KEY FUNDAMENTALS E&T is a fast growing company with big ambitions and drive to succeed. The passion to build a strong and sustainable global business is backed by a number of key fundamentals which drive E&T’s competitive advantage: • Blue Chip Clients: E&T Minerals’ portfolio includes a number of listed and non-listed blue chip companies. These blue chip clients, along with the other companies in E&T’s portfolio, have been very eager to sign medium to long term contracts with the company. These are the value-added services E&T offers, as well as the company’s future growth potential. • Access to high quality resources: The local knowledge of E&T’s management team and years of experience in the natural resources sector has allowed them to build strong relationships with solid blue chip producers of coal.

• Understanding of junior miners: E&T is deeply embedded in Southern Africa’s mining investment arena and thus have an understanding of where the newest supply will come from. Large clients particularly appreciate this depth of knowledge, which allows them to better plan future resources. • Value-added service offering: Unlike many traders E&T Minerals is willing to get involved in mineral beneficiation. Traders who do not deal directly with this kind of work can only offer FOT prices on site.

E&T aims to become a leading African company and as such build sustainability and stability, based on the four ethical pillars they hold as key. • Enterprise Development: E&T has a level 4 BEE rating.
