3. I. Coal Facts
● Almost half of the world’s additional energy demand over the past
10 years was provided by coal
3Source: IEA World Energy Outlook 2011

4. ● Coal provides 30% of global primary energy needs
● Coal-fired power plants generate 41% of the world’s electricity (more than
any other fuel)
● Coal is a vital resource for industry as needed to produce 68% of the
world’s steel

6. II. Lessons from Other Coal Markets
● Coal provides a significant direct contribution to
economic development at local level, particularly in
developing countries
– Source of foreign hard currency earnings (from coal export)
– Way to save import costs
● Energy is central to sustainable development and
poverty reduction efforts
– Millennium Development Goals are not fully achievable without
clean, reliable and affordable energy from coal

7. II. Lessons from Other Coal Markets
7
Example from Hunter Valley, Australia
● Australian coal mining is now a blend of both the
traditional extractive industry and the new era of high-
tech knowledge-based economic activities
● Coal mining helps make Singleton - in the geographic
heart of the Hunter Valley - one of Australia's richest
locations:
– Average wage is A$48,000
– Contributes A$2.5 billion from coal, tourism and other industries
to the economy
– Population 22,500

8. III. Key Factors for a Sustainable World Class
Coal Mining Industry
Sustainable coal mining means mining coal safely, profitably and in
socially and environmentally responsible ways, over a long period of
time so that the resource benefits not just this generation, but
generations to come as well.
Industry and company responsibilities to meet this goal:
● Adhere to world class standards and techniques in safety,
operations, environment and social responsibility
● Ensure the right mix of expertise, leadership, management,
reputation and financing
● Ensure best in class techniques to increase productivity and
resource recovery
● Continue advancing clean coal technologies
● Extract greater value from coals through coal conversion

9. Government’s responsibility:
● Provide a predictable, stable, and smart policy framework. Both on
the regulatory and tax policy aspects so as to guide development
and use of coal to reduce electricity production costs and minimize
environmental pollution
● Develop an infrastructure platform such that several reserves and
deposits can leverage this in order to avoid duplication and minimize
the environmental footprint
● Encourage through incentives a healthy relationship between
government, private sector, suppliers and contractors across the
value chain, universities and research institutes, and labor unions
● Ensure benefits flow to the community and GoM budget should
invest more in public goods that benefit all levels of the population

Admired” and “Forbes 400 Platinum List”
company

12. Peabody’s Approach to Coal Resource
Development
● Peabody has core competencies to share with
global partners:
– Best-in-class safety practices
– World-class mining expertise
– Proven record of environmental
stewardship
– Record of safety, environmental and
corporate leadership
– Global leadership in clean coal solutions
● Sharing these competencies could
have significant benefits for Mongolia:
– Improved safety practices
– Better utilization and recovery of resources

14. World Class Open-Cut Mining Expertise
● Peabody is the largest
producer of open-cut mined
coal in North America
– 89% of Peabody’s volumes
sold were from open-cut mines
– 148 million tons were produced from
Peabody’s three mines in the Southern
Powder River Basin
– 20 open-cut mines in operation globally
● Peabody optimizes production
using multiple mining methods
– Cast blasting
– Draglines with dozer assist
– Truck and shovel with dozer assist
● Surface operations typically recover 90% to 96% of the coal resource
● Open-cut mines in the U.S. are commercially viable and competitive at stripping ratios of up
to 20:1
14

15. World Class Underground Mining Expertise
● Approximately 11% of Peabody’s
tons sold are from 10 underground
mines
● Peabody utilizes a wide range of
underground mining methods,
depending on the geology:
– Longwall mining
– Continuous miners with battery or
cable shuttle cars for longwall
development
– Continuous miner “super sections,”
i.e., two continuous miners and four
to seven battery cars for room and pillar mining
– Mobile roof supports and continuous miners for pillar extraction
● Peabody extracts coal from underground seams ranging in thickness from 40 inches
to 12 feet
● Peabody strives for maximum resource recovery and coal preparation plan yields with
results dependent on geology and customer requirements
– Peabody is the largest user of ash analyzers to monitor and blend coal quality among coal
companies in North America
– Peabody uses proprietary software to monitor, optimize and blend coal qualities

16. Record of Safety, Environmental and
Corporate Leadership
● Seven safety awards and 12+
employees honored
● Six environmental awards in
U.S., Australia and Asia
● U.S. Foreign Policy Association

18. Global Leadership in
Advancing Clean Coal Solutions
Peabody’s objectives:
● Work to eliminate energy poverty by ensuring that at least half of
new generation is fuelled by coal
● Replace 1,000 gigawatts of traditional coal plants with efficient,
advanced coal technologies
● Develop at least 100 major Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
projects around the world within the next ten years. This
complements the International Energy Association’s goal of
deploying more than 2,000 projects by mid-century
● Deploy significant coal-to-gas, coal-to-chemicals and coal-to-liquids
projects globally in the next decade, reducing our overdependence
on oil and natural gas
● Commercialize next generation of clean coal technologies to
achieve near-zero emissions
