Executive Summary
PT. Ratu Samban Mining (RSM) is an established thermal coal producer located in the Province of
Bengkulu; Sumatera; Republic of Indonesia. RSM holds the license to exploit seven coal concessions
(also referred to as Blocks), with total area of 11,920 ha, situated in the foot hills of Bukit Barisan
(mountains) which lie to the northeast. The concessions are close to the provincial capital Bengkulu.
The concessions collectively have extensive Coal Resources based on geological data which conforms to
the *JORC Code. To date 40% of the combined area of all Blocks has been explored and 92 Mt of Coal
Resources have been delineated. The coal is continuous and presented throughout the region and sub-
crops in the RSM concessions.
Extensive exploration has been conducted in the concessions initially coal outcrop and stream traverse
mapping and drilling; over 200,000 metres has been drilled in prospective locations. Further exploration
using more advanced techniques has enabled RSM to define a significant resource of premium thermal
coal. Subsequent exploration work has identified the potential for the discovery of metallurgical grade coal.
The Coal Resources amount to some 27 million tonnes and 65 million tonnes for open-pit and underground
mining respectively, comprising measured, indicated and inferred resources.
The Bengkulu region is located in the Forearc Basin of Sumatera which is subject to movement of the
tectonic plates causing earthquakes and uplift of Bukit Barisan. This uplift, has moved the deep high grade
coal closer to the surface and has also caused significant faulting of the sub-terrain structure and coal
deposit. For this reason the mining operation targets shallower thicker coal in multiple pits as opposed to
normal strip mining.
RSM has been in operation for a number of years and has extracted in excess of one million tonnes of
quality high ranking thermal coal using open-pit mining methods. Mining operations ceased for non-
technical reasons and RSM is currently preparing to recommence mining operations under different
management.
RSM plans to recommence coal mining operations. Initially continuing to use open pit mining methods and
simultaneously prepare for mining using underground mining methods. RSM has established a
development plan and implementation strategy to bring the pits back into production commencing 2014.
In preparation to recommence open pit production, all infrastructure is still in place and operational,
including; roads, stockpile, offices, camp (fully equipped and functional, with capacity to accommodate
more than 200 staff), workshop (including support equipment), port stockpile and crushing facilities. There
remains a full complement of skilled staff in Bengkulu, so that with the exception of some minor road repair,
due to water erosion and pumping of water ingress from the operational pits, start-up of production can be
achieved very expediently.
The over burden and coal is removed using conventional truck and shovel mining methods. The coal is
transported to the run-of-mine stockpile located within the Blocks. From there the coal is loaded into on-
highway trucks for transportation on public roads to RSMs Pulau Baai port stockpile which is located close
to Bengkulu (city). There it is crushed and sized and either stockpiled or directly transported 2 km to the
Government operated Pelindo coal terminal for direct loading into vessels for shipment to the final
customer.
RSM has produced and sold in excess of one million tonnes of coal marketed as Barisan Coal. Barisan
coal has attained a reputation of being a high ranking thermal coal which attracts a premium price. Barisan
Coal is well accepted in the market place and in particular Japan.
1|P A G E
PT. RATU SAMBAN MINING July 1, 2014
Although the market for thermal coal is currently challenging, RSMs return on investment remains robust.
This is in part due to the premium above market sales price RSM receives for the high quality coal
produced, proximity of the mine to the coal loading port and proximity of the Bengkulu Region to Asian
customers.
The current business plan is for 6.5 Mt of surface mining over a 12 year mine life with an annual production
rate of 600,000 tonnes per year, this returns a Net Profit in excess of USD 110 million. The business plan is
conservative as the Coal Resources delineated to date are sufficient to increase the production rate or
alternatively life of mine. Operating costs used in the plan are in line with that currently achieved in the
Bengkulu Region and coal price used is based on the price historically achieved by RSM for this high
ranking coal product.
The current business plan also includes 2.0 Mt of underground mining over a 13 year mine life with an
annual production rate of 200,000 tonnes per year, this returns a Net Profit in excess of USD 45 million.
The business plan is conservative as the Coal Resources delineated to date are sufficient to increase the
production rate or alternatively life of mine. Investment and operating costs are based on a pre-feasibility
study conducted on behalf of RSM in Block 2 & 3, by Coal Resources & Mining Engineering Co. Ltd. of
Japan. As this is an initial underground mine with small production volume, Investment is comparatively
high and equipment is underutilized. However, the business plan still returns a reasonable profit,
suggesting that a higher full scale underground mining operation will be very economically as can be seen
in the attachment; Sensitivities Underground Mining.
To date 40% of the combined area of all Blocks has been explored and 92 Mt of Coal Resources have
been delineated. Resources delineated, within the 40%, that are not included in the surface mining and
underground mining business plans have been valued at a nominal price per tonne of coal in the ground.
The Enterprise Value of RSM has been determined at USD 95 million based on current coal price and
operating costs.
*JORC: (the JORC Code) is the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.

1.4 Location
Bengkulu Province is located on the southwest coast of Sumatera and situated on the western side of Bukit
Barisan. The Province covers an area of approximately 21,100 km and borders the provinces of West
Sumatera, Jambi, South Sumatera and Lampung. The capital and largest city is Kota Bengkulu.

The Bengkulu Basin is located in the southeast part of Sumatera, covering areas both onshore and
offshore. In general, it trends parallel to Sumatera and is about 600 kms in length and 150 - 200 kms wide.
To the north and northeast lies Bukit Barisan, while in the south and southwest it is bounded by islands or
the slope break of the Sunda Arc Trench System. It is part of the Forearc Basin associated with the
collision of the Indian Ocean Plate and the Eurasian Plate. Coal deposition in the Lemau Formation
occurred during the Middle Miocene age (approximately 15 million years ago) and coal seams up to 6m
thick were deposited. Igneous activity occurred at the time of coal accumulation and also in the late
Pliocene age (approximately 1 million years ago). This was in response to the Bukit Barisan uplift and
tectonism related to the continuation and development of plate collision and subduction at the plate
boundary.

PT. RATU SAMBAN MINING July 1, 2014
Regional structures in the Bengkulu Basin fall into two main categories; northwest trending structures that
define the east and west basin boundaries and the northeast trending structures that divide the Bengkulu
Basin into a series of structural blocks. The northeast trending structures are fundamental to understanding
the geology of the Bengkulu Basin and the coal deposits distribution and structure appear to be controlled
by these northeast trending faults.
Block 2 & 3 and the northern part of Block 9 have been uplifted and as a result the coal deposits are
relatively close to the surface. Block 9 south is part of a dome structure surrounding the Bukit Sunur
intrusion, where the Lemau Formation sediments are uplifted and draped around the base of the intrusive
body.
Blocks 6 and 7 appear to be in a much broader structural location, remote from the Barisan uplift and as a
result these deposits in these Blocks appear to be less structurally disturbed and more laterally persistent.
There are several braided streams flowing from northeast to southwest in the Bengkulu Basin, the upper
reaches of three of these cross Blocks 2 and 3; the Susup, Kotok and Lemau rivers. Similarly, braided
steams cross Block 6; the Palik and in Block 9; the Bengkulu (river).

The magnetometer survey gives surveyors an insight into what lies beneath the surface and identify coal
bearing formations. It has assisted in determining map basin shape at a regional scale and has provided
them with further confidence of the existence of substantial coal deposits in RSMs concessions.

PT. RATU SAMBAN MINING July 1, 2014
Extensive exploration has been conducted in all RSMs Blocks. As production commenced in Blocks 2 & 3
the exploration activity has concentrated in these Blocks. To date 40% of the combined area of all Blocks
has been explored and 92 Mt of Coal Resources have been delineated.

Block 9 has potential for a large increase in Coal Resources with additional exploration and drilling. The
geological target for additional Coal Resources in this Block is estimated at 5 to 20 million tonnes. Although
this is the considered opinion of the consulting geologist, it cannot at this stage be included in the Coal
Resource statement.

Mine design has incorporated realistic assumptions for mining losses, coal dilution and re-handle in the pit
as set out in the table below to ensure that mining cost do not exceed the plan. Floor dilution of 2% has
been added back into the coal and product quality adjusted accordingly.
Following on from actual mining for a number of years, RSM conducted a review of the coal extracted and
over burden removed from the operational pits and compared that to the geological input data used in the
original design of the mining pit. The result was that actual material movement was as per the original
design, thus confirming the geological model that was used.
The results for this comparison is shown in the appendices.

More recently RSM has studied the potential and feasibility of underground coal mining in each of the 6
Blocks. The study for the initial underground mine has been narrowed down to the conjunction of Block 3
east and Block 2 west. There is a higher level of confidence in the geological data and modelling of the
Coal Resource in Blocks 2/3 as compared to the other Blocks. Blocks 2/3 have adequate Coal Resources
for an initial mine. The target main seam S3 is suitable for underground mining as it is consistently thicker
than 2.5m and the seam dip is less than 15 degrees. As surface mining is completed, development of the
underground mine will commence with the portal and main road leading in through the coal seam in the
mined-out pit high-wall. Blocks 2/3 are close to RSMs existing infrastructure, negating the need to
construct additional camp and support facilities.
Block 6 & 7 have potential for underground mining as the Coal Resource is very large and the indication is
that the coal also has potential to be metallurgical quality, but due to insufficient geological data to develop
a model, this will require additional drilling and further geological investigation to confirm the underground
mining potential. Similarly, Block 9 has potential for underground mining and with additional exploration, will
become a major underground mining operation.
Underground mining is not uncommon in the Bengkulu Region, as there are several companies close to the
RSMs Block 9 concession that have been mining coal underground very successfully for many years.
The study into underground mining commenced with a number of preliminary studies and finally with a
study into The Potential of Developing an Underground Mine in RSM Concessions by; Coal Resources &
Mining Engineering Co. Ltd. of Japan (CR & ME) and a Pre-Feasibility Study on Underground Mining
Potential also by CR & ME. Note: These documents can be sighted in RSMs Data Room.
The underground mining method described below is based on the work done by CR & ME. The RSM
Summary Business Plan uses the costing established by CR & ME for the underground mining operations
up to the ROM stockpile.
As further exploration work is completed in Blocks 6, 7 and 9 confirming the geology in these Blocks,
underground mining can be considered on a large scale. In which case substantial investment can be
justified with the higher production rates and a long mine life. In this case, main underground roads will be
excavated in rock allowing for easy road maintenance and the use of high productivity continuous mining
equipment with a resultant lower production cost profile.
For the initial underground mine, Blocks 2/3 has sufficient Coal Reserves that meet the criteria for
underground mining. Planning is for total coal extracted of 2 Mt, with an annual production rate of ~180 kt/y
25 | P A G E
PT. RATU SAMBAN MINING July 1, 2014
and life-of-mine of 13 years. The main road leading in from the high-wall portals will be excavated in the
coal seam so that production can commence during the development period thereby reducing development
costs and development time.

PT. RATU SAMBAN MINING July 1, 2014
Coal production of the long-wall face is based on hydraulic prop recovery rate. With the relatively soft under
foot conditions in Blocks 2/3, it is estimated that one long wall panel can achieve 340 t/d using a continuous
roster of 3 shifts per day. Based on 300 working days per year, the annual production rate is ~ 100 kt/y for
one long-wall. Two long-wall faces are planned for this initial 2 wing panel mining operation with a
combined annual production rate of ~ 200 kt per year.
Transportation of rock out of the mine and materials into the mine will be by battery locomotive on the
horizontal road while on the inclines an endless winch system is installed at the gates.
The initial underground mining plan strategy is to confirm the methodology and economics of underground
mining in RSMs concessions. For this reason, production rate planned is very low at 30tph and the result
of this is a very high disproportionate investment cost due to underutilization of installed plant and
equipment. Irrespective of this, the initial underground mining plan returns a profit.
Underground Coal Resources delineated to date of 64.6 Mt, with only 40 percent of the RSMs combined
concession area explored. With additional infill drilling, RSM has the potential to expand the underground
mining operations by mining multiple Blocks (6, 7 & 9), cutting roads in rock, deploying mechanized
shearers and operating more long-wall faces in each mine. This will then fully utilize below ground
infrastructure, including incline and road transportation systems and above ground coal handling facilities
and will result in a significant reduction in investment and operating cost per tonne of coal produced. Using
mechanized shearers the coal will be mined clean and not require washing, further reducing operating
costs.

PT. RATU SAMBAN MINING July 1, 2014
The regional geology and exploration has confirmed that coal seams are presented throughout the region
and in all RSMs concessions. With 40% of the Blocks explored Coal Resources delineated to-date in the
total area of all RSM concessions held in Bengkulu is 92 Mt. With additional exploration in the 60% area
remaining, there is potential for additional Coal Resources to be discovered.
For the purpose of this document RSM has not placed a value on this potential.
30 | P A G E
PT. RATU SAMBAN MINING July 1, 2014
RSM recognizes the need to create an attractive working environment in order to start, maintain and
expand its operation in the remote location of Bengkulu. Supporting infrastructure is in place for Blocks 2 &
3 and as mining progresses, additional infrastructure will be completed in the other Blocks to the same
standard as currently exist in Block 2 & 3. Funds for this and other services including roads have been
included in the business model.
RSM has retained a core of some 40 plus experienced senior and essential mining staff in Bengkulu, who
are on standby ready to recommence the coal mining operation from coal face to ship loading. Other
employees will be recruited to perform the work requiring lesser skills and these include; civil work, security,
messing and housekeeping, office work and the like. The Company will encourage people living in the area
to form Korperasis to perform this work thus assisting the local communities and also help them to become
self-reliant, which is in-line with RSMs mission statement.
All the major activities of the coal mining operations will be performed using contractors. All things being
equal, local contractors will have first preference. In the event that a specialized activity requires a
contractor that is not local, they will be encouraged to hire workers from the local communities surrounding
RSMs sphere of operations.
Set out below the organization structure for RSMs Bengkulu operations depicting the core staff currently on
Standby.

8.2 Environmental
The Company takes its social responsibility seriously and is committed to return the environment back to its
original state when mining is complete. Procedures, systems, and a program of regular monitoring are in
place to ensure that pollutants are controlled and maintained within acceptable levels. Rehabilitation is
carried out on a regular basis and scheduled into the mining plans. Reporting requirements to government
are according to the prevailing regulations.
8.4 Safety
The Company will adopt its safety, health and loss control (SH&LC) to the well-established International
standards, such as NOSA (National Occupational Safety Association) or OHSAS 18000 (international
occupational health and safety management system).

9. Market Outlook
9.1 Thermal Coal Market Demand
Sumatera has 52.5 billion tonnes of coal resources, the largest estimated potential of coal resources in
Indonesia, but currently accounts for less than 10% of annual coal production. Sumatera provides an
untapped coal resource with huge potential for the future.
Seaborne demand for thermal coal is forecast by Wood Mackenzie to grow to 1 billion tonnes by 2020,
increasing by 350 million tonnes (Mt) from 2010. In 2020 the Pacific trade is expected to reach 800 Mt with
Japan, China, India and South Korea the largest importers. In line with demand growth. Asia Pacific
suppliers, primarily Indonesia and Australia, will increase their dominance of seaborne coal supply. The
high grade thermal Coal Resource from the Bengkulu Region places RSM in a unique position to tap into
this growing market.

11. Financial
This chapter summarizes all the inputs and the financial results of RSMs Business Plan. It is shown in 3
sections; Surface Mining (11.1), Underground Mining (11.2) and Recoverable Resources (11.3). Finally the
Enterprise value of RSM is summarized in Section (11.4).
Notes: Capital investment is minimal as infrastructure and some plant and equipment is still on RSM asset register. There is a
requirement to repair existing concession roads and build additional roads and infrastructure in Block 6.
37 | P A G E
PT. RATU SAMBAN MINING July 1, 2014
Notes: Unit costs are what RSM believes is achievable in consideration the TOP Group operates similar mining operations in
Indonesia. Escalation, sales penalties are set at zero for the base Business Plan but are shown in the sensitivity analysis.
Notes: The Business Plan assumes 100% equity for all Investment with a discount rate of 10%.The discount is calculated based
on the capital asset pricing model which is based on; (i) risk free rate + Beta (volatility) + equity market risk premium.
38 | P A G E
PT. RATU SAMBAN MINING July 1, 2014
Notes: The Business Plan assumes (i) 100% equity for all capital Investment; the discount rate is zero, although in the sensitivity
analysis a discount factor is applied.
Notes: As the underground mining plan is an initial mine for RSM, it is based on very small production volumes with a resultant
disproportionate high capital outlay. VAT is shown as zero as this has already been included in each of the investment
categories. The sensitivity analysis demonstrates the full economic potential for the underground mining using a higher
production rate, thereby defraying the capital outlay.
