AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

This Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”), dated as of the 29th day of December 2006, by and between KAL Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“KAL”), and Thatcher Mining Pte. Ltd., a company incorporated in Singapore (“Thatcher”), with reference to the following:

A.

KAL is a Delaware corporation organized on February 21, 2001.  KAL has authorized capital stock of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“KAL Common Stock”).  Of such shares, 46,875,272 shares of KAL Common Stock are issued and outstanding.

B.

Thatcher is a privately held corporation organized under the laws of Singapore on June 8, 2006.  Thatcher is authorized to issue only one class of stock.  Thatcher has authorized capital stock of eight (8) ordinary shares, S$1.00 par value per share (“Thatcher Common Stock”).  Of such shares, eight (8) shares of Thatcher Common Stock are issued and outstanding.

C.

The respective Boards of Directors of KAL and Thatcher have deemed it advisable and in the best interests of KAL and Thatcher and their respective shareholders that, contingent upon approval by shareholders holding 100% of the outstanding stock of Thatcher, all currently outstanding shares of Thatcher be acquired by KAL, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement

D.

KAL and Thatcher propose to enter into this Agreement which provides, among other things, that all of the outstanding shares of Thatcher Common Stock be acquired by KAL, in exchange for 32,000,000 shares of KAL Common Stock and such additional items as more fully described in the Agreement.

E.

The parties desire the transaction to qualify as a taxable stock purchase pursuant to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
THE ACQUISITION

1.01

At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 2.01), subject to the terms and conditions herein, all of the shares of Thatcher Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be acquired by KAL in exchange for 32,000,000 fully paid and nonassessable shares of KAL Common Stock (the exchange of all shares of Thatcher Common Stock for KAL Common Stock shall constitute the “Exchange”).  The KAL Common Stock shall be issued to the shareholders of Thatcher and/or their nominees in the amounts set forth on a list provided by Thatcher to KAL.  In addition, at the Effective Time, KAL shall pay the shareholders of Thatcher and/or their nominees the sum of US$10,000.

1.02

As of the Effective Time, each outstanding stock certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represents shares of Thatcher Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence ownership and to represent the number of shares of KAL Common Stock for which such shares of Thatcher Common Stock have been exchanged pursuant to Section 1.01.  The record holder

of each outstanding certificate representing shares of Thatcher Common Stock shall, after the Effective Time, be entitled to vote the KAL Common Stock for which such shares of Thatcher Common Stock have been exchanged on any matters on which the holders of the KAL Common Stock are entitled to vote.  After the Effective Time, the holders of certificates evidencing outstanding shares of Thatcher Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall deliver such certificates of Thatcher Common Stock, duly endorsed so as to make KAL the sole holder thereof, free and clear of all claims, and encumbrances and KAL shall deliver a transmittal letter to the transfer agent of KAL directing the issuance of the KAL Common Stock to the shareholders of Thatcher and/or their nominees.  Any shares of KAL Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement will not be transferable except (a) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or (b) upon receipt by KAL of a written opinion of counsel for the holder reasonably satisfactory to KAL to the effect that the proposed transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act, and relevant state securities laws.  Restrictive legends shall be placed on all certificates representing KAL Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement, and the shares of KAL Common Stock into which they may be converted, as set forth in Section 11.02.

In the event any certificate for Thatcher Common Stock has been lost, stolen or destroyed, KAL shall issue and pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, promptly following its receipt of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such shares of KAL Common Stock as may be required pursuant to this Agreement.

1.03

Following the Effective Time, there will be a total of 78,875,272 shares of KAL Common Stock issued and outstanding.
