ANNOUNCEMENT
25 July 2023
IDC LOAN UPDATE
MC Mining Limited (MC Mining or the Company) is pleased to announce that the Industrial
Development Corporation of South Africa Limited (the IDC) has extended the date for repayment of
the R160 million loan (c.US$8.9 million) plus interest thereon, to 30 September 2023. The repayment
of the R160 million loan, plus accrued interest, was due for repayment by 30 June 2023.
As previously announced, the larger scale Makhado Project resulted in peak funding of the project
increasing to ZAR1.8 billion (c.US$100 million). The IDC is a 6.7% shareholder in the Makhado Project
and remains supportive of the project and its prospects to facilitate industrialisation within the
Makhado corridor.
The additional facility of R245 million (c.US$13.6 million) for the development of the fully permitted
Makhado steelmaking hard coking coal project (Makhado Project or Makhado) remained subject to
the IDC confirming its due diligence and credit approval and has not been extended. This facility was
based on forecast phase 1 production of 540,000 tonnes (t) of steelmaking hard coking (HCC) coal and
570,000t of thermal coal (TC). As announced in June 2023, the increased scale of Makhado has led to
significantly improved economics and the project is now targeted to produce an average of 810,000t
of steelmaking HCC and 620,000t of TC over its 28-year life of mine, therefore making this facility
redundant.
The Company continues to advance the fund raising initiatives for Makhado, which as previously
advised are expected to be concluded in H2 CY2023.
