India Pakistan South Korea Netherlands Other Significant coal reserves in neighbouring Botswana – strengthening Regional growth potential

Botswana Institute for Development Policy Analysis (BIPDA) : The Coal Industry and the Future of Botswana 2012 . Botswana has considerable coal deposits, one of the largest untapped potential reserves in the world at over 212 billion tonnes, 77% of which remains in the ‘hypothetical’ and ‘speculative’ categories. . It has been estimated that as much. as two thirds of Africa’s coal resource is found in Botswana . Four commercially significant coal deposits at Morupule, Mmamabula, Sese and Mmamantswe on the eastern edge of the Central Kalahari Karoo Basin have been explored to a point where it is possible to conclude that an export industry of at least 36Mt/a growing to as much as 90Mt/a is possible.

Transnet’s mandate, vision, and mission • Assist in lowering the cost of doing business in South Africa, enabling economic growth and ensuring security of supply through providing appropriate (port, rail and pipeline) Mandate infrastructure in a cost-effective and efficient manner • Strategic objectives are aligned with national plans and the SSI

• Fuelling Africa’s growth and development as the leading provider of Vision innovative supply chain solutions.

Mission • Linking economies; connecting people; growing Africa!

Public value creation • SOEs have to balance economic, social and other objectives by remaining financially sustainable, while creating value for citizens and society • The “Inclusive wealth” of a country includes the sum of three kinds of assets: - manufactured capital (e.g. roads, machinery, buildings) - human capital (people’s health and skills) - natural capital (e.g. forests and fossil fuels) • Creating public value is linked to Transnet’s mandate In response, Transnet is actively refreshing its brand as it moves into new markets, expanding its service offering, and redefining its market position

2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 SA Coal Logistics Challenges and Opportunities

 Impact of the Green Economy  The future of coal remains uncertain - New energy sources being explored and gaining momentum  Low investor interest towards new coal mining and coal power generation  Tedious process and onerous requirements to be met for new mining activities  Lack of credible future coal demand and commitment from market (investment certainty; return on investment)  High cost of shipping - Regulation from International Maritime Organisation (IMO)  Coal Sourcing points moving away from traditional coal fields towards north (Infrastructure, Turn Around Times, utilization rate, etc.)  Lack of infrastructure and investment connecting coal deposits and the port  Low coal production; Lack of rapid loading facilities; Railing to stockpile (no vessel nomination)  Cable theft; vandalism of rail infrastructure; Inclement weather impact sometimes leading to port closures  Overvaal tunnel remains a constraint  Competition between domestic and export coal prices (power generation becoming expensive)  Only 10 vs 40 mil Tons of rail friendly coal for power stations, actually moves by rail per annum  Policy certainty could enhance attractiveness to industry players  Optimization, synchronization of capacity within SA coal value chains (coal production, rail, RBCT, Port Terminal and Marine capacity) New Developments: Capacity Creation Approaches for Coal System - Options

. South Africa has developed expertise to efficiently and cost effectively transport coal by rail from mines to ports for export. . Current export capacity of >80mtpa will be significantly increased by investment in capacity creation programmes . Transnet will declare beyond 81 mtpa capacity in the new FY . Major capital programmes will proceed as demand certainty increases . Collaboration with prospective public and private sector partners will accelerate developments . Undivided attention given to improving operations efficiency, the foundation for building the future . The Coal System Rail Capacity Creation Approach will ensure customer demand is matched at all times . Heavy Haul Operations Business of Transnet has started with defining the future of our Heavy Haul Railway under Industry 4.0 . There is a compelling case to apply the already proven successes of the Heavy Haul industry in non heavy Haul operations, especially in Africa. . Great opportunity to grow other terminals (non-RBCT) and Eskom to realize SA’s road to rail
