ANNOUNCEMENT 6 December 2017
COMPLETION OF SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND UPDATE WITH REGARDS TO THE
NAME CHANGE
As previously announced, shareholders approved a 20 to 1
consolidation of shares (the "Consolidation") and change of name to
MC Mining Limited ("Name Change") at Coal of Africa Limited's
("CoAL" or the "Company") Annual General Meeting ("AGM") on 24
November 2017. The results of the AGM as well as previous
announcements detailing the Consolidation and Name Change processes
and timetables are available on the Company's website
www.coalofafrica.com.
Share Consolidation
The Company's shareholders are advised that the Consolidation of
CoAL's shares on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX"), AIM
Market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM") and Johannesburg Stock
Exchange ("JSE") will be finalised today.
The Consolidation and Name Change has resulted in the temporary
divergent treatment of CoAL's International Securities
Identification Number ("ISIN") on the ASX, AIM and JSE and its
shares being suspended on AIM from 28 November 2017 to today, with
normal trading in the consolidated securities recommencing
tomorrow, Thursday 7 December 2017. The change of the ISIN also
resulted in the temporary suspension of CoAL's shares on the JSE on
27 November 2017 and precludes the transfer of the Company's shares
from or to the South African share register until the Name Change
process is complete. The Name Change is expected to occur in the
week commencing Monday, 11 December 2017.
The Consolidation process satisfied the requirements of Section
254H(1) of the Australian Corporations Act (the "Act"). In terms of
the Act, where the Consolidation resulted in a fraction of a
security being held by a security holder, Directors are authorised
to issue additional shares, rounding that fraction up to the
nearest whole security. This rounding-up ratio was applied to all
ordinary shares, share options, warrants and performance rights
issued by the Company and the exercise prices for options and
performance rights were amended in inverse proportion to that
ratio.
The table below details the effect of the Consolidation on the
Company's issued securities (ASX, AIM and JSE combined).

sent to shareholders today, 6 December 2017. Following the
Consolidation, the ASX and AIM will utilise the ISIN AU000000CZA6
while the JSE will continue using the ISIN AU0000CZADC4, pending

been communicating with the ASX and awaits the issuing of the Name
Change ISIN by the exchange and, will keep the market appraised in
this regard.
Application has been made for the post Consolidation new
ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is
anticipated that trading in such shares will commence on or around
Thursday, 7 December 2017 ("Admission"). Following the
Consolidation and Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share
capital will comprise 140,879,585 ordinary shares and it does not
hold any shares in treasury. The 140,879,585 ordinary shares may be
used by the Company's shareholders as the denominator for
calculations to assess whether they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change in their interest in, the Company's share
capital under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Name Change
Shareholders approved the change the Company's name to MC Mining
Limited ("MC Mining") at the AGM resulting in the submission of the
necessary documents to the Australian Investments and Securities
Commission ("ASIC") to facilitate the Name Change. The requisite
ASIC approval has been received and the Company awaits the issue of
a new ISIN by the ASX prior to implementing the Name Change on the
ASX, AIM and JSE.
Shareholders on the South African register are reminded that due
to the Name Change processes, share certificates may not be
de-materialised or re-materialised between the ex-date and the
record date.
The Company expresses its appreciation to shareholders,
regulators and its advisors for their assistance to date,
facilitating the complex Consolidation and Name Change processes,
spanning multiple jurisdictions and diverse legislation and
regulations.
