                               CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS


FUEL PURCHASE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

On 12 July 2013, the Company entered into the Fuel Purchase Framework Agreement with Xilinhaote Mining 
Co., pursuant to which the Company and certain of its subsidiaries agreed to purchase coal from Xilinhaote 
Mining Co. with a maximum aggregate annual transaction amount of approximately RMB882 million for a term 
of one year commencing from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2013.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the date of this announcement, CDC is the controlling shareholder of the Company, which together 
with its subsidiaries hold approximately 34.71% of the issued share capital of the Company. Since China 
Datang Coal Industry Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDC, holds 40% equity interest in Xilinhaote Mining 
Co., Xilinhaote Mining Co. is therefore a connected person of the Company. The transaction contemplated 
under the Fuel Purchase Framework Agreement constitutes continuing connected transactions of the Company.

Since each of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in 
respect of the transaction amount of the Fuel Purchase Framework Agreement is higher than 0.1% and below 
5%, the Fuel Purchase Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are only subject 
to the reporting and announcement requirements, but do not require the approval by the independent 
shareholders of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
