  Ncondezi Coal Company Limited (“Ncondezi” or the “Company”) is an AIM listed company on the London Stock Exchange. The Company’s principal focus is coal exploration, and the Company currently holds 4 licences in the Tete province of Mozambique. The Company’s flagship project, the Ncondezi Project (Licences 804L and 805L), has a classified JORC coal resource of 1.8 billion tonnes. A scoping study completed in April 2010 by international independent technical consultants SRK Consulting (UK) has confirmed the economic viability of a 10 million tonne per annum export thermal coal operation with good potential for coking coal.
  
  Ncondezi Coal is currently anticipating first production in late 2014. On 5 June 2010, Ncondezi Coal successfully raised US$52m to finance a two year work plan that will facilitate completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) on the Ncondezi Project by June 2012. Subject to completion and approval of a DFS, it is the Company’s strategic objective to bring the Ncondezi Project into production, which the Company believes will take a further two years.
