kingdom will only
be made: (1) to any legal entity which is a qualified investor (as defined under Article 2 of the
Prospectus Regulation); (2) to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors
as defined under Article 2 of the Prospectus Regulation); or (3) in any other circumstances falling
within section 86 of FSMA, provided that no such offer shall require the Company or any other person
to publish a prospectus pursuant to section 85 of FSMA.

Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (FPO); (2) are high net worth entities
falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the FPO; or (3) are such other persons to whom it may otherwise
be lawful to communicate it. Any investment or investment activity constituted by, or related to, such
direct placements will only be available to such persons and will be engaged in only with such persons.
Any other person should not rely on or act upon this announcement in relation to any direct placement
or subscription for New Shares. Any Ineligible Shareholder who participates in any direct placement
of New Shares made by the Company in parallel with the Rights Issue will not be entitled to receive a
pro rata allocation of any premium realised from the sale of Rights to the extent of that participation
because the Rights that would have otherwise been issued to those “placees” will be deemed by the
Company to have lapsed.

A letter setting out further information in relation to these arrangements will be sent to Shareholders
who are not eligible to participate in the Rights Issue on or about 13 October 2022.

This announcement has been approved by the Company’s Disclosure Committee.
