Exxaro applies three levels of "competency" to estimating Coal Resources and Coal Reserves:
Exxaro's Coal Resources and Coal Reserves were estimated or supervised by the Competent Persons listed in Table 2 (name, affiliation and relevant experience) on an operational basis in accordance with the SAMREC Code for South African properties and the JORC Code for Australian properties. All Competent Persons have sufficient relevant experience in the style of mineralisation, type of deposit and/or mining method(s) under consideration and/or being mined and for the activity under their responsibility to qualify as Competent Persons, as defined in the applicable codes at the time of reporting.
The appointed Competent Persons have signed off their respective estimates in their original Competent Persons' reports for the various operations and consent to the inclusion of the information in this report in the form and context in which it appears in the Consolidated Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves report. The appointed Competent Persons are permanently employed by the company. In the case of projects, the Competent Persons conducted appropriate site visits to the mineral property being evaluated.
