Press Release

Weather impacts Coal & Allied operations

13 June 2007

Coal & Allied today announced that it has declared force majeure on a number of its sales

contracts effective from 8 June 2007, as a result of the severe weather conditions

encountered at the Port of Newcastle and the Hunter Region in New South Wales.

These weather conditions have had an impact on the Hunter Valley Coal Chain and will

prevent Coal & Allied from performing its obligations to deliver coal to the Port of Newcastle.

Coal & Allied is also presently assessing the impact of these weather conditions on

production at each of its mines.

At this stage, Coal & Allied is unable to provide an estimate of the duration of the force

majeure event and its effect.
