During the Exclusivity Period Target must not, and must ensure that each of its Representatives do not, except with the prior written consent of Bidder, enter into, continue or participate in negotiations or discussions with, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, any Third Party in relation to, or which may potentially lead to a Competing Proposal, even if:

(a) the Competing Proposal was not directly or indirectly solicited, invited, facilitated, encouraged or initiated by Target or any of its Representatives; or

(b) the Competing Proposal has been publicly announced,

unless the Target Board, acting in good faith and in order to satisfy what the Target Board reasonably considers to be its fiduciary or statutory duties, determines that, where there is a Competing Proposal, the Competing Proposal is a Superior Proposal but only if that Competing Proposal was not directly or indirectly solicited, invited, facilitated, encouraged or initiated by Target or any of its Representatives in a manner that would breach its obligations under this clause 9.3 or clauses 9.2 or 9.4.

9.4 No due diligence

Without limiting the general nature of clause 9.3, during the Exclusivity Period, Target must not, and must ensure that each of its Representatives do not, except with the prior written consent of Bidder, make available to any Third Party (other than to Bidder or any of its Representatives) or permit any such Third Party to receive any non-public information relating to Target or any of its Related Bodies Corporate in connection with such Third Party formulating, developing or finalising, or assisting in the formulation, development or finalisation of, a Competing Proposal, unless:

(a) the Target Board, acting in good faith and in order to satisfy what the Target Board reasonably considers to be its fiduciary or statutory duties, determines that, where there is a Competing Proposal, the Competing Proposal is a Superior Proposal but only if that Competing Proposal was not directly or indirectly solicited, invited, facilitated, encouraged or initiated by Target or any of its Representatives in a manner that would breach its obligations under this clause 9.4 or clauses 9.2 or 9.3; and

(ii) it proposes to take any action of a kind that would breach its obligations under clauses 9.3 or 9.4 (or that would breach its obligations under clauses 9.3 or 9.4 if it were not for the provisos to the relevant clause), unless (and only to the extent that) the Target Board, acting reasonably and in good faith, determines that it would be a breach of its fiduciary or statutory duties to so notify Bidder.

page 35

(b) If the Target Board receives a Superior Proposal, and as a result proposes to publicly change or withdraw its statement that it considers the Transaction to be in the best interests of Target Shareholders and/or its recommendation that Target Shareholders vote in favour of all resolution(s) to be proposed at the Scheme Meeting to approve the Scheme, the Target Board must give Bidder 5 clear Business Days notice (such notice to be in writing) of such proposed change or withdrawal, and provide to Bidder all material terms of the applicable Competing Proposal, including details of the proposed price or implied value (including details of the consideration if not simply cash), conditions, timing and break fee (if any). Target will ask the person who has made the applicable Competing Proposal (the Competing Party) for their consent to their name being provided by Target to Bidder on a confidential basis. Target will have no obligation to disclose the identity of the Competing Party to Bidder if the Competing Party does not consent to such disclosure.

(c) During the period of 5 clear Business Days referred to in clause 9.5(b), Bidder will have the right to make a new proposal or propose a revision to the Transaction (a Bidder Counterproposal) so that the new proposal or revised Transaction (as applicable) would provide a superior outcome for the Target Shareholders than the applicable Competing Proposal.

(d) The Target Board must consider any such Bidder Counterproposal and if the Target Board, acting in good faith, determines that:

(i) the Bidder Counterproposal would provide a superior outcome for the Target Shareholders than the applicable Competing Proposal (it being acknowledged that the price or value implied by the Bidder Counterproposal does have to be above, but does not have to be materially above, the price or value implied by the applicable Competing Proposal for the Target Board to consider the Bidder Counterproposal in relation to price to be superior); and

(ii) the other terms and conditions of the Bidder Counterproposal taken as a whole are not less favourable than those in the applicable Competing Proposal,

then Bidder must publicly announce and take all reasonable steps to effect the new proposal or variations of the Transaction (as applicable) that are necessary to reflect the Bidder Counterproposal (including any amendments to the amount of the Scheme Consideration), enter into any necessary agreements to give effect to those variations, and implement the Bidder Counterproposal, in each case as soon as reasonably practicable.

Offer Summary

Felix Resources Limited (“Felix”) is pleased to announce the proposed acquisition of all of the outstanding shares in Felix by Yanzhou Coal Mining Company Limited (“Yanzhou”) via a scheme of arrangement (“the Offer”). On completion of the Offer, shareholders will have received:

• a cash payment of A$16.95 per share;

• the payment of dividends totaling A$1.00 per share, funded primarily from Felix’s cash reserves;

• as part of the A$1.00 per share in total dividends, Felix is today declaring a fully franked dividend of A$0.50 per share to be paid to shareholders in respect of the year ended 30 June 2009. This dividend will be paid on 30 October 2009 with a record date of 15 October 2009, and;

• The record date for the second dividend of A$0.50 will be determined and announced to the market closer to completion.

• an in-specie distribution of shares in SACC which will have a cash backing of A$0.05 per share and coal and mineral exploration tenements in South Australia.

To the extent that Felix does not have sufficient cash reserves to pay the remainder of the dividends, Yanzhou will guarantee the payment within 3 months of the scheme implementation date.

The total value received by Felix Shareholders for every Felix share represents a 28.5% premium to the 3 month VWAP¹.

In assessing the value of the offer, it is recognised that the current share price of Felix has been impacted by recent market speculation of potential corporate activity, including press reports of Yanzhou’s interest directly.

The Felix Board of Directors believes that the Offer is in the best interests of shareholders. The Directors unanimously recommend that Felix shareholders vote in favour of the Offer. Each of the Directors intends to vote in favour of the Offer at the scheme meeting in relation to the Felix shares held or controlled by them. The Directors recommendation and intention to vote on the Offer is subject to:

• the Independent Expert concluding that the Scheme of Arrangement is in the best interests of Felix shareholders; and

• there being no Superior Offer.

Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions including the approval by regulatory authorities in Australia and the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) as well as approval by both Felix and Yanzhou shareholders.

An Explanatory Memorandum containing information relating to the Offer and the reasons for the Directors recommendation of the Offer is expected to be dispatched to Felix shareholders in late September. Felix’s shareholder meeting to approve the scheme of arrangement is expected to be held in mid-December 2009.

Chairman of Felix, Mr Travers Duncan said: “The proposed transaction is an important milestone for Felix shareholders. Since the acquisition of White Mining in April 2005, Felix has met a number of significant development milestones and delivered more than a six fold increase in value for shareholders

¹ Based on the 3 month VWAP of $14.01 between 8 May 2009 and 7 August 2009.

2

“The Yanzhou offer allows shareholders to benefit from the certainty of cash consideration which fully values Felix, without taking on the risks associated with Felix’s next phase of growth

“Given Yanzhou’s global experience and expertise in coal mining, we believe that Yanzhou is well positioned to continue Felix’s development to the benefit of all stakeholders, including their commitment to maintain and possibly expand employee numbers. In addition, Felix will continue to be headquartered in Australia and will continue to generate substantial economic benefits for the economy for many years to come

“Both Felix and Yanzhou recognise that the Offer is subject to a range of regulatory and shareholder approvals in Australia and China and, fully respecting those processes, both companies will work constructively with authorities at all times.

“Both companies recognise the importance of this transaction and its potential to deliver significant employment and economic benefits,” Mr Duncan said.

Key conditions and funding

Key conditions contained within the Scheme Implementation Agreement between Felix and Yanzhou include:

• Foreign Investment Review Board (“FIRB”) approval;

• PRC Government approvals, including the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”), the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (“SASAC”), State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) and National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”);

• Any necessary ASIC and ASX approval;

• ‘Spin-off’ by Felix of SACC;

• The independent expert concludes the scheme is in the best interest of shareholders;

• No other material transactions or prescribed occurrences;

• No material adverse changes impacting the value of Felix, its assets and operations;

• Yanzhou shareholder approval;

• Felix shareholder approval;

• Final approval from Yanzhou’s banks; and

• Court approval of the scheme.

The summary terms and conditions of the Offer are set out in the Attachment.

Yanzhou has indicated that the Offer will be financed from its existing cash resources (approximately A$1.8 billion as at 30 June 2009) and bank debt.

SACC is currently a subsidiary of Felix and owns 100% of the Lake Phillipson exploration projects which include a coal deposit and is also prospective for other minerals.

Shareholders will also receive from Felix cash dividends totaling A$1.00 per share (being the A$0.50 dividend declared today and a special dividend of A$0.50 payable to shareholders no later than 3 months after implementation of the transaction). Felix also proposes to make an in-specie distribution of shares in Felix’s subsidiary South Australian Coal Corp (SACC) with a cash backing of A$0.05 per share.

2. Conditions Precedent

f) no Material Transaction occurs, including an issue of debentures, constitutional amendments, disposal of shares (other than in relation to the in-specie distribution of the shares in SACC), incurring of financial indebtedness other than in the ordinary course of business or as disclosed, making capital contributions (other than in relation to the in-specie distribution of the shares in SACC) and making material changes to joint venture agreements;

6. Break Fees

Felix and Yanzhou have agreed that a break fee of A$33.3 million (“Break Fee”) will be payable in the following circumstances:

a) Felix will pay the Break Fee to Yanzhou if:

i. in the period up to implementation (or termination) of the Scheme, any Felix director fails to state that the transaction is in the best interests of Felix shareholders or publicly changes or withdraws their recommendation, or a Competing Proposal is recommended by a majority of the Felix Board;

ii. a Competing Proposal is announced or made before the expiry of the Exclusivity Period, and is completed before the first anniversary of the SIA, as a result of which a third party acquires a Relevant Interest and/or economic interest in at least 20% of the shares in Felix; or

iii. the SIA is terminated by Yanzhou because of Felix’s material breach or breach of Felix’s exclusivity obligations (discussed in section 7 below); and

b) Yanzhou will pay the Break Fee to Felix if Felix terminates the SIA because of Yanzhou’s material breach or where Yanzhou fails to obtain financing required to fund the transaction.

A Competing Proposal is, in summary, any proposal by a third party to acquire 20% or more of the shares (or a 20% economic interest) in Felix, or to gain effective control over Felix (by controlling the composition of Felix’s board or the votes attaching to 50% or more of Felix’s shares), or directly or indirectly acquire a significant shareholding or economic interest in the Felix group (not including in relation to the in-specie distribution of SACC shares to Felix shareholders).

7. Exclusivity

Under the SIA, Felix has agreed to the following exclusivity arrangements until implementation (or termination) of the Scheme:

b) (No talk restriction) it will not negotiate or enter into discussions with any Third Party in relation to a Competing Proposal; and

c) (No due diligence) it will not provide any due diligence information for the purposes of enabling a Third Party to make a Competing Proposal.

The ‘no talk’ and ‘no due diligence’ restrictions will not apply to a Competing Proposal that is not solicited in breach of the SIA and that the Felix Board determines, in accordance with its fiduciary or statutory duties, to be a Superior Proposal.

Felix is also required to notify Yanzhou of the details of any approaches made to Felix that may potentially lead to a Competing Proposal. If Felix receives a Superior Proposal, Felix’s Board must provide Yanzhou with a 5 Business Day period within which Yanzhou can put forward a counterproposal. If Felix’s Board decides that such counterproposal produces a superior outcome for the Felix shareholders than the Competing Proposal, then the counterproposal will be implemented.
