3 Introduction to Parent Companies Overview GVK s assets are predominately in energy, airports and transportation Revenues are derived primarily from O&M fees, incentives for operating the businesses of subsidiaries, and secondly from the interest income earned out of managing surplus funds through superior financial planning GVK employs over 8,000 people plus another 18,000 staff for its not for profit EMRI business Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd is a diversified Australian energy and resources company, with a strong record of pioneering the economic development of regional Australia In the 1970s, resource exploration commenced in the Galilee Basin, which was considered to be uneconomic due to the lack of associated infrastructure on Australia s east coast. Now, some 30 years later, with more developed rail and port infrastructure coupled with the global demand for coal fired power, there is an exciting opportunity for this area of regional Queensland Power Airports Transport Oil & Gas Mining Urban Hotels Eight Power Projects Gas, Hydro & Thermal 5,106 MW of Power India s Largest Private Airport Operator Mumbai International Airport 30m pax Bangalore International Airport 12m pax India s First 6 Lane Expressway Over 550km of roads under construction / development with plans for Mass Rapid Transit Greenfield port planned (Gujarat 7 deepwater oil & gas blocks in partnership with BHP Billiton Alpha and associated port and rail infrastructure Kevin s Corner and Alpha West deposits Two mines in India Two large-scale integrated developments in urban environments Airport City (Mumbai) and GVK One (Hyderabad) 6 world-class properties and one under construction Total room base of over 1,000 Bioscience Provides a broad spectrum of across the R&D value chain in chemistry, biology and informatics; Source: Factset, Factiva, company presentations 3

5 Reasons why GVK invested in this Project 5

6 Global Cost Curve (2021) The Alpha Coal project is expected to sit on the first quartile of the global thermal coal cost curve (2021). It is expected to be amongst the most cost efficient mines in Australia Note: Global seaborne supply is forecast to be ~1.4Bt in

7 Project Location The thermal coal projects comprise Alpha Coal Project, Kevin s Corner and Alpha West. Alpha is expected to be the first thermal coal project developed in the Galilee Basin. Represents the next generation of independent energy supply. 7

8 GVK Coal Test Pit Successful Test Pit First and only exporter of coal from the Galilee basin to date. 125k ROM mined Coal burning tests undertaken in Korean and Chinese coal fired power stations (2011/12) Validation of geotech parameters and ground water assumptions C and D seam washing yields greater than forecast (~84%) Excellent burn results and coal quality parameters as good or better than projected in the BFS Significant de-risking of the project Depth 16m 43m 52m 8

9 Mine Status Milestones achieved Expected to be the first thermal coal project to commence mining in the Galilee Basin It will rank as one of the largest thermal coal operations in the world and represents the next generation of independent thermal coal supply Alpha Coal Project first coal by Q Kevin s Corner first coal by Q Alpha Coal Project DFS and BFS completed EIS and EPBC approved Native Title negotiated ECI contractors short listed LOIs for 43Mtpa received Kevin s Corner EIS and SEIS submitted Kevin s Corner BFS completed Mining lease expected to be issued soon 9

10 Railway Overview Asset description The railway will comprise initially a new single track, non-electrified, standard gauge, heavy-haul 495 km (mainline) railway Connects the Alpha and Kevin s Corner mines with the Hancock Port Terminal at Abbot Point Initial capacity of 60Mtpa and scalable to 120Mtpa. Duplicated to beyond 250Mtpa 1 in 320 ruling grade (loaded trains) Designed to replicate the efficiencies of the iron ore industry in Western Australia Standard gauge may generate costs savings of ~40% over narrow gauge Rail Rate Unit Standard gauge 1,435 mm 4ft 8.5in No of Wagon per Train 240 Train Length 3,866 m Wagon Payload 106 t Wagon Gross Weight 130 t Axle Load 32.5 t Payload per Train (approx) 25 kt No of Locos per train 3 Rail Length 495 km Train Travel Time (loaded) 10 hrs Train Travel Time (empty) 8.5 hrs No of Passing Loops (@30Mtpa) 5 No of Passing Loops (@60Mtpa) 9 Loco capacity 4,400 hp 3,236 kw No of Trains (@30Mtpa) 4 sets No of Trains (@60Mtpa) 8 sets 10

11 Railway - Status Milestones Achieved Technical Design has been completed for a 60Mtpa from both a construction and operation perspective. Focus is on earthworks and geotechnical (completed by June 2012) which will be undertaken in the Early Contractor Involvement phase (which precedes the final EPC bid in February 2013) and Financial Close. Advanced Approvals The Co-ordinator General s Report was issued on 29 May which was subsequently ratified by the Federal Government. This is a major approval milestone for the rail. The rail corridor alignment was endorsed as the preferred South to North corridor by the Queensland State Government on 6 June The Mine & Rail were also granted approval under the EPBC Act by the Federal Government on 23 August Rail Corridor Land More than two thirds of the rail corridor (by chainage) has commercial arrangements/agreements in place. Construction - Two contract consortia short listed. Infrastructure Operators Shortlisted we have an established short list for above and below rail operators. Operational modeling - has been completed and includes modeling for short listed third party rail haulage customers. RIM accreditation has been granted under the Transport (Rail Safety) Act 2010 (Qld). Rollingstock Locomotive and coal wagon sourcing being progressed. McKinsey we have retained McKinsey to review opex and capex savings across the construction and operation of the railway. Third party access - GVK Hancock and QCoal entered into a Memorandum of Understanding for approximately 20Mtpa to be hauled on the rail infrastructure 11
