Opportunities

Drilling and Exploration of Coal

▪ Large number of unexplored mines of

coal, iron ore and bauxite in India present considerable opportunities for future discoveries of sub-surface deposits

▪ Availability of large coal reserve in India and Government's thrust to enhance production

Oil & Gas Exploration

▪ GoI has adopted several policies to address rising

oil demand

▪ 100% FDI in many segments of this sector ▪ OLAP announced by Govt. to reduce country's

dependence on imports

▪ Govt. recently launched OLAP Bid for

International Competitive Bidding – total 21 Blocks are on offer

Drilling and Exploration of Non-coal Minerals

▪ Over 500 non-coal mineral blocks, partially or minimally explored under current leases, are now up for grabs through competitive bidding ▪ Re-allocation of several non-producing blocks of state-run companies, is giving lot of enthuse to private players as many of these blocks have abundant proven resources

▪ Captive leases are allowed to sell the minerals in

open market as per new provisions

Unconventional Sources of Energy

▪ Abundant unconventional sources of energy in

India, most of them unexplored – opening many opportunities in this area

▪ These unconventional sources of energy mainly

include ✓ Geothermal Power ✓ Shale Gas ✓ Coal bed Methane (CBM)

12

Opportunities

Exploration & Mining Opportunities In Oman & Middle East

Infrastructure Projects

▪ Oman Government looking to diversify & reduce dependence on oil revenue and to create jobs for Omani nationals – growth is anticipated in mining sector following discovery of significant reserves of minerals including gold & copper

▪ SWPE entered into JV with renowned

Australian Exploration & Mining company, Alara, in Oman, & started operations in 2018 through this JV

Coal Block for Commercial Mining

▪ GoI recently made an announcement regarding opening up of coal blocks for commercial coal mining by private players

▪ Participated & won such coal block namely

Jogeshwar and Khas Jogeshwari in Jharkhand through forward auction

▪ Process of mine development is underway – this

has great potential & opens up immense opportunity for Company’s growth

▪ Infrastructure sector a key driver for Indian

economy. With Government's impetus to create

infrastructure, demand for steel & cement to

increase, which will help create opportunities for

exploration & mining

Aquifer Mapping & Hydro Geological Services

▪ Rising focus on “aquifer management” due to

importance of groundwater – Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) has taken up National Project on Aquifer Management to formulate sustainable aquifer management plan

▪ CGWB launched aquifer mapping projects across India.

Company expects to benefit from this & get more projects in future

▪ Recent ‘Nal se Jal’ initiative of Government in rural

India also opening up new opportunities

13

Operations in Oman

SWPEL entered into JV Agreement with Alara Resources, a well known Australian exploration & mining company in 2018

JV has been awarded an 11 year copper mining contract

Started Mining operations in February 2022

$125 mn. Contract Value over 11 years

Rationale

▪ Oman is the second largest country after Saudi Arabia in Gulf Cooperation Council region with huge resources of copper, Gold, Silver, Chromite, Lead, Nickel, Manganese and Zinc. These reserves are highly undeveloped due to preference for oil sector growth

In 2014 Omani Government decided to diversify & reduce dependence on oil reserves & created public authority under Ministry of Commerce and Industry named Mining Development Oman (MDO) to regulate & expand mining activities, & to strengthen private sector involvement & investment in this sector

The move would also generate employment opportunities for Omani nationals

Coal Block Acquisition

Govt. Impetus On Coal Production

▪ Government of India recently allowed commercial coal mining by private

players to cater to ever-increasing coal demand in India

Private players now free to sell coal in open market after winning coal block by going through auction process

SWPE recently won a commercial coal block for commercial coal mining in the state of Jharkhand

Total Geological block area - 2.66 Sq. Km.

Est. Geo reserves 84 MT

Grade of the coal Block: W-IV

▪ Government is putting more & more coal blocks for auction regularly for faster development of mines by private players to accelerate coal production

▪ Government of India has targeted to accelerate pace of coal production so

as to reach 1 billion ton level by 2024

▪ Ministry of Coal has reengineered & simplified Mining plan preparation & approval process & is facilitating private players by providing single window clearance besides other industry-friendly measures to attract investment in this sector

Company’s decision to enter into coal mining is considering above industry- friendly decisions taken by the Government

Process for clearances and Mine development activities has commenced

Planned to start coal production within next 30 months

Industry Overview

Coal as an Energy Source

India has estimated geological coal reserves of 344 Billion Tons

Total coal production in India at present is around 729 Million Tons per Annum

Coal continues to be biggest energy source – over 70% of power generation comes from coal-based plants presently

Coal is preferred source of energy due to its’ abundant availability & affordability

Present Market Scenario of Coal

There is a gap in demand and supply of coal globally, affecting power generation by thermal plants

China facing severe power problems due to shortage of coal, making coal prices skyrocket

To accelerate coal production, Ministry of coal set up committee to review/benchmark timelines in execution of coal Mining projects including tendering process

By 2029-30, total installed capacity of power generation is estimated to be more than double

Coal supports many non-power industries as well viz. Cement, Fertilizer, Sponge Iron, Aluminum & host of other industries in organized & unorganized sector

Government of India has targeted to enhance coal production by 25% to 30% in three years

Government of India putting all-out efforts to enhance coal supplies & carrying out various policy changes
