Tigers Realm Coal

Annual Report 2021

OUR COMPANY

Tigers Realm Coal Limited (Tigers Realm Coal, TIG, or the Company) is an ASX-listed company producing coking and thermal coal from its operations in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (District) on Russia's east coast.

TIG's aim is to become a significant producer of coking coal supplying the seaborne markets in Asia. The Company is focused on the further exploration and development of its high-quality coking coal deposits and is committed to creating sustainable benefits for the communities and region in which it operates.

The Company is developing two coking coal projects. The Amaam North project has been operational for five years supplying unwashed coal products to the North Asian steel and thermal coal markets through our own port at Beringovsky, some 35km from the mining operation. The immediately adjacent Amaam project remains in a pre-development stage. The Amaam basin contains significant resources of quality coking coal and adjoins the site of a potential new deep-water port which, if constructed would allow an extended shipping season together with the direct loading of coal cargo to cape sized vessels.

In 2021, the Company further increased annual production to 1,025kt (2020: 792kt) and annual sales to 911kt (2020: 775kt). TIG also increased transshipment volumes to 885kt, an increase of 125kt over the tonnage achieved in 2020 and a record for the Beringovsky port.

Transshipment was carried out using TIG's four 500-tonne barges. In addition to achieving record loading volumes, TIG further reduced transshipment costs.

Despite supply chain logistics challenges and adverse weather conditions the construction of the first processing module of the CHPP was almost completed in 2021.

Strong operational performance was supported by a significant resurgence of the international coal market. The improved market conditions and further increase in sales volumes more than doubled revenue growth for the period.

During 2022 TIG will be primarily focused on the commissioning of the first processing module of the CHPP and shipment of our first cargoes of semi-hard coking coal ("SHCC") during the 2022 shipping season. TIG expects to receive the 5th 500t barge on site by the start of the 2022 shipping season, that will further increase TIG's annual loading capacity.

The Company's registered office is located in Melbourne, Australia. Management is principally located in our offices in Moscow and on site in Chukotka.

HIGHLIGHTS 2021

Notwithstanding many logistics challenges and unusually adverse weather conditions, the CHPP equipment was fully installed in 2021, and the main building was completed and winterized in the March quarter. Completing the CHPP is central to the next phase of our development strategy. TIG expects

it to come fully online in the June quarter.
