Operational updateMining services
Operational updateOpencast mining services
Megacube:
- Turnaround strategy has delivered early results- Cost base restructuring complete- Profitability from new contract pricing
Benicon:
- Satisfactory overall performance- Capacity is being utilised- Margin pressures, but 2011 price adjustments providing a degree of relief
CCT:
- Performance in line with expectation, andthe growth in ferrochrome demand
JEF Drill & Blast;
- Solid performance on the back of internally generated growth, accounting for approximately50% of the earnings
Operational updateMegacube turnaroundContracts
Repriced and in line with the current market.Reduced client concentration.More focus on mini pit mining operations.
Equipment
Renewed focus on maintenance has improved equipment availability and utilisation.Targeted asset/turnover ratio [1:1] determines equipment deployment levels per contract.
People
Implementation of 24/7 operations which will further increase asset utilisation.

* On care and maintenance
Operational updateExploration drillingDemand for exploration drilling including for PGM’s in SA, has continued to show signs of strengthening.
Exploration activity remains buoyant in the Coal, Gold and Base Metal sectors.
Established bases from which to operate, in northern Mozambique, Botswana, Central Africa, and a growing presence in West Africa.
Improved balance in revenues – Domestic SA, vsrest of Africa.
Operational updateExploration drilling
Political unrest in the Ivory Coast impacted on the year’s performance, but the resumption of drilling operations is scheduled from July.
Opportunity to monetarise the investment in offshore logistics and infrastructure going forward.
Given the current levels of exploration demand –solid, but not overheated – normalised earnings at current levels appear sustainable in the medium term.
Pricing is recovering in line with demand, especially in jurisdictions where political risk is a factor.
Exploration funding remains tight in the wake of the global economic crisis.
Operational updateMobile crane hire
Solid contribution for the year under review.
Remains a leading medium and heavy duty mobile crane hire company in the Mpumalanga region, supported by dedicated rigging expertise.
Demand in the coal mining, construction and infrastructure development sectors (large capital projects: Eskom and mining projects), continues to be strong.
Increased competition, as infrastructure expenditure slowed post 2010.
Outlook is for sustained good earnings for the current year.
Operational updateCoal mining investments
Operational updateNkomati Anthracite [60% stake]
• Performance adversely impacted by the suspension of the Madadeni opencast operation in March 2011.
• Pending the resolution of the regulatory and environmental issues indentified, to recommence the opencast operations, the Mangweni underground operations have been placed on care and maintenance.
• The management of Nkomati, with Sentula’ssupport are working with the relevant authorities to address the outstanding issues, with the intention of bringing the operation back into production during the second half of this financial year.
Operational updateNear development properties and exploration areas
Sentula exploration [South Africa] 100%
• Licensing process for mining rights submitted for the Schoongezicht and Bankfontein properties continues to be advanced.
• Sales – Thermal export, domestic and Eskom products.
Indongo [Zambia] 25%
• Small scale mining license, for the first opencast area of the Mulungwa project, has been awarded.
• EIA process completed.• Robust demand for regional coal supplies.
Exploration areas
• Mabapa [South Africa] 75% stake.• ASENJO [Botswana] 25% stake.• Carbonifera de Changara [Mozambique] 70% stake.

Strategic ReviewSentula, with its strengthened balance sheet and improved liquidity, remains positioned to take advantage of contract mining services opportunities across Southern Africa.
Through Geosearch, Sentula has access to one of the larger exploration drilling companies in Africa.
Sentula has the expertise to identify, develop and manage its own coal resources.
Sustainable growth will be further enhanced by the transaction with Shanduka Resources, as the BBBEE component preserves the Group’s current opportunities, and provides leverage through the provision of services in the development of its own coal assets.
Global demand for resources continues to recover, and Africa remains a source of new supply, driving the demand for exploration drilling expertise across the Continent. The growing Geosearch footprint continues to provide insights and opportunities for the whole Group.
Through the Shanduka Resources transaction, Sentula will be in a unique position, enabling it to reach critical mass as a mid tier producer with meaningful stakes in a balanced portfolio of coal assets, and to unlock the value associated there with.
