TORONTO, ONTARIO – Marketwired - August 5, 2021: Buffalo Coal Corp. announces that the Republic
of South Africa’s (“South Africa”) Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (the “DMRE”) granted an
official Environmental Authorisation to Zinoju Coal Proprietary Limited (“Zinoju”) on the 22nd of July 2021
for the Balgray project (“Balgray”). The Environmental Authorisation has been granted in terms of the
Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) Regulations (GNR 326), promulgated under the National
Environmental Management Act (“NEMA”), 1998 (Act 107 of 1998).

In accordance with Regulation 4(2)(b) of the EIA’s regulations, appeals may be lodged against the DMRE’s

“The granting of this environmental authorisation is a positive development, bringing the Company one
step closer to the successful execution of Balgray. Balgray is the highest priority project in Buffalo Coal’s
current project pipeline and will extend the Company’s operations at Aviemore by approximately 6-7
years.”, commented Emma Oosthuizen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
