And Completion Of The Acquisition
Wescoal Holdings Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number 2005/006913/06)
(JSE code: WSL ISIN: ZAE000069639)
("Wescoal" or "the group")
UPDATE ON THE ACQUISTIONS OF COAL PROSPECTING RIGHTS AND COMPLETION OF THE
ACQUISITION OF VLAKVARKFONTEIN COAL PROSPECTING RIGHTS
1. UPDATE ON THE COAL RIGHTS ACQUISTIONS
Shareholders are referred to the announcements dated 6 March 2008 and 10 April
2008 in which it was announced that subject to the fulfilment of certain
conditions precedent, Wescoal has purchased:
* the Prospecting Rights extending over Portions 16 and 12 of the Farm
Vlakvarkfontein 213 IR district of Witbank from Razorbill Properties 269
(Pty) Limited ("Razorbill") ("Vlakvarkfontein acquisition");
* the Prospecting Rights over Portion 10 of the Farm Bankfontein 216 IR
district of Witbank from Vuselela Mining (Pty) Limited ("Vuselela")
("Bankfontein acquisition "); and
* the Prospecting Rights over Portions 8,9 & 10 of the Farm Mooiplaats 165
JS Mpumalanga province from Vuselela ("Mooiplaats acquisition").
collectively "the coal rights acquisitions".
2. COMPLETION OF VLAKVARKFONTEIN ACQUISITION
Shareholders are advised that all conditions precedent in respect of the
Vlakvarkfontein acquisition have now been fulfilled including the receipt of
the Section 11 transfer in terms of the Minerals and Petroleum and Resources
Act, 2002 and accordingly, the board of directors of Wescoal announce that the
Vlakvarkfontein acquisition has now become unconditional in all respects.
Messrs Robinson Ramaite and Mpumelelo Sikhosana, directors of Wescoal, have an
equity interest in Razorbill and Vuselela through their BEE company Waterberg
Portion Property Investments (Pty) Limited and it is therefore regarded as a
related party to Wescoal in terms of the Listing Requirements of the JSE
Limited ("Listing Requirements"). However the Vlakvarkfontein acquisition is
not regarded as a related party transaction as the percentage in paragraph
10.6(c) read with paragraph 21.11(a) of the Listing Requirements is below 10%
of the market capitalisation of Wescoal.
3. FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE BANKFONTEIN AND MOOIPLAATS ACQUISITIONS
Shareholders will be notified of the progress of the Bankfontein and
Mooiplaats acquisitions in due course.
