Chandgana Coal Project
The Chandgana Coal Project is located in Khentii Aimag in eastern Mongolia and is contiguous to the planned Chandgana Power Plant.
The project is within the Nyalga Coal Basin and consists of exploration and mining licenses which host a measured resource of 633 million tonnes and an indicated resource of 539 million tonnes of thermal coal (total over 1.17 billion tonnes)*. The licenses are held by Chandgana Coal LLC (CC) a wholly owned subsidiary of Prophecy Coal Corp. All the licenses have favorable geological characteristics including thick coal seams, thin overburden, few discontinuities, and good coal quality. These make for low cost-high productivity mining (average strip ratio is 2:1) of the resource and a coal well-suited for coal-fired thermal power plants.

During May 2013, Chandgana Coal executed a 25 year Coal Supply Agreement (CSA) with Prophecy Power Generation LLC (PPG, a wholly owned subsidiary of Prophecy) which is developing the 600MW Chandgana Power Plant project. As per the CSA, Chandgana Coal will supply 3.6 million tonnes of coal annually, at a price of USD17.70 per tonne with normal adjustments for a period of 25 years. PPG has committed to purchase a minimum of 2 million tonnes on a “take or pay” basis, with customary breakup fees payable by PPG. The initial coal delivery date is anticipated to be during the second half of 2016, subject to PPG signing a Power Purchase Agreement with the Mongolian Government, obtaining all necessary governmental approvals, and obtaining project financing.

Chandgana Coal Resources
The Nyalga Coal Basin contains significant coal resources of good grade and quality. Prophecy Coal Corp. through its Mongolian subsidiary Chandgana Coal controls a major portion of the basin. Chandgana Coal’s resources are held in two properties - Chandgana Tal consisting of two mining licenses and Khavtgai Uul consisting of one exploration license.

Chandgana consists of two properties-Chandgana Tal and Khavtgai Uul. Chandgana Tal consists of 124.4 mt of measured resource. Khavtgai Uul consists of 509 mt measured and 539 mt indicated resource. Khavtga Uul’s resource estimates are based on the September 2010 NI 43-101 Khavtgai Uul Technical Report by Kravits Geological Services, LLC. The report is authored by Christopher M. Kravits CPG, LPG of Kravits Geological Services, LLC., who was an independent Qualified Person under NI 43-101 at the time of the report. The Chandgana Tal resource estimate is based on the November 2012 NI 43-101Updated Technical Report and PEA on Chandgana Tal by John T. Boyd Co. (USA). The lead Qualified Person for the report is Thaddeus J. Sobek, who is an independent Qualified Person under NI 43-101. Detailed Resource/Grade Table
Chandgana Tal consists of 0.124 Bt of measured resource. Khavtgai Uul consists of 0.509 Bt of measured and 0.539 Bt of indicated coal resources. The resource estimates for both properties meet the requirements of Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and were prepared by independent Qualified Persons.
The coal of both Chandgana properties has been sampled and assayed in detail. The coal is of sub-bituminous C to B rank (ASTM) and moderate grade with medium ash and gross calorific value and low total sulfur so is well suited for use in coal-fired thermal power plants such as that planned at Chandgana. The average in-place coal quality (as-received basis) for the major coal seam at Chandgana Tal is: total moisture 40.9 wt %, ash 10.8 wt %, gross heating value 3,306 kcal/kg, and total sulfur 0.61 wt %. The average in-place coal quality (as-received basis) for the Khavtgai Uul property is slightly better: total moisture 36.5 wt %, ash 10.1 wt %, gross heating value 3,636 kcal/kg, and total sulfur 0.59 wt %.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained on this page, including statements which may contain words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “estimates”, or similar expressions, and statements related to matters which are not historical facts, are forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Such forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s expectations regarding Prophecy’s future growth, results of operations, performance, business prospects and opportunities, are based on certain factors and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These estimates and assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and other uncertainties and contingencies, many of which, with respect to future events, are subject to change and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by Prophecy.
In making forward-looking statements as may be included on this page, Prophecy has made several assumptions that it believes are appropriate, including, but not limited to assumptions that:; there being no significant disruptions affecting operations, such as due to labour disruptions; currency exchange rates being approximately consistent with current levels; certain price assumptions for coal, prices for and availability of fuel, parts and equipment and other key supplies remain consistent with current levels; production forecasts meeting expectations; the accuracy of Prophecy’s current mineral resource estimates; labour and materials costs increasing on a basis consistent with Prophecy’s current expectations; and that any additional required financing will be available on reasonable terms. Prophecy cannot assure you that any of these assumptions will prove to be correct.
Numerous factors could cause Prophecy’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward looking statements, including the following risks and uncertainties, which are discussed in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in Prophecy’s most recent Management Discussion and Analysis and Annual Information Form as filed on SEDAR and posted on Prophecy’s website: Prophecy’s history of net losses and lack of foreseeable cash flow; exploration, development and production risks, including risks related to the development of Prophecy’s Ulaan Ovoo coal property; Prophecy not having a history of profitable mineral production; the uncertainty of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates; the capital and operating costs required to bring Prophecy’s projects into production and the resulting economic returns from its projects; foreign operations and political conditions, including the legal and political risks of operating in Mongolia, which is a developing jurisdiction; title to Prophecy’s mineral properties; environmental risks; the competitive nature of the mining business; lack of infrastructure; Prophecy’s reliance on key personnel; uninsured risks; commodity price fluctuations; reliance on contractors; Prophecy’s minority interest in Prophecy Platinum Ltd.; Prophecy’s need for substantial additional funding and the risk of not securing such funding on reasonable terms or at all; foreign exchange risks; anti-corruption legislation; recent global financial conditions; the payment of dividends; and conflicts of interest.
These factors should be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on the Prophecy’s forward-looking statements. Prophecy believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-
looking statements contained on this page and the documents incorporated by reference herein are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. In addition, although Prophecy has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Prophecy undertakes no obligation to release publicly any future revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date when information on this page is published or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as expressly required by law.
