4 Page 4 of 22 Dear Participant RE: PROFICIENCY TESTING RESULTS FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY 2018 Thank you for your participation in the Coal Concepts proficiency testing scheme. Your laboratory code is All results are totally confidential. Any results in Bold, Italics and Underlined are outliers. Where applicable, the most extreme outliers have been eliminated from calculations using the Grubbs estimate for outliers. Robust statistics has been applied where possible. Analysis results have been reported on air dry and dry base. The dry base results have been used to calculate the z-scores. Please take note of the following: 1. Z-scores between -1 and +1 is deemed acceptable 2. Z-scores between -2 and -3 should serve as a warning that the analysis result could get worse 3. Z-scores between +2 and +3 should also serve as a warning that analysis results could get worse. 4. Z- scores lower than -3 and exceeding +3 should warrant an investigation 5. Compare your result to the robust average which will be the assigned value. The measurement of uncertainty (UoM) of the results is also stated. 6. All calculations can be made available upon request The Coal Concepts scheme adheres to the requirements of ISO/IEC 17043:2010 Conformity assessment General requirements for proficiency testing. Statistical analysis has been carried out using ISO/IEC 13528:2015-Statistical methods for use in proficiency testing by interlaboratory comparisons Please find results attached together with Z-score trends.

6 Page 6 of TYPE OF SAMPLE USED The coal used in this proficiency testing round was anthracitic coal from a mine in Kwa Zulu Natal 2. PREPARATION OF SAMPLE Approximately 800kg s of sample with an approximate topsize of 50mm was sourced. This was crushed to -4mm using a jaw crusher. The -4mm material was reduced to -212um using a cross beat pulveriser. The 212 material was sieved using a 212um screen. Any +212um material was pulverised and sieved until all material passed through the 212 um sieve. All the -212um material was then mixed in a 500 litre mixing drum for 4 hours. 3. HOMOGENEITY CHECK There were 108 participants in this round, 20 portions of sample were randomly extracted from the 800kg sample. These were packaged in their final form i.e. in 200ml sample bottles. The bottles were labelled 1 to 20. The results were as follows: SAMPLE NO.

Three outliers were detected, which seemed to be due to analytical errors and swopped samples 2. The overall ISO volatile determination trend indicated an almost even z-score trend. Six outliers were detected, which seemed to be due to analytical errors and swopped samples. 3. Calorific value trend has a negative bias. This is due to laboratories reporting generally lower results than the average value 4. Sulphur determination had three outliers. These could be due to calibration problems or swopped samples 5. Phosphorous trending positively distributed. The mean, median and robust average compared well indicating that extreme results did not affect the centralised value. 6. One extreme outlier was detected for Carbon analysis, most probably due to poor calibration. Hydrogen and Nitrogen were well done 7. AFT was generally well done. Outliers were detected at the various stages. Laboratories that had outliers should look check staff training. 8. Assessment criterion for homogeneity check (From ISO 13528, page 45) 8.1 Comparison of the between sample standard deviation with the standard deviation for proficiency testing Standard deviation for ISO ash =0.08 Check value = 0.08 x 0.3 = Between sample standard deviation = The between standard deviation is less than the check value for the criterion assessment for homogeneity, therefore homogeneity is established.
22 Page 22 of 22 COAL CONCEPTS: Terms and Conditions Return of results: Laboratories participate in proficiency testing programs on the understanding that they will be sharing their results and information anonymously with other laboratories performing the same analysis. No return of results compromises the spirit of the programs, and reports will not be sent to laboratories unless they return results. Payment in full is required from all laboratories enrolling whether they return results or not. Errors in Participant Proficiency Testing Results: Proficiency testing reports should reflect the level of accuracy that a regular testing client would receive. If a participant finds an error in their proficiency testing results, they may notify us in writing and change their submission PRIOR to the due date for return. Changes after this time will not be accepted. Coal Concepts reports results as submitted by participants. On occasion, it seems as though participants have mixed up the samples or not processed the samples according to the instructions. Coal Concepts cannot make assumptions of this nature and change results 'to suit'. We also cannot compromise the integrity of the programs by suggesting to some participants that they should review their results prior to the due date. (This is unfair to other participants) It is the responsibility of the participants to check all aspects of the program, including sample identification, preparation, testing instructions, calculations and reporting of the results prior to results submission. If samples are not in good condition on arrival to the participant laboratory, Coal Concepts must be notified in writing IMMEDIATELY, as often samples can be replaced in good time. Claims about samples received in bad condition will not be accepted after the report has been issued. Late Enrolments and Late Results: Late enrolment requests cannot always be accommodated, as sample manufacture must be scheduled well in advance to the shipping date of the program to allow all necessary quality assurance activities to be carried out. Shipping of PT materials and evaluating test results from PTPs out of cycle with the mainstream programs is considerably time consuming and therefore costly. In order not to disadvantage participants able to comply with time frames, Coal Concepts may charge a late fee in the following circumstances: Requests that Coal concepts staff enters results on behalf of participants Requests to record results after the due date Requests for PTP participation that is out of cycle with the scheduled dates Shipping fees and Customs clearance: Costs incurred for shipping samples and clearance of same through customs are the responsibility of the participating laboratory unless otherwise indicated Non-payment of fees: Coal Concepts retains the right to withhold reports and/or test materials and services when invoices are outstanding. Confidentiality of results: All data and information received by Coal Concepts from its clients are considered confidential unless the client has given express permission to pass on information. Definitions: The dictionary definitions of collusion and falsification are as follows. Collusion: A secret agreement or cooperation for a fraudulent or deceitful purpose. Falsification: Deliberately changing something to be false. In proficiency testing terms, collusion is comparing data (and perhaps changing data) to fit in with a believed correct result. This is contrary to the spirit of proficiency testing programs, which are issued with the intention of providing an objective comparison of a laboratory s performance with others. Coal Concepts tries to minimise the occurrence of collusion by being aware that laboratories should be objective when they report their results, and should therefore not know the intended results at the time they are reporting to us. Answers are not provided to clients until results have been submitted. To prevent collusion and falsification our advice to clients is: DON T confer with others about PT samples or results. DO accept the fact that everyone makes errors. DON T average the results or opinions of every person in the laboratory before selecting the answer to be submitted. Instead, use one of the answers AS SUBMITTED to you and take advantage of the Coal Concepts internal QA services and submit all answers generated by the technicians. DO have confidence in your own results. Proficiency Testing (PT) is a compulsory part of laboratory accreditation, but it is also an important tool for giving you confidence in your results. Enhancing your PT results with assistance from another participant cannot increase confidence in your laboratory s performance. Coal concepts testing staff are not told what the expected results are, nor what we are expecting. We subject ALL results to analysis, even if they are different. The staff have the right to check that the results we enter on their behalf are correctly transcribed. Clients are always welcome to contact Coal Concepts to seek advice or information about collusion or falsification of data. Policy for Participant Appeal of PT Performance Assessment: If participants disagree with their performance assessment in a proficiency report, they should inform Coal Concepts in writing. The response will include Coal Concepts interpretation of the outcome of the reassessment and an explanation of that outcome. (For example, explanation of a calculation, or the rationale for the outcome of the evaluation.) If a mistake has been made by Coal Concepts, it will be dealt with via Coal Concepts non-conformance system. Liability In no event shall a party's liability to the other party for direct damages exceed an amount equal to the value of the amount for the PT Programme, under that specific month End of report
