MAKHADO PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORISATION APPEALED

MC Mining Limited (the "Company") announced on 3 September 2018 (the "Announcement") that the Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism ("LEDET") had approved an amendment to the Makhado hard coking and thermal coal project's ("Makhado") Environmental Authorisation ("EA") for the transport of coal to the Musina rail siding by road rather than rail. As anticipated in the Announcement, the same narrow interest group that unsuccessfully appealed against the original Makhado EA, has appealed LEDET's decision. The appeal results in the suspension of the amendment authorisation and the Company will follow due process to have the appeal dismissed.
