Kestrel Royalty Update
Anglo Pacific Group PLC ("Anglo Pacific", the "Company" or the
"Group") (LSE: APF, TSX: APY), the London and Toronto listed
royalty company, provides the following update in relation to its
Kestrel royalty.
The Company has received notification from Rio Tinto of the
invoiced payable tonnes for Q2 2016 which, along with the amounts
already received in Q1 2016, means that sales from the Group's
private royalty lands in H1 2016 will be in the range of 35-40%.
This represents a significant increase on the previously guided
range of 20-25%. The Group's guidance for 2016 remains unchanged at
60-65%, although the latest information suggests that this could be
at the upper end of this range.
The latest information also includes the forecast for Q2 2017
for the first time, which is in line with our expectations. We
continue to guide that over 90% of production will be within the
Group's private royalty lands by the end of 2017. This, along with
both the recent weakening of the pound against the Australian
dollar and an increase in the coking coal benchmark contract price
so far in 2016, should have a positive impact on the Group's
reported royalty income.
This announcement is inside information for the purposes of
Article 7 of Regulation 596/2014.

necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that,
while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject

of such underlying properties; accuracy of the information provided
to the Group by the owners and operators of such underlying
properties; no material adverse change in the price of the
commodities produced from the properties underlying the Group's
portfolio of royalties and investments; no material adverse change
in foreign exchange exposure; no adverse development in respect of
any property in which the Group holds a royalty or other interest,
including but not limited to unusual or unexpected geological
