There were no significant changes in the nature ofthe activities of the Group during the financial year.OverviewDuring the year ended 30 June 2014 the Group continued its program ofestablishing itself as a successful thermal coal mining, production,exploration and development Group in Southern Africa focusing on the ramp up ofits flagship Penumbra Coal Mine and advancing the De Wittekrans coal projectwith the granting of its mining right in September 2013.Reserve and Resource StatementThe Group's Coal Resource and Reserve Statements are as follows:Group Resources Statement - July 2014    PROJECT       RESOURCE   PROJECT GROSS TOTAL PROJECT      CONTINENTAL'S                  CATEGORY      TONNES        TONNES           ATTRIBUTABLE                                IN SITU       IN SITU            INTEREST                              (GTIS) (t)    (TTIS) (t)Vlakvarkfontein   Measured       8,703,480     6,803,316           44%Penumbra                         8,421,911     7,134,875           74%De Wittekrans                   52,330,387    47,097,100           74%Wesselton II                     4,201,199     3,570,800           74%Leiden                           4,309,133     3,862,500           74%              Total Measured    77,966,110    68,468,591Vlakplaats       Indicated      38,176,346    34,258,000           37%Project X                        2,969,951     2,672,000           56%Penumbra                         6,725,373     6,052,000           74%De Wittekrans                   73,733,941    66,358,000           74%Vaalbank                         8,809,511     7,928,000           52%Wesselton II                     5,112,340     4,344,000           74%Leiden                           1,996,754       179,500           74%             Total Indicated   137,524,216   121,791,500Vlakplaats        Inferred      16,276,680    12,190,000           37%Wolvenfontein                   36,725,119    31,200,000           74%Project X                       11,687,034    10,517,000           56%De Wittekrans                   66,618,671    59,940,000           74%Knapdaar                        42,064,528    35,750,000           74%Vaalbank                        13,937,555    12,540,000           52%Wesselton II                     8,648,522     7,330,000           74%Mooifontein                      3,092,970     2,620,000           74%Leiden                          12,057,828    10,851,400           74%Kweneng (1)                      2,159,000     2,051,050          100%              Total Inferred   213,267,907   184,989,450       GRAND TOTAL RESOURCES   428,758,233   375,249,541Notes: 1. JORC compliant.These coal resources and coal reserves (excluding Kweneng) have been defined inaccordance with the 2007 South African Code for Reporting of Mineral Resourcesand Mineral Reserves Code (SAMREC Code). The SAMREC Code requires the use ofthe South African National Standard : South African Guide to the SystematicEvaluation of Coal Resources and Coal Reserves (SANS10320:2004) whenclassifying and reporting coal resources and reserves. SANS10320:2004 uses theprinciple of relative distances from boreholes with quality data for theclassification of coal resources. This standard was utilised by the Company'sconsultants in calculating the project resources.The above coal resource and coal reserve estimates are also in compliance withand to the extent required by the 2012 Australasian Code for Reporting ofExploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves published by the JointOre Reserves Committee of The Australasian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy,Australian Institute of Geoscientists and Minerals Council of Australia (JORCCode). Similarly to the SAMREC Code, the JORC Code uses the principle ofrelative distances from boreholes with quality data for the classification ofcoal resources. The SAMREC Code distances are narrower than those required bythe JORC Code, and hence, by reporting to SAMREC, the requirements of the JORCCode have also been metCoal Mine and Processing OperationsHealth and SafetyThe Group maintains a strong health and safety culture across all of its coalmining and processing operations and continues to improve its health and safetyinitiatives and policies across all of its operations. During the financialyear, eleven Dressing Station Case ("DSC") accidents were reported at theCompany's mining and processing operations - ten DSC accidents were reported atthe Penumbra Underground Mine and one at the Vlakvarkfontein Open Cast Mine andone Medical Treatment Incident (MTI) was reported at the Penumbra UndergroundMine. All the accidents were relatively minor with no material impacts andtheir causes have been addressed.Operational Performance                                         Year ended 30 June     Year ended 30 June                                                2014                    2013Run of Mine (ROM)ProductionVlakvarkfontein                              1,382,487                1,526,469Ferreira                                       247,129                  559,107Penumbra                                       498,176                  143,299Total ROM Production                         2,127,792                2,228,875Feed to PlantFerreira                                       269,670                  627,329Penumbra                                       491,424                  143,299Total Plant Feed                               761,094                  770,628Export YieldsFerreira                                           72%                    70.4%Penumbra                                         57.2%                    36.8%Domestic Sales                               1,401,080                1,315,701Export Sales                                   523,906                  453,582Total Coal Sales                             1,924,986                1,769,283Total ROM coal production for the year ended 30 June 2014 of 2,127,792t wasachieved with a full 12 months production at the Vlakvarkfontein Coal Mine, 6months production at the Ferreira Coal Mine until end of life and ramp upproduction from the Penumbra Coal Mine.Feed to the Delta Processing Operations for the year ended 30 June 2014 was761,094t. The feed from the Penumbra Coal Mine has steadily increased duringthe year and is line with the ramp up of the Penumbra Coal Mine.Export yields at the Penumbra Coal Mine have shown a steady increase during thepast 12 months with the average yield of 57.2% recorded for the ended 30 June2014.Domestic sales from the Vlakvarfontein Coal Mine have increased on a year-endbasis comparable to year ended 30 June 2013. 1. Vlakvarkfontein Coal MineVlakvarkfontein Coal Mine produced 1,382,487t ROM for the year ended 30 June2014, achieving its target production at a cost of ZAR 90.00/t (US$8.50/t) theyear ended 30 June 2014.An average strip ratio of 2.22:1 was achieved for the year ended 30 June 2014.Total thermal coal sales for the year ended 30 June 2014 were 1,149,216t toEskom and 251,861t non-select. 2. Ferreira Coal MineFerreira Coal Mine produced 247,129t ROM for the year ended June 2014, beforeits end of life in December 2013, with export yields averaging 72%.Inventory clean-up at the Ferreira Coal Mine was completed in the first Quarterof 2014. The rehabilitation work will commence upon finalisation of the closureplan and appointing contractors. 3. Penumbra Coal MineThe Penumbra Coal Mine delivered 498,176t ROM for the year ended 30 June 2014comparable to the revised forecast of 500,000t at a FOB cost of ZAR 841.13(US$79.40) per sales tonne.During the initial ramp up stage the Company encountered stone rolls that aredisplacing the coal seam in the current mining area and this is impacting onthe production rate and the delivered yield due to added contamination.Management, in conjunction with mining consultants, have been reviewing theplanned production lay-out in order to mitigate the impact of the stone rollson the production rate of the continuous miners. As procedures are implementedthe ROM and yield are increasing with the month of June 2014 producing 58,013twhich is on track to the targeted 70,000t per month. Additional explorationdrilling is currently being carried out to ascertain the extent of the stonerolls with the view to revising the production plan.Export yields at the Penumbra Coal Mine averaged 57.2% for the year ended 30June 2014. The yield is expected to improve to the planned 62% with theincrease in production and the mitigation of the additional contaminationcaused by the stone rolls.For the year ended 30 June 2014 ROM mining costs averaged ZAR 165.95/t(US$15.50/t) and FOB export sales tonnes costs averaged ZAR 748.24/t (US$70.35/t). Total FOB costs will reduce in the coming months given the forecastincrease in production.The Company received ZAR 10.1 million revenue for the year ended 30 June 2014from the ABSA forward hedging contract at the Penumbra Coal Mine. 2. DEVELOPMENT PROJECT 3.     1. De Wittekrans Coal ProjectThe De Wittekrans Development Project (De Wittekrans) is a potentialunderground export and domestic thermal coal mining project at apre-development stage. Optimisation work on previous feasibility studies hasidentified the opportunity to develop De Wittekrans into a major miningoperation with the potential to produce ~3.6Mtpa of ROM over the LOM.A mining right was granted in September 2013 and the Integrated Water UseLicense (IWUL) application was submitted, the Company awaits approval.With mining right successfully executed in May 2014, the Company now has 12months to commence mining operations, however should the IWUL not be receivedwithin this 12 month period the mining right can be delayed.During the last quarter of the year ended 30 June 2014 two sites were selectedfor mining and these are now being evaluated as to which site will be selectedfor the first phase of mining. 3. EXPLORATION PROJECTS 4.     1. Botswana Coal ProjectsThe Company is in advanced discussions in respect of the two remainingProspecting licenses (PL 340/2008 and PL 341/2008). PL341 has been transferredand the transfer documents for PL340 have been submitted to the BotswanaMinistry of Minerals, Energy. 2. VlakplaatsVlakplaats is a 50:13:36 joint venture between the Company, Big Match Trading34 (Pty) Ltd and Korea Resources Corporation. Therefore the Company only has aneffective interest of 37% in the project. A Prospecting Right has been grantedfor this project.Vlakplaats is considered a non-core asset and the Company will retain theProspecting Right in good standing while it evaluates divestment opportunities. 3. Other non-core assetsProject X, Vaalbank, Leiden.Knapdaar, Wolvenfontein, Wesselton II,Mooifonteinhave all been considered as non-core assets which the Company will keep in goodstanding order while it evaluates divestment opportunities 4.

During the year ended 30 June 2014, the EDF coal prepayment facility was    restructured into a financial loan repayable through 24 monthly instalments    commencing in July 2014. The loan bears interest at 10% per annum and    interest will be capitalised until June 2014. Executing binding legal    agreements for this restructure are dependent on the recapitalisation of    the Group and EDF being provided a second ranking security over the    Penumbra underground coal mine and its assets. EDF has retained its    security over the Group's South African mining interests (apart from    Penumbra). j. Related party borrowings of $22,698,000 relate to ZAR 140,000,000 received    from SIOC-cdt, the Group's South African BEE partner during the 2012    financial year, and ZAR 75,000,000 transferred from the Group's inter-Group    loan to SIOC-cdt during the 2012. The loan is repayable (pro-rata with the    inter-company loan payable to the parent entity) as and when the Group has    the necessary cash available having regard to the foreseeable cash flow    requirements of the Group with reference to its budgeted expenditure    requirements. In effect, the SIOC financing (26%) can not be paid until pro    rata distributions are also repaid to the parent entity (74%).Note 16: Borrowings (cont'd) k. On 14 February 2014, the Group executed a binding term sheet with UK    corporate advisory firm Empire Equity Limited ("Empire Equity") to provide    $5 million bridge funding and undertake a broader recapitalisation and    restructure of the Group and its financial arrangements. The Group received    the $5 million bridge funding from Empire Equity and made key payments to    current creditors. Empire Equity and/or its nominees (the "Investors") have    invested in 7.5 million unsecured convertible promissory notes ("Notes")    with a face value of A$1.00 at a discounted issue price of A$0.6667 per    Note and with a maturity date of 4 months redeemable upon successful    completion of the Groups recapitalization. The Investors will receive a 6%    fee on the Investment Amount as well as 70 million options, subject to    shareholder approval, for providing the $5 million. Refer to details of    standstill arrangements below.Standstill arrangementsOn 10 February 2014 the Company negotiated a 90 day standstill period,subsequently extended to 15 October 2014, with these parties and certain tradeand other creditors of the Company. The Company must meet the specifiedrecapitalisation milestones to ensure the standstill arrangements are in placeduring the standstill term.Note 17: Other Financial LiabilitiesDuring a previous financial year, the Group recorded a royalty liability inrelation to a USD $1 per tonne royalty payable on all coal produced by theGroup's South African mining operations, capped at 15,000,000 tonnes.The royalty is payable based on coal produced attributable to the parentcompany, therefore the royalty is only payable on 74% of total coal producedbased on the parent company's shareholding in Continental Coal Ltd SouthAfrica.The royalty arises from a financing arrangement entered into in a priorfinancial year. Accordingly, the expense in relation to the royalty of$4,419,458 (2013: $3,639,000) is considered to be a financing cost and isincluded within financing expenses in the Consolidated Income Statement.

South African mining companies arerequired by law to undertake rehabilitation work as part of their ongoingoperations. The expected timing of the cash outflows in respect of theprovision is on the closure of the mining operations.

Segment assets include all assets used by a segment andconsist principally of cash, receivables, plant and equipment and explorationand development expenditure. While most such assets can be directly attributedto individual segments, the carrying amount of certain assets used jointly bytwo or more segments is allocated to the segments on a reasonable basis.Segment liabilities consist principally of payables, employee benefits, accruedexpenses, provisions and borrowings. Segment assets and liabilities do notinclude deferred income taxes.Intersegment TransfersSegment revenues, expenses and results include transfers between segments. Theprices charged on intersegment transactions are the same as those charged forsimilar goods to parties outside of the economic entity at an arms' length.These transfers are eliminated on consolidation.Compliance Statement:1.
