Coal"). 


David Austin, Colonial Coal's President and CEO, is pleased to report that the
City of Prince Rupert has recently issued the following news release which
provides for an update on the Company's Watson Island Project: 




                            CITY OF PRINCE RUPERT                           
                                                                            
                                NEWS RELEASE                                
                              August 29th, 2013                             



The City of Prince Rupert has settled out of court with Sun Wave Forest Products
Ltd. all the litigation pending and any future claims on the City of Prince
Rupert. 


This settlement involves the dismissal of three separate claims and subsequent
appeals made against the City of Prince Rupert by Sun Wave Forest Products Ltd.
This litigation has taken many years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to
adjudicate. The legal and other expenses have been paid by Watson Island
Development Corporation (WatCo) to support the City as part of their agreement
for sale for Watson Island. 


Although the settlement is confidential the City of Prince Rupert will not pay
Sun Wave Forest Products Ltd. any City money and will work to decommission the
mill over the next 24 to 30 months. The City now has clear title to the old pulp
mill site and can work toward completing a sales agreement with WatCo. (a
consortium of local First Nations and Colonial Coal International Corp.). WatCo
intends to repurpose the mill as a private multi modal port using the land and
docking facilities to service the coming industrial activity in the Prince
Rupert region. An overall environmental remediation plan will be sought from the
Province of British Columbia and the site will be remediated as the mill site is
decommissioned. 


"This is excellent news" said Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem, "the private
sector can now move on with repurposing Watson Island resulting in numerous
jobs, while the mill is decommissioned. Congratulations are in order for our new
City Manager, Robert Long, who has taken on this complicated file and found a
workable solution that is good for Prince Rupert." 


City Manager, Robert Long commented, "I would like to thank Mayor and Council
for their patience and the trust they have placed with the staff to end this
long legal dispute." 


The City will, in conjunction with other parties, make arrangements to
decommission the pulp mill and sell the equipment and scrap metal on site. As
part of the sales agreement with WatCo it is anticipated, given the constant
inquiries, that the private sector is keen to obtain a contract to decommission
the pulp mill." 


The Company will continue to keep its shareholders and public apprised of all
material events and facts that arise as it continues to develop its Watson
Island Project in conjunction with its First Nations partners and the City of
Prince Rupert.
