Re: 2nd Quarter Cashflow

Anglo Pacific Group PLC 30 July 2004 30th July 2004 ANGLO PACIFIC GROUP PLC REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 30th JUNE 2004 For clarification purposes it should be emphasized that the following figures report the cash received during the three months ended 30th June 2004 which relate to the royalties earned and accrued in the previous quarter ended 31st March 2004. 1. Gordon Resources Limited - Coalmine Royalty Entitlements - Queensland (a) Kestrel (Rio Tinto) The royalty received for the quarter to 31st March 2004 was A$929,606 compared to A$182,009 for the previous quarter. (b) Crinum (BHP Billiton) The royalty received for the quarter to 31st March 2004 was A$1,133,593 compared to A$1,600,810 for the previous quarter. Output was lower due to the changeover of longwall equipment and delays due to minor roof faults. As indicated in the 2003 Annual Report, the Company's royalties for the remainder of 2004 are expected to increase as production continues to move to the Company's Private Ground from Crown Land. The Company remains optimistic about the prospects for steaming and coking coal prices for the next six months and into 2005 when both the Kestrel and Crinum royalties should benefit substantially from higher world prices. Demand for both coking and steaming coal continues to be strong. Indications for the second quarter royalties are good as contractual price changes normally commence in April each year. 2. Mining Projects • The Company continues to advance its other private coal and coal energy interests in British Columbia where the background for the development of these projects has much improved over the last six months. • In Australia the Company have been approached to participate with strategic partners in other coal projects. These are in addition to the Company's interests at Kestrel and Crinum. Negotiations are continuing. • In an Alto news release dated 15th July 2004, it was announced that Anglo Pacific had disposed of its 50% interest in the Oxford Lake gold property in exchange for a 19% interest in Alto Ventures Limited. This Company trades on the Canadian TSX Venture Exchange, symbol ATV. Anglo Pacific has confidence in this investment which is reflected in the accounts at minimal cost.
