NWR Trading Update and Q3 2011 Prices

New World Resources Plc ('NWR' or the 'Company') announces that it has reached agreements with its customers for coking coal and coke sales for the third calendar quarter of 2011. The Company also announces production and sales volumes for the second quarter of 2011.

Performance update

NWR will publish its results for the period ended 30 June 2011 on 24 August 2011 when further information will be provided. Below is a brief overview of a number of the Company's key performance indicators for Q2 2011 as well as H1 2011. These figures are unaudited estimates and subject to change.

NWR reiterates its full year 2011 production and sales targets. The Company remains on track to produce 11Mt of coal and 800kt of coke.

As previously announced NWR expects to externally sell 10.3Mt of coal, evenly split between coking and thermal coal, and 720kt of coke in FY 2011.

Coking coal pricing

Starting April 2011, 100% of our coking coal sales are priced on a quarterly basis.

The average agreed price of coking coal for delivery in the third calendar quarter of 2011 is EUR 192 per tonne, a decrease of 9% compared to the second quarter realised price, in line with lower international prices both for hard and semi-soft coking coal.

The above price average is based on the expectation that coking coal sales for Q3 2011 will be evenly split between semi-soft coking coal and hard coking coal.

Coke pricing

The average price agreed for coke sales during the third calendar quarter of 2011 is EUR 378 per tonne, a decrease of 4% compared to the second quarter realised price, as a result of lower prices for both foundry and blast furnace coke in the European market.

The above price average is based on the expectation of Q3 2011 sales to be approximately 13% blast furnace coke, 70% foundry coke and 17% other types.

Thermal coal pricing

As previously announced, the average price agreed for thermal coal sales for the calendar year 2011 is unchanged at EUR 71 per tonne, 13% higher than the 2010 average realised price.

All of the announced prices are based on an exchange rate of CZK/EUR of 24.30. Prices are expressed as blended averages between the different qualities both for coal and coke and are ex works.

Average prices announced are indicative prices. 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. Thus the actual realised price for the period may therefore differ from the average prices announced. The indicated expected sales volumes can be influenced by the production structure as well as by the sales structure and individual quality assortment delivered to customers.
