Key Highlights

Global export thermal coal costs vary considerably. However thermal coal quality also vary, with low quality
Indonesia coal dominating that first quartile of the curve, while higher quality Australia thermal coal is in the
second half of the curve.

Processing costs make a difference in total FOB cost. Indonesian thermal coal, with its low ash content (below
5%) does not need to be washed, reducing costs by up US$10/t in comparison to Australian and US operations.

Low strip ratios will ensure most operations have low mining costs per tonne. Indeed strip ratios are often the
determinant for whether an export thermal coal deposit is economically feasible. Many high cost thermal coal
mines, have higher strip ratios particularly in Australia.

Rio Tintos exit away from thermal coal is becoming more apparent, once a major producer and key negotiator
in the annual Australian-Japan thermal coal contract. It has significantly reduced its thermal coal operations,
selling Clermont, Bengalla and its Mozambique operations. Its remaining operations are also comparatively
higher cost, putting Rio Tinto in the fourth quartile.

Russian operations have low mine gate costs, but then the transportation costs (often rail) over vast distances to
Far East ports significantly bring up their FOB Costs.
