RESOURCE GENERATION LIMITED 
By ACN 059 950 337
Quarterly Report for the three months ended 31 March 2014Resource Generation is developing its Boikarabelo coal mine in the Waterberg region of South Africa, which accounts for 40% of the country's remaining coal resources. There are probable reserves of 744.8* million tonnes of coal on 35% of the tenements under the company's control (refer ASX announcement dated 16 December 2010). Stage 1 of the mine development targets saleable coal production of 6 million tonnes per annum.
Boikarabelo mine construction
Construction of the mine's infrastructure continued during the quarter, with 260 personnel already working on the site. The 200-person construction camp is close to completion, and earthworks to expand the camp to accommodate 1,320 people have been finished.
Earthworks for the 40 kilometre rail link from the mine to the existing Transnet Freight Rail network have begun and will continue into 2015. Initial rail and sleepers have been delivered. Other projects in progress are earthworks for the coal handling and preparation plant, upgrading of the current access road, construction of the main mine access road, a provincial road bypass and road underpasses for the water pipeline from Marapong.
All regulatory consents have been received, all necessary land has been acquired and rail haulage and port access contracts sufficient for the mine's stage 1 production have been signed. Social and labour plan projects are progressing in local communities.
Construction is expected to take a further 21 months and, subject to finalisation of funding agreements by June 2013, production is due to begin in December 2015.

Earthworks for the rail link
Finalising funding
Negotiations on term sheets for project finance to complete the mine are now in their final stages, and negotiations are also underway with three parties to fund the mobile equipment that will be required in August 2015.
Binding term sheets are in place with Noble Group for a US$65 million loan for construction of infrastructure and a US$55.3 million loan for construction of the rail link. US$20 million was drawn down from the rail link loan during the quarter.
EKF, the Danish state-owned export credit agency is undertaking due diligence regarding a guarantee for approximately 50% of the cost of constructing the coal handling and preparation plant, for which a binding term sheet has been received from FLSmidth Roymec (Pty) Limited.
Three long-term export offtake contracts have been entered into with CESC, Valu Investments and Noble Group. These contracts underwrite most of the forecast revenue from Boikarabelo's stage 1 production and a substantial portion of stage 2 production.
A domestic offtake contract for 3.0 million tonnes per annum of middlings coal has been entered into with Noble Group for the first eight years of production.
The coal mining rights and exploration tenements held at the end of the quarter were as follows:
South Africa (Waterberg)
MPT15/2012 MR (74%)
PR720/2007 (74%)
PR678/2007 (74%)
The company has no interest in farm-in or farm-out agreements.
