EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
SMG Consultants (SMGC) was engaged by Geo Energy Resources Limited (GERL) to prepare
an independent estimate of Open Cut Coal Reserves for a coal mining project (Project)
combining PT Sungai Danau Jaya (SDJ) and PT Tanah Bumbu Resources (TBR) coal
concessions located in the Angsana and Sungai Lohan sub district, Tanah Bumbu regency,
South Kalimantan Province of Indonesia. This Statement reports the estimated Coal Reserves
contained within the Project as of the 19th May 2017, the date of the latest topographic survey.
Mining commenced the Project area in December 2015. The Statement has been prepared in
accordance with SMGC’s interpretation of the requirements of the reporting guidelines of the
2012 Joint Ore Reserves Committee of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy,
Australasian Institute of Geoscientists and Minerals Council of Australia (“The JORC Code”). The
Project’s engineering department has prepared an execution level of mine plan jointly with the
mining contractor. SMGC has used the mine plan for the purpose of this current Reserve
estimate after performing a review for its validity and reasonableness.
TENURE AND PERMIT
Tenure for The Project is held under two Izin Usaha Pertambangan (IUP) Operasi Produksi
licenses – PT Sungai Danau Jaya (SDJ) and PT Tanah Bumbu Resources (TBR). SDJ and TBR
cover 235.5 and 489.1 ha respectively which equates to a total 724.6 ha. The validity of the SDJ
and TBR mining licenses are till May 2022 and January 2022, respectively.
The southern area of the Project is classified as Areal Penggunaan Lain (Other Purpose) and
thus a “Borrow to Use” Permit (Izin Pinjam Pakai Kawasan Hutan) is not required, but the
northern area (175.63 ha) is classified as Hutan Produksi Konversi (convertible production forest)
and a “Borrow to Use” Permit (Izin Pinjam Pakai Kawasan Hutan) is required from the Forestry
Department before mining operations can take place.
SDJ holds a valid IPPKH through 29th May 2022 for a total area of 68.5 Ha and the current
mining activities are restricted within this area. The residual 16.03 Ha area of HPK inside SDJ
concession requires an additional IPPKH in order to extend mining activities in this area. An
application has been made in this regard and the same application has now been supported by
the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) via a letter number 1859/30/DJB/2016
dated 30th December 2016 which states that SDJ can be granted an IPPKH over the said area
under a condition referred as Domestic Marketing Obligation (DMO) as further discussed in the
Section 11.
Approximately 91.1 ha in the Northern part of the TBR concession is classified as HPK and so an
IPPKH is required before mining can commence in this area. At the time of writing this report
SMGC was informed that the IPPKH has been granted and a copy of the same will be soon
collected from the concerned department.
Approximately 227 Ha of the AJE concession comes under the HPK forest category and so an
IPPKH is required for this area before mining activity can take place. SMGC was informed that
an application has been already made in this regard for obtaining the same.
In the opinion of SMGC these come under standard permitting procedures and SMGC does not
see any reason why they cannot be obtained. However, SMGC makes no warranty or
representation to either GERL or third parties (express or implied) in regard to extension or
obtaining any legal permits.
A-11
Combined JORC Reserve Statement Geo Energy Resources Limited
The main coal bearing lithology within the Project is the Dahor Formation. Coal in this formation
shows a single phase of seam splitting. 12 named parent coal seams have been intersected by
exploration drilling within the Project area. Of these 12 seams, the A5A, A5B, A5C, A5D, A6A
and A6B seams have split into an upper and lower member. In total 18 named seam plies have
been identified and are included in the structural geological model.
This Coal Reserve Estimate uses the most recent geological model and Coal Resources
Estimate which was compiled by Mr. Abdullah Dahlan of SMGC. Mr. Dahlan is a Member of The
Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and is a full time employee of SMG Consultants.
He has sufficient experience in coal geology and Resource evaluation to qualify as a Competent
Person under the 2012 JORC code.
The total JORC compliant Resource as of 19th May 2017 was estimated to be 97.0 Mt out of
which 78.1 Mt is Measured, 17.2 Mt is indicated and 1.7 Mt is in the Inferred category. Resources
are based upon estimated in situ density values estimated using the Preston-Sanders method. A
minimum thickness cut-off 0.30 metres was set for the area, as it is considered unlikely that any
seam thinner than this would be extracted during future mining
Coal located within the Project area may be characterised as a high moisture, variable ash
content and low energy coal. Ash content is highly dependent on the seam with ash values
ranging from 1.7 % to 24.0 % with a mean of 3.9 % on an air dried basis.
APPROACH
The geological model developed for the Resource estimate and the as-dumped topography
surface as of 19th May 2017 were the key inputs to the Reserve estimation process. Final pit
design was provided by GERL. This was checked and adjusted by SMGC in order to verify
adherence to geotechnical guidelines and use of appropriate mining limits considering
concession boundaries, location of significant infrastructure and communities. Coal Reserves
were then calculated by applying appropriate mining loss and dilution parameters to the
Measured and Indicated Coal Resources inside the final pit design.
The Project’s engineering department has completed an execution level of mine plan and the
same was provided to SMGC for necessary verifications. SMGC has reviewed the plan and
found suitable to support the current Reserve estimation. The schedule targeted 12.8 Mt of
product coal in the first year and an average of 14.8 Mt from 2nd year onwards except for the
final year. The dumping strategy is based on the mutual mining agreements between SDJ and its
eastern neighbour AJE. The mine plan also assumes that AJE will follow the current life of mine
plan so that the backfilling strategy can be successfully implemented to avoid any hindrance to
the smooth mining operation.
A-12
Combined JORC Reserve Statement Geo Energy Resources Limited
MODIFYING FACTORS
Coal Reserves were estimated by applying appropriate modifying factors and exclusion criteria to
the Coal Resources. Surface water management, infrastructure and the location of the IUP
boundary were used to determine the surface constraints for the mining operation.
The Project is a contractor operated coal mine using excavator and truck mining methods. Waste
material is mined using hydraulic excavators ranging up to 100 tonne class and loaded into
standard rear tipping off-highway trucks and hauled to dumps in close proximity to the pits or to
in-pit dumps where possible. Coal is mined using hydraulic excavators and hauled out of the pit
using rigid body coal trucks approximately 17 km to the Port stockpile. Coal is loaded from the
stockpiles onto barges using a standard mechanical reclaim and barge-loading system. Barges
of 8,000 t capacity can be loaded from the port. Coal is then barged approximately 18 km on the
open ocean to the nearest anchorage.
A set of unit rates were derived by SMGC for the Project based on data supplied by GERL and
supplemented with the SMGC knowledge database. Some of these were based on existing
contracts between the Project and other parties. These unit rates were then compared against
similar operations in Indonesia and are found reasonable and suitable for the purpose of this
study.
RESERVE ESTIMATE
Coal Reserves have been reported in Proved and Probable categories to reflect the reliability of
the estimate. No Inferred Coal Resources are included in the reported Coal Reserves. The Coal
Reserves along with the product qualities are presented from Table ES.1 to Table ES.3 and are
rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimates. Reserves are inclusive within Resource tonnes
and are simply defined as the economically minable part of a Measured and/or Indicated Mineral
Resource.
Please see Section 7.8 for a detailed understanding of the different Reserve Classes and
procedure to convert In situ coal to Run of Mine (ROM). Marketable Reserves are equivalent to
Run of Mine (ROM) Reserves as no beneficiation of coal product is planned other than crushing.
Coal Reserve estimates are based on an execution level life of mine plan.

The information in this report that relates to Coal Reserves of the Project and is based upon
information compiled by Mr. Joyanta Chakraborty who is a Member of the Australasian Institute
of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr. Chakraborty is employed as a Senior Mining Engineer by SMGC.
He has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit
under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person
as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and
Ore Reserves”. This document has been checked as part of SMGC’s peer review process.
RISKS
Mutual Mining Arrangement
This Reserve statement is highly dependent upon the mutual mining and dumping arrangement
between SDJ and its eastern neighbour – PT Angsana Jaya Energi (AJE). This arrangement
allows SDJ to dump a considerable amount of waste into this concession. Additionally it assumes
that AJE will follow the current life of mine plan so that the backfilling strategy can be
successfully implemented to avoid any hindrance to the smooth mining operation.
This mutual understanding is supported by one signed agreement between SDJ and AJE. SMGC
has been given copies of the agreement (Appendix H). Any deviation from this arrangement may
impact on the underlying Life of Mine plan and thus alter the outcome of this current Reserve
Statement.
Additional IPPKH Permits
The current activities of the Project are restricted by the existing IPPKH boundary for a total area
of around 68.5 ha inside the SDJ IUP and there is no legal issue with the same. However, in
order to adhere to the underlying life of mine plan the Project needs to obtain the residual IPPKH
permits on time. All the IPPKH approval processes are currently in advanced stages and SMGC
does not see any issue which prevents the Project from obtaining these approvals. However, the
timing of obtaining this IPPKH will have a direct impact on the current strategy of the underlying
Life of Mine plan and that in turn may alter the outcome of this Reserve statement.

and Metallurgy and is a full time employee of SMGC. He has sufficient experience in coal
geology and Resource evaluation to qualify as a Competent Person under the 2012 JORC code.
1.2 INTERPRETATION
Under the 2012 JORC Code, only Indicated and Measured Coal Resources can be considered
for conversion to Coal Reserves after consideration of the “Modifying Factors” including mining,
processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and
government factors.
To convert Resources to Reserves it must be demonstrated that extraction could be justified after
applying reasonable investment assumptions.
The highest confidence level establishes Proved Reserves from Measured Resources and a
lesser confidence level establishes Probable Reserves from Indicated Resources. A level of
uncertainty in any one or more of the Modifying Factors may result in Measured Resources
converting to Probable Reserves depending on materiality. A high level of uncertainty in any one
or more of the Modifying Factors may preclude the conversion of the affected Resources to
Reserves.
Key terms used to report Coal Reserves in this report are described below:
Coal Reserves are the same as Ore Reserves as described in The 2012 JORC Code,
which is defined as the economically minable part of a Measured and/or Indicated
Mineral Resource. These are also referred to as Run of Mine Reserves and include
dilution material and losses that may occur as part of the mining process, as well as
consideration of all relevant modifying factors. Coal Reserves are subdivided into Proved
and Probable to reflect the confidence of the underlying Resource data and confidence in
the application of modifying factors.
Marketable Reserves allow for a realistic yield in a coal beneficiation plant. In the case
of this coal, marketable Reserves are equivalent to Run of Mine Reserves as no
beneficiation of coal product is planned other than crushing.
Coal Resources are reported inclusive of Coal Reserves (i.e. Coal Reserves cannot be
added to Coal Resources).
1.3 APPROACH
This Reserve Estimate was prepared for maximising the Reserve tonnage for the Project. The
following approach was undertaken by SMGC to estimate Coal Reserves for this scenario:
1. The Coal Resources estimate and geological model used as the basis for Reserves
estimation has been compiled by Mr. Abdullah Dahlan of SMGC. Mr. Dahlan is a Member
of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and is a full time employee of
SMGC and has sufficient experience in coal geology and Resource evaluation to qualify
as a Competent Person under the 2012 JORC code.
2. The topographic surface used for the geologic model and the Resource and Reserve
statement was from total station survey data supplied by GERL. The As-dumped
topographic surface used for estimation is current up to the 19th May 2017 after
commencement of mining activity inside the Project area.
3. The Project’s engineering department has completed an execution level of mine plan and
the same was provided to SMGC for necessary verifications. A final pit design was
produced based this mine plan following the recommendations from the geotechnical
studies.
A-16
Combined JORC Reserve Statement Geo Energy Resources Limited
4. Minex software was used to generate a ‘Reserves database’ for all Resources inside the
final pit design. Appropriate mining loss, dilution factors and density adjustments were
applied and ROM quantities and qualities were reported.
5. SMGC has reviewed the mine plan provided and found it suitable to support the current
Reserve estimation.
6. A financial model with suitable cost and revenue assumptions was then developed with
the yearly quantities and qualities from the mine plan to confirm that the Project is viable
given the assumptions of the study.
7. Recoverable Coal Reserves inside the final pit design were then classified as Proved or
Probable based on the boundaries for Measured and Indicated Coal Resources provided
in the Statement of Coal Resources.
8. The result of the Coal Reserve estimate and supporting information were documented in
this report.
A-17
Combined JORC Reserve Statement Geo Energy Resources Limited
comments made on the relevant sections of the JORC Table 1 and have been provided on an ‘if
not, why not’ basis. This has been completed to ensure that it is clear to an investor whether
items have been considered and deemed of low consequence or have yet to be addressed or
resolved.
The order and grouping of criteria of the JORC Table 1, reflects the normal systematic approach
to exploration and evaluation. Relevance and Materiality are the overriding principles which
determine what information should be publicly reported and SMGC has attempted to provide
sufficient comment on all matters that might materially affect a reader’s understanding or
interpretation of the results or estimates being reported. It is important to note that the relative
importance of the criteria will vary with the particular project and the legal and economic
conditions pertaining at the time of determination.
In some cases it may be appropriate for a Public Report to exclude some commercially sensitive
information. A decision to exclude commercially sensitive information would be a decision for the
company issuing the Public Report, and such a decision should be made in accordance with any
relevant corporation regulations in that jurisdiction.
In cases where commercially sensitive information is excluded from a Public Report, the report
should provide summary information (for example the methodology used to determine economic
assumptions where the numerical value of those assumptions is commercially sensitive) and
context for the purpose of informing investors or potential investors and their advisers.
2. TENURE
A-18
Combined JORC Reserve Statement Geo Energy Resources Limited
SMGC makes no warranty or representation to either GERL or third parties (express or implied)
in regard to the validity of the IUPs and documentations. This Reserve Report does not constitute
a legal due diligence of the concessions. The clean and clear (C&C) certificates for both the IUPs
(SDJ - No. 467/Bb/03/2014 and TBR - 682/Bb/03/2016) were issued by Directorate General of
Mineral and Coal. SMGC has been given copies of the certificates. The same appears under
Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) WebGIS.
2.3 NEIGHBOURS
The Project is surrounded by several neighbouring concessions one of which has cooperative
mining and dumping arrangements with SDJ. Therefore it is necessary to have a clear
understanding about the names and positions of these neighbouring concessions which play a
crucial role in executing the mine plan which underlays this JORC statement. Figure 2.2 shows
the Project along with the neighbouring concessions.

3. GEOLOGY
This section is a summary of the report “Combined JORC Resource Statement, PT Sungai
Danau Jaya and PT Tanah Bumbu Resources, dated June 2017, Prepared for Geo Energy
Resources Limited” by SMGC. The reader is referred to that document for a more detailed
discussion on geology and Resources.
3.1 OVERVIEW

Combined JORC Reserve Statement Geo Energy Resources Limited
Of the boreholes that have been sampled in the Project area, 36 of the total 185 contain quality
data. All 36 of these holes have associated geophysical data logs and only these holes have
been used in the quality modelling process. From these boreholes a total of 76 valid samples
were collected based on samples containing Ash and In situ Moisture records.
The proximate analysis results from the samples in the area (Table 3.2) show the coals to have
high moisture, highly variable ash, low sulphur and low energy content.
geophysics.
The topography used in the current geological model is the mined out topography as of 19th May
2017. Topographic contour data was generated from this total station survey as XYZ co-
ordinates points and imported into the database in ASCII format. This is considered to be of
sufficient accuracy for the estimation of Coal Resources and Coal Reserves.
A “non-conformable” base of weathering surface for the current geological model was generated
using a default depth of weathering of 3 m below topography. This was due to the limited logging
of the weathered material in historical lithological logs. All grids in the final model are cut to this
surface 3 m below the topography.

4. RESOURCES
Resource classifications for the Project were defined using the following criteria:
Only boreholes that had valid survey collars (not GPS-survey) were used, i.e. those
boreholes not surveyed have not been considered.
Cored boreholes that were geophysically logged and sampled were considered as valid
points of observation for Resource calculations.
Non-logged holes were considered in structural modelling if coal seam thickness
demonstrated valid thickness and recovery with adjacent geophysically logged boreholes.
Open holes, intersecting coals seams with geophysical logs were also used to ensure
continuity of the Resource calculation along the strike length of the deposit.
A default density was not applied to Resource calculations as all estimated seams had a
sufficient number and distribution of relative density analysis results to allow for
extrapolation across the concession area.
The extent of the various Resource categories for each of the seams in the Project area can be
seen in Appendix F.
A-28
Combined JORC Reserve Statement Geo Energy Resources Limited
Resource estimates for the Project were based upon in situ density (ID) grids that have been
converted from relative density data using the Preston-Sanders method. Sufficient relative
density data was available to allow modelling of density for all estimated seams. The Resource
depth was limited to a Lerch Grossman pit optimisation base surface (GEOM07), (as discussed
in Section 7 of the Resource report) with a minimum seam thickness set to 0.30 m. All seams
were truncated against the base of weathering surface 3 m below topography. All Resources
were limited to the concession boundary.

Sanity Check - The difference between the total barged coal to the vessel and the total hauled coal to
1 the stockpile for the period was compared against the surveyed stockpile quantity at the end of the
period.
In situ to ROM Conversion Check - The in situ coal production for the period was converted to the run-
2 of-mine (ROM) coal using the same set of parameters used during JORC and then the ROM quantity was
compared against the total hauled coal to the stockpile
Quality Check - The weighted average qualities of the ROM coal for the period was compared against
3
that of the total shipped coal qualities based on the certificate of analysis (COA) results

Seam Gradient
The distribution of tonnage based on seam gradient is shown in Figure 6.3 below. The majority
(97 %) of the seams in this deposit show low dips (0 to 10 degrees). This will be beneficial in
enabling simple coal mining practices and allowing waste to be dumped back in pit with minimal
geotechnical concerns.

Figure 6.4 and Figure 6.5 shows the distribution of various DAF Energy zones for two major
seams across the Project area. It is evident that there is a general trend of increasing energy
from east to west.

8. MINE SCHEDULING
A Life of Mine (LOM) plan was completed by the Project’s engineering department for the deposit
and the same was provided to SMGC. The LOM plan included a production schedule, waste
balance and preliminary equipment calculations. SMGC has reviewed the mine plan and
performed cross-checks to ensure that the operation is practical, achievable and that there is
sufficient dumping room to contain all the waste mined in the final pit design. Waste haul
distances were also estimated to adjust the waste mining costs for the operation.
The mine plan targeted 12.8 Mt in the year 2018 and average 14.8 Mt for rest of the mine life
except for the last year. A summary of the LOM plan physical quantities and qualities are shown
in the Table 8.1 below. The yearly pit and waste dump positions are included under Appendix G.

9. COAL LOGISTICS
The Project has hauled and shipped more than 8 Mt between December 2015 and May 2017.
The logistics for coal is considered to be very convenient for the Project. The coal is cleaned and
mined using small excavators (40 t) and hauled using rigid body off-highway trucks (30 t) directly
to a ROM stockpile located at the port at a distance of about 17.5 km from the mine. The coal
trucks first use the mine haul roads from the pit to the existing PT Toudano Mandiri Abadi (TMA)
coal toll road. This is a privately owned coal haul road between the Project and port area. This
road is available for hauling coal on a USD/t basis. Coal from the pit use this haul road up to the
ROM stockpile area near the STU port. All the coal trucks are weighed through a 50 t weigh-
bridge before entering the ROM stockpile. Coal dumped to the ROM stockpile is rehandled into
feeder hoppers by a fleet of wheel loaders and dump trucks depending on the barge allocation
schedule. The coal from the hopper is crushed to – 50 mm product through primary and
secondary crusher systems and finally loaded into 300 ft. (8000 t) barges through bulk loading
conveyors (BLC).
A diagram representing the coal chain from the pit to port is shown in Figure 9.1. A map showing
the location of the infrastructure location, coal haul road and port area is shown in Figure 9.2.

10. INFRASTRUCTURE
Operations have commenced within the Project area and all necessary infrastructures are
already in place. This includes the following:
Mining contractors Workshop and Site Office
Mining Contractor’s Camp for 350 People
Coal Haul Road to the Port – This is a third party road available on rental basis
Port Stockpile and Barge Loading facilities
- STU Port – This is a third party port used by the Project on rental basis. The
capacity of this port is 2,000 tph which equates to approximately 12 Mtpa
- BIR Port - This is also a third party port used by the Project on rental basis. The
capacity of this port is 600 tph which equates to approximately 3.6 Mtpa
In SMGC’s opinion, the available infrastructure sufficient to support the current and the future
mining activities following the existing Life of Mine plan. However, in order to ship approximately
15 Mt, it would need both the STU and BIR port available to the Project at the fullest capacity.
Figure 10.1 to Figure 10.7 demonstrates the existing infrastructure in the Project area.

The topography, catchment areas and water flows around the concession were mapped and
analysed using both the LIDAR topographic survey data as well as SRTM topographic data. The
area to the west side of the current pit inside the Project area is of higher elevation compared to
that at the east. Thus, the natural direction of surface water flow is towards the concession in to
the pit areas.
The major water channels and water flows that will have a significant impact on the Project are
shown in Figure 13.1. There are 2 areas of the pit where water flows will have a significant
impact of operations:
Northern Water Channel: a seasonal water stream flows through the concession and the
northern part of the pit area, as shown in Figure 13.1. While this is expected to have water flows
year round with some seasonal flooding, it is not considered to be a major one and thus it should
be possible to divert the same with diversion ditches as shown in the Figure 13.1.
Southern Water Channel: this is also a seasonal water channel which combines a number of
catchments in the southern part of the pit. Some diversions will be required at the later stages of
the LOM plan.
SMGC is of the opinion that there are no other catchments or rivers that will have a material
impact on the Reserve Estimate; however it will be necessary to construct water diversions and
sequence waste dumping to ensure that surface water run-off does not enter the pit. The
Project’s engineering department has completed a water management plan in this regard. The
major catchment areas and diversion ditches have been considered in the said plan. The mining
sequence chosen for the deposit will have a significant impact on water management
requirements, although differences in water management costs between options are likely to be
small compared to the cost of moving waste. Water management costs are accounted for in the
operating costs of the mine and are considered sufficient for the purpose of this Reserve
Statement.

13.9 CLASSIFICATION
The JORC Code allows a Measured Resource to be accepted as a Proved Reserve and an
Indicated Resource to be accepted as a Probable Reserve. To convert a Resource to a Reserve
it must be demonstrated that extraction could reasonably be justified after applying reasonable
assumptions. A level of uncertainty in any one or more of the Modifying Factors may result in a
Measured Resource being converted to a Probable Reserve. A high level of uncertainty in any
one or more of the Modifying Factors may preclude the conversion of the affected Resource to a
Reserve.
In the opinion of SMGC the uncertainties in most of the modifying factors applied to the Coal
Reserves are not sufficiently material to prevent the classification of areas deemed Measured
Resources to be areas of Proved Reserves for the purpose of this study. Similarly in the opinion
of SMGC the uncertainties in the modifying factors are also not sufficiently material to prevent the
classification of areas deemed Indicated Resources to be areas of Probable Reserve.
