Drilling
Geology
Moatize Basin - Productive series Alternating sandstone, siltstones and coal
seams Classed as a thick inter-bedded seam
deposit Andre, Grande Falesia and Intermedia
seams intersected in the south and west only
Further review of these seams warranted Chipanga and Bananeiras seams
historically the prime targets due to thickness and proportion of coking coal

Challenges
Rail and port infrastructure solutions
Project delivery in a rapidly expanding region
Developing and maintaining trust and productive relationships in the community in which we operate
Integrating new information into the planning and development of the project
Stewardship of the Revuboè business
Summary
Start-up clearly subject to delivery of a robust port and rail solution
Feasibility study has been based on Phase 4 resource work, project improving with technical understanding
We have seen a 30% increase in resources with upper seams
Margin ranking and reserves currently being prepared, expect improvements in reserves and overall project economics
Further optimisation of the project and strategy will be completed once regulatory approvals are finalised
Revuboè is a World Class Coking Coal Project
