Q1 2013 Trading Update and Q2 2013 Prices

New World Resources Plc ('NWR' or the 'Company') announces that it has reached agreements with its customers for coking coal, thermal coal and coke prices for the second quarter of 2013. The Company also announces production and sales volumes for the first quarter of 2013.

Q1 2013 operating update

Below is a brief overview of the Company's key production and sales indicators for Q1 2013. NWR will publish its results for the first quarter of 2013 on Thursday 16 May 2013, when further information will be provided.

The average EUR/CZK FX rate in Q1 2013 was 25.6.

The difficult trading environment has negatively impacted the operating performance year to date. Management is working on efficiency and cost reduction measures to mitigate these negative trends. As a result, the 2013 full year guidance as announced on 21 February 2013 cannot be re-iterated. NWR will inform the market about any such measures and revised targets in a timely manner.

The Company will present its Q1 2013 results on Thursday 16 May 2013.

Q2 2013 coking coal pricing

The average agreed price of coking coal for deliveries in the second quarter of 2013 is EUR 104 per tonne, a 3 per cent increase compared to the first calendar quarter 2013 realised price.

This average coking coal price is based on the expectation that coking coal sales for the second quarter 2013 will be split approximately 39 per cent hard coking coal (mid-volatility), 52 per cent semi-soft coking coal and 9 per cent PCI coking coal.

Q2 2013 coke pricing

The average agreed price for coke deliveries in the second quarter of 2013 is EUR 246 per tonne, flat on the first quarter 2013 realised price.

The average coke price is based on the expectation of the second quarter 2013 sales to be approximately 66 per cent foundry coke, 23 per cent blast furnace coke and 11 per cent other types.

2013 thermal coal pricing

As announced earlier, an average price of EUR 60 per tonne has been concluded for 2013 thermal coal deliveries. This average thermal coal price is based on the expectation that thermal coal sales for the full year 2013 will be split approximately 80 per cent thermal coal and 20 per cent middlings.

Approximately 80 per cent of the thermal coal prices have been concluded on the basis of the yearly pricing, while a quarterly pricing period has been applied to approximately 20 per cent of deliveries.

The average blended price expected for all thermal coal deliveries in the second quarter of 2013 is EUR 59 per tonne.

Notice

All prices are expressed as blended averages between the different qualities both for coal and coke and are ex-works.

All of the announced prices are indicative prices, and are based on an exchange rate of EUR/CZK of 25.0. A range of factors including, but not limited to, exchange rate fluctuations, quality mix, timing of the deliveries and flexible provisions in the individual agreements, may influence final realised prices. The actual realised price for the period may therefore differ from the average prices announced.
