EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Minarco-MineConsult Pty Ltd MMC was commissioned by PT. Gunungbayan Pratamacoal to complete an independent estimate hereafter, referred to as the “Statement” of the Open Cut Coal Resources and
Reserves of their two adjoining mining tenements PT. Gunungbayan Pratamacoal Block 2 referred to as GBP Block 2 in this report in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The Statement reports the Coal Resources and Reserves as
at 31
st
March, 2008 and has been undertaken in compliance with the requirements of the reporting guidelines of the 2004 Joint Ore Reserves Committee of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Australian
Institute of Geoscientists and Minerals Council of Australia “The JORC Code”.
The GBP lease is located in the province of East Kalimantan, Indonesia, as shown on Figure 1. GBP is
one of six coal projects operated by PT. Bayan Resources Bayan and a separate Coal Resource and Reserves report has been prepared for each project. There are two separate mining areas in the GBP lease, Blocks 1 and 2.
GBP Block 2 is the subject of this report.
A total of up to 14 coal seams Seams S1-14 in ascending stratigraphic order and additional subseams or seam splits have been identified in the GBP Block 2 deposit and they range in thickness up to 3.9 m. The
seams are folded around a north plunging syncline, with dips of 10-15 degrees steepening towards the flanks of the syncline. The coal is low Total Moisture TM 7.8, very high Calorific Value CV 7,295 kcalkg gross as
received, gar, low ash 3.9 air dried basis, adb bituminous coal with variable sulphur content 0.3-3.7 adb which averages 1.3 adb.
Mining commenced in 1998 and production in 2007 totalled 4.1 million tonnes Mt. The mining method can be described as “multi pit, shallow to moderate dip open cut coal mining using truck and shovel
equipment in a haulback operation.” Several pits are in operation with overburden being stripped by three principal mining contractors and hauled back into the mined out areas, where the final landform is subsequently
rehabilitated. The multiple pits ensure that coal of varying sulphur content can be blended to produce a consistent product. The majority of run-of-mine ROM coal is not washed but is crushed to produce a thermal export coal.
A number of coal seams have been partly mined out and some pits have been back-filled.
Facilities include offices and a camp with associated road access, power and water supply. There is a small washplant to beneficiate high ash coal.
Coal is trucked 25-30 km from the pit to the Manau port on the Kedang Pahu River and is loaded onto 3,500t barges and barged approximately 444 km to the Balikpapan Coal Terminal. In the dry season some coal is
trucked a further 14 km to the Tepian Ulak port located on the Mahakam River where barges are ‘topped up’. The Tepian Ulak port is capable of handling 8,000t barges and is approximately 430km to the Balikpapan coal
terminal.
The deposit has been subject to extensive shallow open hole drilling with drill spacing typically at 50-100 m spacing in the proposed pit areas with “touch” coring of coal seams for obtaining coal samples for
analysis. However, due to the absence of geophysical logging, MMC considers the level of confidence of data to be adequate only for Coal Resource estimates of maximum Indicated status. Some of the coal seams have been
mined out and Coal Resources are only reported for remaining seams Seams 1-12.
The main GBP Block 2 Coal Resources are estimated to total 54 million tonnes Mt, of which 4 Mt are classed as Measured, 31 Mt as Indicated with the balance of 19 Mt as Inferred. Coal Resources have been
rounded to the nearest Mt to reflect the order of accuracy of the estimates. The mine has been operating since 1998 and is a mature mine with established infrastructure and
position in the market place. The Competent Person for Coal Reserves considers the current mine operation is be technically achievable and commercially viable. He has visited the site and is aware of the status of the
operations and issues associated with the mine. It is a complex site as there are a series of mined out pits and rehabilitated areas to consider in the long term mine plan. With recent higher coal prices the previous pit limits
have been extended. Underground options are being considered but are not included in this statement.
A “breakeven strip ratio” was calculated using actual data from the mine. This estimated the breakeven strip ratio to be 22.4 bcm tonne. Minex optimiser software was used to generate a series of incremental pit
shells. This is a three dimensional approach which provides a series of incremental pit shells where each increment is more expensive due to a combination of factors such as depth, strip ratio and coal quality.
A-31
Results were examined and compared to a series of manually designed pit shells generated by Bayan. Over 40 pit shells were then evaluated which extended over the various seams. These were cross-checked for
tonnes, quality and confidence. Any potential pit areas which had Inferred Resources were excluded from the estimate. This process started with 35 Mt ROM tonnes and after eliminating 9 Mt of lower confidence coal this
gave a total of 4 Mt of Proved Open Cut Coal Reserves, 22 Mt of Probable Open Cut Coal Reserves for a total of 26 Mt of Proved and Probable Open Cut Coal Reserves. The average ash is 6.6 adb, CV 7,044
kcalkg gar and the sulphur content 1.2 adb. As received moisture averages 7.8 moisture. The average stripping ratio is 19.4 bcm tonne. All the Coal Reserves are classified based on the level of detail completed in
the mine planning and also the level of confidence in the resources. Coal Resources are reported inclusive of Coal Reserves that is, Coal Reserves are not additional to Coal Resources.
There are a number of planning issues which may impact on the stated mining reserves. These include: ‰ ongoing exploration drilling and updates to the geological model
‰ inclusion of additional pit survey into the geological model for active mining areas; and ‰ ongoing mine planning including underground opportunities; rehandling of some backfilled dumps to
allow access to lower seams; potential high wall mining and more detailed life of mine planning. These issues may cause the pit shells and mining quantities to change in future JORC statements.
The Coal Resource estimates in the report were estimated by Mr. William Park, BSc Geology, BEcon, MAIG who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. The estimates are based on information
compiled and reviewed by Mr Park. He is a full time employee of MMC and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity undertaken to qualify him as a
Competent Person
as defined in the 2004 Edition of the JORC Code. The Coal Reserve estimates in the report were estimated by Mr Paul Westcott BE Mining, Hons,
FAusIMM, CPMin, MMICA, MAIME, who is a Chartered Professional Mining Engineer, a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, a Member of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, and a
member of the Mineral Industries Consultants Association. The estimates are based on information compiled and reviewed by Mr Westcott. He is a full time employee of MMC and has sufficient experience which is relevant to
the style and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity undertaken to qualify him as a Competent Person
as defined in the 2004 Edition of the JORC Code. This report may only be presented in its entirety. Parties wishing to publish or edit selected parts of the
text, or use the Statement for public reporting, must obtain prior written approval from MMC and the signatories of this report.

Australian Institute of Geoscientists and Minerals Council of Australia “The JORC Code”. MMC has adopted the following terms for the reporting of Coal Resources and Reserves:
‰ Coal Resources as used in this report are the same as “Mineral Resource” in The JORC Code and
“Geological Resources”, a common term used in the industry.
‰ Coal Resources have been subdivided into Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources to reflect
the confidence in the underlying resource data.
‰ Coal Reserves as used in this report are the same as “Ore Reserves” in The JORC Code and “Mining
Reserves”, a common term used in the industry. Coal Reserves include geological and mining losses, roof and floor loss and dilution.
‰ Coal Reserves have been subdivided into Proved and Probable to reflect the confidence in the
underlying resource data and mine planning detail.
‰ Marketable Reserves allow for practical yields in a beneficiation plant, which is commonly known in
the industry as “product coal”.
‰ Coal Resources are reported inclusive of Coal Reserves, that is, Coal Reserves are not additional to
Coal Resources. Additional terminology applied within this report includes the following:
‰ Geological Model or “In Situ” Model is the computerised three dimensional representation of the
coal deposit based on topographic survey data, coal seam data derived from outcrop, drillhole or other data points, including coal thickness and quality.
‰ Optimiser is the Minex software applied to the geological model to determine the economic pit limits
by the application of such factors as geological and mining losses, loss and dilution, geotechnical slope design and costrevenue inputs.
‰ Run of Mine ROM Coal non-JORC terminology as used in this report is coal in the pit shell after
application of geological and mining losses, roof and floor loss and dilution. ROM may include some Inferred coal resources.
1.2 Approach
The process adopted for completing the Statement is described below. 1.
An “in situ” geological model was created by Bayan geologists working on the GBP Block 2 project using Mincom software. This model had no cut off criteria applied, hence the term “in
situ” model.
2. This model and underlying raw data such as borehole logs and coal quality reports were reviewed
by MMC geologist, Mr William Park. 3.
The geological model was categorised into Indicated and Inferred confidence areas and then coal volumes, tonnages and qualities were estimated and reported in these categories after applying any
cut-off criteria.
4. Cross sections, plans and deposit characteristics such as structure, number and thickness of seams
were examined in conjunction with the proposed equipment and mining method to decide on minimum mining thickness, coal losses and dilution factors. These factors were then used to
convert the in situ geological model to a ROM model.

5. The Mincom model was then imported into Minex software. The reason for this step was to allow
mine planning software called the “Optimiser” to be run. 6.
Costs and revenue factors were supplied by Bayan and checked for reasonableness by MMC. These were then converted in a form to suit the Optimiser software and together with other criteria
such as depth constraints, geotechnical criteria and minimum mining thickness, a series of pit shells were derived for varying revenue inputs.
7. The optimiser output was then compared to a series of manually designed pit shells generated by
Bayan. A total of over 40 pit shells were then evaluated which extended over 10 of the 14 seams. These pit shells formed the basis of the subsequent reserves estimates.
8. The Indicated confidence limits were overlaid on these pit shells and any Inferred tonnes were
excluded from the estimate. 9.
Each pit was then checked to see that it was “economic” using the “break even strip ratio” calculation.
10. Estimates were adjusted as necessary for mined out coal to the end of March 2008. 11. The Coal Reserves were categorised as Probable based on the Coal Resource confidence and the
level of detail in the mine planning. 12. Checks were undertaken and results and supporting information documented in this report.

1.4 Previous Coal Resource and Reserve Statements
MMC has previously prepared two Coal Resource and Reserve statements compliant with the JORC Code for this project dated 31st December 2007 and 31
st
January 2008. The geological model has not been updated since 31
st
January 2008 but there has been some production 471,637 tonnes from February to March 2008.
Total Coal Resources are largely unchanged since the previous report with the exception of additional quantities in Seams 7 and 8 which have been extended down dip due to the availability of deeper drill data. Coal
seams in several blocks have been upgraded from Indicated to Measured category due to geophysical logging of more recent drillholes and the availability of pit survey data in currently active pits.
Coal Reserves have increased due to revision of the mining limits for a number of pits due to increased coal prices and a proportion of Probable Coal Reserves has been upgraded to Proved category due to the upgrade
in Coal Resource category to Measured.
