Investors are advised that National Instrument NI 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators (“NI 43-101”) requires that each category of mineral reserves and mineral resources be reported separately. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated or Inferred Resources The information presented uses the terms “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” mineral resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize these terms. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

9. Historical Coal Prices • South African thermal coal (Richard’s Bay terminal) and coking coal prices have increased significantly over the last several months • The recovery to 2008 levels have been driven by increased demand, particularly from China and India, and higher cost supply from key producing nations such as Russia and the U.S. Historical South African Thermal Coal and PCI Coal Prices Source: Bloomberg

13. Magdalena Bituminous Coal Operations

14. South African Bituminous Coal Market • Forbes Coal sells its high quality bituminous coal directly to independent industrial companies in South Africa (US$40 – US$50/t premium on coal) • Forbes Coal’s domestic sales are at market prices (approximately US$80/t) compared to low quality coal sold to state-controlled power utility Eskom (sells at US$20/t-US$30/t) • Forbes Coal also sells its bituminous coal to export markets through the Richard’s Bay port • Targeting export markets in India and Europe • South African exports to India increased from 8.4M t in 2008 to 22.0M t in 2009 • South Africa has historically been a major supplier to Europe given significantly lower shipping prices compared to major exporting countries such as Australia and Indonesia • Significant upside potential to export prices • Richards Bay bituminous coal spot price of US$130/t is significantly below 2008 highs of US$177/t • Robust import demand from India • Growing imports into China due to increasing demand and production curtailments • Slowing export supply growth from Indonesia as more coal is diverted for domestic use • Short-term supply constraints caused by flooding in Australia • Australia is the second-largest exporter of bituminous coal • Wood Mackenzie stated that prices could exceed 2008 highs Magdalena Sales Mix (2010E)

15. Growing Bituminous Coal Demand from China and India Expecting continued strong demand for bituminous coal imports from both China and India Chinese coal supply limited by domestic production, infrastructure constraints from Inner Mongolia and domestic power generation growth Indian demand being driven by construction of new coal fired power stations In 2004, Chinese net exports of thermal coal were 71M t. From December 2009 to November 2010 net imports were 39M t, a swing of 110M tpa in a global market of about 700M tpa1 Richard’s Bay bituminous coal exports to Asia have grown 237% since 2008, making Asia the largest bituminous coal export market for South African coal China and India Bituminous Coal Imports2 Richard’s Bay Terminal Bituminous Coal Exports3 10x increase • Chinese trade data, Canaccord Genuity Research • Source: December 2010 Xstrata presentation • Richard’s Bay Terminal, Canaccord Genuity Research
