6 Market outlook Thermal coal The first half of 2011 has been challenging with natural disasters affecting both supply and demand. Overall demand in Japan now largely back on track but two stations still not operating. Tightening supply and demand conditions in the second quarter saw China re-enter the market, primarily for Indonesian and lower energy thermal coal. The outlook for the rest of 2011 is steady, with improved Australian supply matching the demand outlook. The thermal coal market is forecast to grow ~3% Semi soft Current steel demand means semi soft is more regularly being linked to the hard coking coal benchmark price. Strong supply from the United States of lower quality coking coals in recent months has impacted the semi soft section of the metallurgical coal market. Premium relationship to hard coking coal is softer. Newcastle exports of metallurgical coal 6 months to June are down 1.67 million tonnes, a 16 percent drop. Coal and Allied shipments were down 13 percent. The expected growth in steel demand over the next few years, especially in Asia, will continue to drive demand growth in semisoft Half year results presentation

7 Relative Australian thermal coal market indices $140 Newcastle relevant thermal coal prices $135 $130 $125 Chart depicts a range of coal indices and statistics ti ti in the Asian region that t vary in price based on coal quality and destination $120 $115 $110 $105 ABS Newcastle is the actual weighted average price out of the port in month of shipment reflecting quality delivered. Price (US$/t) $100 $95 $90 $85 $80 $75 Pricing point of coal tends to lead timing of shipping and realisation by 1 to 12 months.
