Subject of the Disclosure

Voluntarily Deferral of Mining Operations in North Block 7 of Molave Mine

Background/Description of the Disclosure

We would like to notify the Exchange that the Company has voluntarily deferred mining operations in North Block 7 (NB7), one of four mining blocks in Molave Mine. The deferral is due to water build-up in the sump of NB7, which was caused by water seepages and aggravated by heavy rainfall from the recent typhoons.

Deferring mining operations in NB7 will allow our technical consultants and mining personnel to implement remedial measures to manage the water build-up. The Company is currently unable to provide an estimate of when operations in the area will normalize pending completion of the remedial measures.

Coal shipments for this year will not be affected by the deferral of mining operations in NB7 as the Company has 3.4 million MT of coal inventory (as of December 1, 2020). However, we may not be able to meet the coal quality specifications of a few customers due to the expected delay in the production of high CV (calorific value) coal. Discussion between the Company and these customers are ongoing to address the matter.

In addition, the Company is behind by 1.7 million MT from its 2020 coal production target of 15 million MT. Ramping up production to meet the full-year target is unlikely at this point given the water seepages at NB7.

With the lower production, estimated financial impact is an increase of around P900 million in cost of coal sold owning to higher weighted average cost, which will negatively impact 2020 profitability.
