Calgary, AB - February 3, 2014 - CanAm Coal Corp. (TSXV: COE), (OTCQX: COECF) ("CanAm" or the "Company") is pleased to report full year 2013 coal sales of 682,000 tons. This compares to sales of 560,000 tons in the prior year, an increase of 122,000 tons or 22%. This increase is a result of the strength of our long term customer base and the addition of new contracts that the Company obtained in 2013.


Company President and CEO, Jos De Smedt commented: "We are extremely pleased at our ability to grow sales by 22 percent in a very difficult environment for coal producers around the world. We attribute our record success to three important variables, the high quality of our coal, the expansion and loyalty of our great customers, and the dedication of our entire Team. This record growth includes a Q4 that was only up 10% year over year largely due to extended plant maintenance and year-end inventory management with a few of our key customers.

As we enter 2014 we feel very confident that our pattern of record sales and double digit growth will continue into 2014 and beyond. Recent record cold temperatures in our sales market, and pending EPA changes affecting the US power sector bode well for future demand for Canam's high quality coal."

Calgary, AB -- November 28, 2013 -- CanAm Coal Corp. (TSXV: COE) (OTCQX: COECF) ("CanAm" or the "Company") has filed its condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related management discussion and analysis for the period ended September 30, 2013. These Q3 2013 financial statements include a restatement of the comparative Q3 2012 financials which is discussed in detail in the Q3 Management & Discussion Analysis ("MD&A"). Definitions of commonly used non-IFRS financial measures (EBITDA from operations and Free Cash Flow) are included at the end of this press release.

The Company announced today its third quarter 2013 financial results for the period ending September 30, 2013. Revenue, EBITDA from operations and loss for the quarter were $17.9 million, $3.4 million and ($0.9) million respectively as compared to $14.7 million, $3.3 million and ($1.0) million in the prior year. Sales for the quarter were 195,750 tons as compared to 157,900 tons in Q3 2012 or an increase of 24%.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, revenue, EBITDA from operations and loss were $47.3 million, $7.9 million and ($4.3) million respectively as compared to $40.8 million, $7.1 million and ($3.8) million in the prior year. Sales for the six month period were 513,691 tons compared to 405,609 tons in the prior year, an increase of 27%.

As previously discussed, our first and second quarter were mainly considered transition quarters as we migrated the majority of our operations into a new mine complement: Knight, Posey Mill 2 and Old Union 2. Together with our existing Powhatan mine, the productive capacity of this new mine complement is expected to consistently be in the range of 60,000 to 80,000 tons per month. Our mine transition was completed towards the end of Q2 and therefore we were able to run steady state level production at all of our mines during this quarter. As a result, the Company was able to deliver a record quarter of production, revenue, EBITDA and free cash flow. We achieved records at all levels of our operations:


Note: Refer to the definition of EBITDA from operations and Free Cash Flow on the last page of this press release.

With steady state and consistent production at our mines, we are now looking to optimize our cost structure and drive operational efficiencies across all of our mines. In this context, we are also targeting to closely match our production to our projected monthly and quarterly sales in order to minimize coal inventories. Although our costs have been coming down over the last couple of quarters, from $56/ton in Q1 to $51/ton in Q3, we are targeting to bring the average production cost per ton at or below $50/ton.

Third Quarter and YTD 2013 Financial Results


Key quarterly statistics for 2013 and Q3 2012 are as follows:


Note: Operating cash flow is before changes in non-cash working capital

Sales for the quarter were 195,750 tons, an increase of 16% over Q2 2013 sales and 31% over Q1 2013 sales. Record sales of 67,500 tons were achieved in July.
Long term off-take contracts continue to enable the Company to achieve better than market pricing for our high quality coals. Average sales price per ton for Q3 was consistent with prior 2013 quarters. The slightly lower average price as compared to last year is a result of our changing coal mix (i.e. a higher ratio of thermal coal versus metallurgical coal) and the termination of a met coal contract in early 2013.
All of our production is currently committed into our off-take contracts with our customers and we are fully contracted for the remainder of the year.
Average production cost per ton continues to trend down and was $51/ton as compared to $56/ton in Q1 of 2013 or a decrease of 9%. With all mines at steady state production now and with an ongoing focus on operational efficiencies, we are targeting to achieve an average cost per ton of at or below $50/ton. Q3 production costs were unfavorably impacted primarily by higher than anticipated fuel costs, mainly as a result of the spike of WTI oil prices during the third quarter, and higher than anticipated equipment repairs.
Operating cash flow of $2.0 million was double the cash flow achieved in the comparable quarter of 2012.
Investment in equipment and mine development was $1.7 million as compared to $5.2 million in the comparable period last year. On a year to date basis, capital expenditures were $6.6 million through the end of September or less than half of the $14.5 million in expenditures in the comparable prior year period. The Company does not anticipate any significant new equipment purchases for the remainder of the year.
Free cash flow at $1.7 million is significantly up from ($1.9) million in Q3 2012 and from ($0.6) million and $0.2 million in Q1 and Q2 of 2013 and has turned positive following increased EBITDA performance and significantly reduced capital expenditures.
Repayment of equipment financing obligations continues at a healthy pace and through September 30, 2013, the Company repaid $5.7 million of these obligations.
Repaid $0.5 million of our August 2013 debenture and refinanced $0.6 million with a maturity date of May 8, 2014.
Improved our financial flexibility with approximately $3.1 million of undrawn credit facilities.
Reviewing options with respect to the repayment and/or refinancing of all or a portion of the May 2014 debentures.

Company President and CEO, Jos De Smedt commented: "We are extremely pleased with our quarterly results as the hard work of our team to transition from mine development to steady state production at all of our mines is now paying off for our Company. From an operational perspective, record production and sales is certainly evidence that we can operate at these levels at our new mines and, from a financial perspective, our metrics continue to improve. Record EBITDA of $3.4 million and especially record free cash flow of $1.7 million are additional indicators that we will be able to start building our cash position going forward. Also, recently obtained additional credit facility has improved our financial flexibility. We need to continue to build upon this Q3 momentum as we close out 2013 and position ourselves for 2014. With 85+% of our business contracted for in 2014, we are well positioned for a successful 2014. "

Outlook for the remainder of 2013

Although all of our mines are now positioned to produce at optimum levels and all of our 2013 production is committed into our off-take contracts, we anticipate sales for Q4 to be below Q3 levels due to plant maintenance and other factors at three main customers and overall reduced shipping days during the year-end holiday season. These factors are temporary and sales at these customers are expected to revert to normal quarterly levels in January. In this context, for November and December, the Company has taken a decision to scale back production in order to monetize existing inventory levels and match our production to our anticipated sales levels and thus realize production cost savings. Full scale production is expected to resume in January. October production exceeded 70,000 tons.

The Company continues to believe its existing equipment fleet is sufficient for the foreseeable future with its existing mine plan. On this basis, no significant new equipment purchases are planned for the rest of 2013 and possibly all of 2014.

On the basis of the forgoing and the fact that all of 2013 production and the majority of 2014 production has been sold into off-take contracts with our customers, the Company expects to consistently generate free cash flow for the remainder of 2013 and 2014.

EBITDA from operations and Free Cash Flow

Statements throughout this MD&A make reference to EBITDA from operations and Free Cash Flow which are non-IFRS financial measures commonly used by financial analysts in evaluating financial performance of companies, including companies in the mining industry. Accordingly, management believes EBITDA from operations and Free Cash Flow may be a useful metric for evaluating the Company's performance as it is a measure management uses internally to assess performance, in addition to IFRS measures. As there is no generally accepted method of calculating EBITDA from operations and Free Cash Flow, the terms used herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The items excluded from EBITDA from operations and Free Cash Flow are significant in assessing the Company's operating results and liquidity. EBITDA from operations and Free Cash Flow have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, net income or other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA from operations is calculated as income from mining operations plus depreciation, depletion, accretion and amortization less general and administrative costs. Free Cash Flow is calculated as EBITDA from operations less financed and non-financed capital expenditures. Other financial data has been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Wed July 31 2013
Scientific American -reported that although the World Bank and European Investment Bank (EIB) plan to curb their funding of coal-fired power stations, consumption of the fuel is still expected to rise by at least one-third by 2040.

As quoted in the market news:

“The shale gas boom in the United States means record amounts of relatively cheap U.S. coal are now available for export. The EIA says U.S. coal exports were more than 115 million tons in 2012, more than double the 2009 figure.

The European Union is by far the biggest customer for U.S. coal, with exports to the UK alone going up by about 70 percent in 2012.

Meanwhile Germany, the EU’s economic powerhouse and a country often regarded as a leader in cutting CO2 emissions, is gradually upping its coal use.

Coal’s Prospects Looking Good — For Now
Monday August 12, 2013, 4:15am PDT
By Charlotte McLeod - Exclusive to Coal Investing News


The coal industry’s recent troubles are no secret. Australia in particular is struggling as its coal producers cut costs5 and reduce production6, and concern is mounting worldwide as bodies like the United States, World Bank and European Investment Bank withdraw support7 for coal projects.

However, in the past week, three different sources have released encouraging news for coal’s short-term prospects.

Moody’s upgrades US coal outlook

In a report9 titled US Coal Industry Outlook Stabilizes as Business Conditions Hit Bottom, Moody’s Investors Services bumped its outlook for the US coal industry up from negative to stable, stating that although business conditions are still weak, it does not see industry fundamentals “deteriorat[ing] further over the next 12 to 18 months.”

Anna Zubets-Anderson, vice president-senior analyst at Moody’s, commented that the upgrade is a result of the agency’s expectation that “over the next year or so coal-fired power plants will capture roughly 40% of US electricity generation, up from 37% in 2012.” She also noted that until mid-2014 or early 2015, “[s]ustained natural gas10 prices” will hold up demand for thermal coal used to produce power, while metallurgical coal prices should be stabilized by “supply rationalization.”

On a different note, as a result of high mining costs and competition from natural gas, Moody’s sees Central Appalachian coal producers losing market share to companies operating in the Powder River and Illinois basins.

European coal use increasing

Another report11, this one from Frost & Sullivan, is similarly optimistic about coal in Europe. It states that during the last couple of years, coal has “suddenly become popular once again” even though the European Union wants to reduce carbon emissions to 80 percent of their 1990 levels in the next seven years.

In a press release, Harald Thaler, industry director at the company, explains the situation by stating, “[f]irstly, the North American shale gas revolution had a direct impact on the coal market. Rising shale gas output has made the US independent of gas imports and has led to a dramatic decline in the price of natural gas. As North American utilities started to switch away from coal towards cheap natural gas, a growing amount of coal was exported rather than consumed locally. Rising American coal exports also came at a time of slowing Chinese demand, which in combination prompted declines in coal prices. It is not surprising, therefore, that lower coal prices make the fuel much more attractive for European utilities.”

Also contributing to European coal demand is the fact that natural gas prices in the area are “stubbornly high,” meaning that it is cheaper for European utilities to use coal instead. Further, as yet the European Emissions Trading System has not been able to punish coal-burning plants.

Thaler expects that, as in the US, “high” coal usage in Europe will “continue for several more years.” After that, the future is less certain. That’s because beyond the “considerable” number of coal plants set to come online late this year and in 2014, there are not many coal plants on order. Poland, Turkey and the Balkans are the most likely builders, but currently there are no guarantees that they will go down that path.

2020 cut off for thermal coal

Driving home the point that coal may start on a downward slide not far into the future is a recent research paper12 by Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS13). It outlines the firm’s belief that “[e]arning a return on incremental investment in thermal coal mining and infrastructure is becoming increasingly difficult,” noting that three main factors are weighing heavily on thermal coal. Those are:

1.Environmental regulations that discourage coal-fired power generation.
2.Competition from gas and renewable energy14.
3.Improved energy efficiency.
Goldman believes that in the next 10 years or so, those factors will likely cause weaker demand and oversupply, pushing prices lower and threatening the viability of growth projects. Specifically, the firm thinks that seaborne thermal coal demand could peak in 2020, which means that until then, the “window for profitable investment in thermal coal” will be gradually closing.

No time like the present

While the long-term coal outlook from these three reports is not overly promising, all are clear on the fact that it’s now or never for those interested in getting into coal. Wait too long and the chance to profit will likely be gone.

CanAm Reports Record Q2 Coal Sales
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - July 16, 2013) - CanAm Coal Corp. (TSX VENTURE:COE) (OTCQX:COECF) ("CanAm" or the "Company") is pleased to report coa l sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Consolidated Q2 2013 coal sales were 167,500 tons, the best results in the Company's history. Sales were up 12% over the first quarter and 28% over the prior year. For the six month period ended June 30, 2013, sales were 317,000 tons as compared to 248,000 tons or an increase of 28% on a year to date basis.

Comparative 2012 financial information has been restated to reflect full (100%) consolidation accounting of BCC commencing with the purchase of the initial 50% ownership stake in May 2011.
During Q2 2013, the Company made significant progress to its goal of full production at its 3 new mines: Old Union 2, Knight and Posey Mill 2. The Company achieved a full quarter of production from all 3 pits at Old Union 2 and by the end of the quarter, Knight mine's production was at commercial levels. In June, the Company took up first coal from its Posey Mill 2 mine and it is expected that full production levels will be achieved in the third quarter from this mine. The Company's Powhatan mine had a solid quarter, achieving planned production levels. The prior year's result reflects sales from the Company's old mines, which had lower productive capacity compared to the Company's new mine complement. This explains the large sales increase.
Discreet June sales were a record 61,000 tons, which the Company believes is an indicator of future results. Once commercial production levels are reached at the Posey Mill 2 mine, the Company is optimistic that sales can start to exceed June levels.
Company President and CEO, Jos De Smedt commented: "Despite the fact we were still in a transition phase for most of the second quarter, CanAm was still able to achieve the best production and sales results in its history. Now that our transition has been completed, we can expect to achieve full scale commercial production for the foreseeable future. Add to this the fact we are fully contracted gives us optimism as we start the second half of the year".
The Company is expected to release its second quarter full financial results in August 2013.

Wendy Koch, USA TODAY 9:18 a.m. EDT June 26, 2013

While President Obama aims to crack down on coal-fired power plants, the coal industry finds lucrative and booming markets abroad, even in developed countries such as Germany and Japan.

The U.S. coal industry, under increasing pressure at home after President Obama's call Tuesday for tougher anti-pollution rules, is ratcheting up a more promising part of its business: exports.

Coal exports set a monthly record in March, driven largely by rising demand from its top customer, China, and other Asian countries, according to the most recent data from the Energy information Administration. While domestic consumption has had recent dips, exports have steadily climbed — from 39.6 million short tons in 2002 to a record 125.7 million short tons last year.

"Many coal producers are looking offshore as a way to offset softer markets in the United States," says Luke Popovich, spokesman of the National Mining Association. He says U.S. demand for coal has dipped because of relatively low natural gas prices and electric use, but he expects it will rise again. He says federal regulations on coal-fired power plants are "a more lingering problem."

Popovich says Obama's new proposal to cut greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. coal-fired power plants will do little to help the climate, because increasing amounts of coal are being burned worldwide.

STORY: Obama calls for carbon cuts at power plants

As part of his plan to tackle climate change, Obama directed the Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday to work with states and industry to develop carbon pollution standards for existing power plants. His administration proposed such limits for new plants last year but delayed issuing final rules in April.

STOCKS: Obama plan hammers coal producer share prices

"We limit the amount of toxic chemicals like mercury and sulfur and arsenic in our air or our water, but power plants can still dump unlimited amounts of carbon pollution into the air for free. That's not right, that's not safe, and it needs to stop," Obama said in a speech at Georgetown University. He said technological advances can help reduce pollution by capturing and storing carbon so it's not emitted into the air.

Obama said the United States can't go it alone. "I'm calling for an end of public financing for new coal plants overseas — unless they deploy carbon-capture technologies. ... I urge other countries to join this effort," he said, adding that his administration will launch talks to help other countries build a low-carbon economy.

Environmentalists, who had been pressuring Obama to do more on climate change, welcomed his remarks.

'Power plants need to be cleaned up," says David Hawkins of the Natural Resources Defense Council, which sought rules on existing plants in a report this year. His group says power plants account for 40% of the nation's carbon footprint.

"This is a no-brainer opportunity," Hawkins says, adding Obama has the authority under the Clean Air Act to limit greenhouse gas emissions and thus doesn't need Congress' approval.

The coal industry criticized Obama's plan, saying additional regulations could raise energy prices and shutter more power plants.

"If the Obama administration fails to recognize the environmental progress the industry has made and continues to adopt more regulations, coal power could cease to exist which would be devastating for our economy," Robert Duncan, president of the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, said in a statement. His group says 15% of plants plan to close because of existing EPA rules and more will be forced to follow with new limits.

The U.S. Department of Energy forecasts that coal, the largest single source of U.S. electricity, will provide a shrinking share of such power in the future — from 51% in 2003, to 42% in 2011 and 35% in 2040.

Coal faces a rosier future abroad. Its demand will increase in every region of the world except in the USA, according to a December report by the International Energy Agency. It provides 40% of the world's electricity, similar to its U.S. share.

"The world will burn around 1.2 billion more tons of coal per year by 2017 compared to today – equivalent to the current coal consumption of Russia and the United States combined," IEA's Maria van der Hoeven said in announcing the findings. "Coal's share of the global energy mix continues to grow each year, and if no changes are made to current policies, coal will catch oil within a decade."

Popovich says coal demand is rising even in developed countries such as Germany and Japan that are cutting back on nuclear power.

The Obama administration has boosted research funding for capture and sequestration technology and launched demonstration projects. Yet no U.S. power plant has installed such technology, which will be needed for coal-fired power plants to meet the EPA's proposed standard for new plants.

Full Year 2012 and Q4 Highlights
The Company announced today its full year 2012 and fourth quarter financial results for the period ending December 31, 2012. Full year revenue, EBITDA and net loss for the year were $55.4 million, $10.2 and ($6.1) million respectively as compared to $38.9 million, $8.5 million and ($1.7) million in the prior year.

-- Sales for the year were at record levels and were up 95% on an original
reported basis and 39% on a restated basis. Sales for Q4 of 153,841 tons
were in line with Q3 but were impacted by delayed customer shipments over
the Christmas holiday period.

-- Long term off-take contracts enabled the Company to achieve better than
market pricing for our high quality coals. Average sales price per ton
has however gone down quarter over quarter as a result of our changing
coal mix following the additional 30% acquisition of BCC who only
produces and sells thermal coal.

-- Contracted sales for 2013 are in the range of 700,000 to 800,000 tons
which corresponds to between 85% and 100% of expected production of our
new mine complement.

-- Focus on operational excellence through ongoing cost improvement
initiatives, integration and centralization of our mining operations
across all mines and entities and improved mining conditions resulted in
a significant reduction in production cost which started in Q3 and
continued in our fourth quarter. Fourth quarter production cost per ton
was $49 as compared to $71 in Q1 2012.

-- Operating cash flow continued to improve throughout the year and set a
record level in Q4 of $3.1 million.

-- Investment in equipment and mine development was significant during the
year and totaled $17.4 million. This investment was required in order to
position the Company for continued growth and involved the opening and
development of three new mines and the purchase and upgrade/refurbishment
of equipment. The Company's investment program is substantially completed
and 2013 capital expenditures will be significantly lower.

-- Transition to our new mine complement and configuration, which commenced
in October 2012, is nearly complete and the Company expects to reach full
production in early Q2 2013.

-- Free cash flow turned positive in the fourth quarter and amounted to $1.5
million. This represents a major milestone for the Company as we can now
start to build our cash position which will enable us to improve our
overall working capital and position us to start paying down our debt.

-- One-time provisions of $2.2 million were recorded in Q4 to correct an
error in the calculation of mineral property amortization and to write
down certain equipment and project development expenses to their net
realizable value.
Company President and CEO, Jos De Smedt commented: "CanAm completed another record year and continued its progress towards becoming an intermediate coal producer with a goal to achieving annual production of between 2 to 3 million tons within the next 5 years. Although we achieved a number of major milestones in 2012, including the acquisition of an additional 30% ownership in BCC and obtaining three new major mining permits, 2012 was not without its challenges. Delays in obtaining our mine permits, consolidation and integration of our mine operations, significant mine development and infrastructure work at our new mines and transitioning our resources, both people and equipment, to our new mines, all contributed to a challenging operating and work environment. In spite of these challenges, the hard work of our team paid off and the operational improvements achieved at our mines in the second half of the year, coupled with improved mining conditions, resulted in higher production levels and a significantly lower cost structure. This contributed to continued improvement in our cash flow from operations and, for the first time, the Company generated free cash flow.
With our new mines fully permitted, mine development nearing completion and full production levels achieved in Q2 of 2013, further significant growth is expected in 2013. In addition, the Company's $14.5 million investment in equipment in 2012 positions CanAm to efficiently optimize production and sales from these new mines. With these building blocks in place, we look forward to strong growth in 2013."

Summary of Recent Operations History and Mine Transition
Since May 2011, the Company has mined an average of between 40,000 and 60,000 tons of coal per month at four mines located in Alabama: Bear Creek, Old Union, Gooden Creek and Powhatan. In Q4, the Company commenced a significant repositioning of its mining operations, as follows:
1. Opened the first of three pits of a new mine, Old Union 2. Old Union 2
replaces the original Old Union mine, which completed mineable operations
in Q1 2013.

2. Temporarily suspended mining operations at Gooden Creek and accelerated
plans to open pits 2 and 3 at Old Union 2. These pits were opened during
Q1 2013.

3. Received final permitting for the Knight mine, which replaces the Bear
Creek mine (mined out in Q2 2013). The Knight mine achieved initial
commercial level production in March 2013.

4. In January, received final permitting for the Posey Mill 2 mine, with
first production scheduled for Q2 2013.

CanAm Forecasts 2013 Sales of Between 700,000 to 900,000 Tons, or Growth of Between 50% and 100% Over 2012
CanAm Coal Corp. (TSX VENTURE: COE)(OTCQX: COECF) ("CanAm" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on sales volumes, contracting and pricing for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.

2013 Sales Forecast
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tons % increase
2010 48,000
2011 263,000 448%
2012 455,000 73%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2013 700,000 to 900,000 54% - 98%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: CanAm consolidates its 80% ownership in Birmingham Coal & Coke (BCC),
following the acquisition of an additional 30% interest effective July 1,
2012. Accordingly, the table presents sales information on a consolidated
basis and includes 100% of BCC volumes sold (or forecast to be sold) since
July 1, 2012.

The Company is estimating 2013 coal sales of between 700,000 to 900,000 tons, an increase of approximately 250,000 to 450,000 tons over 2012. The significant increase is attributable to the following factors:

-- A full year impact of the Company's increased ownership position in BCC,
which was effective July 1, 2012.
-- Increased production from the Company's three new mines: Old Union 2,
Knight and Posey Mill 2.

Realized sales for 2013 are a function of the timing associated with the completion of mine development and build out of our new mines. Old Union 2 and Knight are currently producing but not at full production yet and Posey Mill 2 is targeted to start production in April. That said, we expect to have reached full production at all mines before the end of the second quarter.

Sale contracts and customers

The Company has 2013 sales commitments for at least 750,000 tons. Accordingly, the Company's 2013 production is substantially hedged and, depending on actual production levels as discussed above, 2013 tonnage is sold at between 85 to 100%. Sales are to five key customers with 40% of sales into the power market and 60% to industrial users. All sales are into the local Alabama market with the majority of our customers' facilities within a short haul of our current mines.

In late 2012, the Company was awarded two new thermal sales contracts and shipments to these industrial customers started in January 2013. The Company is excited about these newly established relationships as they further diversify our customer base. Both of these customers operate in the local Alabama market and the Company believes it has an opportunity to grow volumes with each customer, over time.

In February 2013, the Company and its primary metallurgical coal customer mutually agreed to terminate their sales contract due to coal specification issues. The termination impacts about 4,000 tons per month of production. The Company anticipates that it will be able to market this high quality coal to other customers. A number of off take contracting opportunities are being investigated.

The majority of the Company's key contracts are in place through 2014, with the power contract expiring in 2015. Negotiations are currently underway to further extend the power contract through 2020.

Pricing

2013 pricing is unchanged for the majority of contracted volumes although certain volumes will see modest price decreases (less than than 5%). The Company's new contracts have pricing in a consistent range to its existing contracts. Accordingly, average 2013 thermal pricing is expected to be consistent with 2012.

The termination of the Company's primary metallurgical contract will likely result in lower average metallurgical coal pricing for the year. However, the impact on overall average pricing (metallurgical and thermal combined) will be modest as the contract only represented a minor portion of total forecasted 2013 sales volumes.

"We are very excited about the Company's positioning for 2013. We anticipate sales volume growth of at least 50% and, depending on when our new mines reach full production, we have the potential to as much as double production over 2012. As well, substantially all of this production is sold at premium pricing because of the high quality of our coal and the markets we serve," said Jos De Smedt, President & CEO. "With our 3 new mines now open or close to open, an excellent customer base and an almost fully contracted sales position through 2014, an updated equipment fleet and a high quality coal product, we are excited by our future prospects."

Forward-Looking Information and Statements

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively referred to herein as "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. All statements other than statements of present or historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "could", "should", "can", "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "believe", "will", "may", "project", "budget", "plan", "sustain", "continues", "strategy", "forecast", "potential", "projects", "grow", "take advantage", "well positioned" or similar words suggesting future outcomes. In particular, this press release contains forward-looking statements relating to future production at the RAC Mining LLC ("RAC") and Birmingham Coal & Coke ("BCC") mines. This forward-looking information is based on management's estimates considering typical strip mining operations, equipment requirements and availability and typical permitting timelines.

In addition, forward-looking statements regarding the Company are based on certain key expectations and assumptions of the Company concerning anticipated financial performance, business prospects, strategies, the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities, the availability and cost of services, the ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, the actual results of exploration projects being equivalent to or better than estimated results in technical reports or prior exploration results, and future costs and expenses being based on historical costs and expenses, adjusted for inflation, all of which are subject to change based on market conditions and potential timing delays. Although management of the Company consider these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to them, these assumptions may prove to be incorrect.

By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties (both general and specific) and risks that forward-looking statements will not be achieved. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, as a number of important factors could cause the actual results to differ materially from the Company's beliefs, plans, objectives and expectations, including, among other things: general economic and market factors, including business competition, changes in government regulations or in tax laws; the early stage development of the Company and its projects; general political and social uncertainties; commodity prices; the actual results of current exploration and development or operational activities; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; accidents and other risks inherent in the mining industry; lack of insurance; delay or failure to receive board or regulatory approvals; changes in legislation, including environmental legislation, affecting the Company; timing and availability of external financing on acceptable terms; conclusions of economic evaluations; and lack of qualified, skilled labour or loss of key individuals. These factors should not be considered exhaustive. Many of these risk factors are beyond the Company's control and each contributes to the possibility that the forward-looking statements will not occur or that actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. The impact of any one risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as these risks, uncertainties and factors are interdependent and management's future course of action depends upon the Company's assessment of all information available at that time.

Forward-looking statements in respect of the future production of the RAC and BCC mines may be considered a financial outlook. These forward-looking statements were approved by management of the Company on January 23, 2013. The purpose of this information is to provide an operational update on the company's activities and strategies and this information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

The forward-looking statements contained herein are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made as of the date of this press release and the Company does not undertake and is not obligated to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent events or otherwise unless so required by applicable securities laws.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

CanAm Q4 Coal Sales 95% ahead of Prior Year
Calgary, AB – February 11, 2013 – CanAm Coal Corp. (TSXV: COE), (OTCQX: COECF)
(“CanAm” or the “Company”) is pleased to report coal production and sales for the year ended
December 31, 2012. Consolidated Q4 2012 coal sales were 154,000 tons, a 95% increase over
Q4 in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2012, consolidated coal sales were
455,000 tons, a 73% increase over the prior year. Q4 coal production was a record 174,000 tons,
including 24,100 tons of metallurgical coal.
Three Month Period Year
Ended Ended
Dec 31 Dec 31 Dec 31 Dec 31
2012 2011* 2012 2011
Metallurgical coal 21,168 14,925 68,182 56,950
Thermal coal 132,590 63,848 387,205 206,446
Total 153,758 78,773 455,387 263,396
Note: CanAm holds 80% ownership in Birmingham Coal & Coke (BCC) following its acquisition of an additional 30% interest, effective July 1, 2012.
As at that date, CanAm began consolidating the financial results of BCC in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, accordingly
the above information is presented on a consolidated basis and includes 100% of BCC’s sales and production volumes.
* Restated to reflect a comparable October to December 2011 quarter. Last year’s reported quarter only comprised two months (November & December
2011).
The significant increase in both sales and production is attributable to a combination of a) an
increase in the Company’s ownership in BCC, which was effective July 1, 2012, b) improved
production performance at our existing mines c) production from our new Old Union 2 mine,
which commenced operations at its first pit in late October, and d) improved strip ratios. Q4
production exceeded sales by approximately 20,000 tons. This was mainly attributable to reduced
sales in the latter part of December as a number of our customers reduced hours or closed
operations during the Christmas period, which impacted December sales. These customers
accelerated their shipment schedules in January 2013 to make up for the shortfall. Sales of
metallurgical coal were up 42% from the prior year and were 37% higher than in Q3 of 2012.
During Q4, the Company experienced strong production performance at its Powhatan, Bear Creek
and Old Union mines. Management and operational changes instituted in the first half of the year
were a key factor explaining this improvement, particularly at Powhatan. As disclosed in our Q3
MD&A, the Company took the decision in Q4 to temporarily suspend operations at the Gooden
Creek mine and to move forward the start dates of its second and third pits at the Old Union 2
mine from mid-2013 to Q1 2013. The Company is pleased to report that both pits entered
production in late January. Mining at Old Union 1 is substantially complete and production will
cease by the end of February 2013.
1201 - 5th Street SW
Calgary, AB
T2R 0Y6
As previously reported, the Company received final permitting from the Alabama Surface Mining
Commission for its Knight and Posey Mill 2 mines. The Knight mine, which replaces the Bear
Creek mine (expected to be mined out in the first half of 2013) commenced production in late
January 2013. Mine development is underway at the Posey Mill 2 mine with first production
planned before the end of Q1 2013. Looking forward into 2013, the Company is expecting
continued growth in production and sales as it brings on full production from its newly permitted
mines.
Company President and CEO, Jos De Smedt commented: “CanAm achieved significant
production and sales growth in Q3 and Q4 and full 2012 was another record year for the
Company. Since 2010, which was the first year of production for CanAm, we have seen our sales
increase almost ten-fold, from 48,000 tons in 2010 to 256,000 tons in 2011 to a record 455,000
tons in 2012. With our new mines fully permitted and initial mine development nearing
completion, further significant growth is expected in 2013. In addition, the Company’s $11
million investment in new equipment in 2012 positions CanAm to efficiently optimize production
and sales from these new mines. With these building blocks in place, we look forward to strong
growth in 2013.”
The Company is expected to release its audited full year financial results in April 2013.

COECF-Issued permit
CanAm Coal Corp. (TSX VENTURE:COE) (OTCQX:COECF) ("CanAm" or the "Company") is pleased to report that the Company's subsidiary, Birmingham Coal & Coke ("BCC"), was issued permit # 3963 by the Alabama Surface Mining Commission ("ASMC") for the Posey Mill II Mine ("PM2"). This permit is a 5 year surface mining permit covering a total of 781 acres. The PM2 Mine is adjacent to the Bear Creek and the Knight Mine and, with most infrastructure already in place, the Company is targeting a February 2013 production startup. Annual productive capacity at the Posey Mill II mine is forecasted at 100,000 to 150,000 tons per annum.

The coal at the PM2 mine is considered to have similar qualities/characteristics as the coal that is currently being mined from the existing Bear Creek and Knight Mines. On average, the proximate analysis has indicated 12% ash, 0.7% sulfur and 11,500 BTU/lb. These average values are consistent with the assays reported from drilling; mine face sampling and product deliveries. (See NI 43-101 report dated July 2011 on www.sedar.com).

"The issuance of this permit is especially important as the majority of the coal to be produced at Posey Mill II has been sold into a long term contract. We are working diligently to build the necessary infrastructure and anticipate production of coal in February 2013", said Tom Lewis, Vice President of BCC. "This is our third new permit in the last 5 months; the Old Union II permit was obtained in August 2012 and the Knight permit was obtained in November 2012, and combined the three permits cover approximately 2,352 acres of land that is now fully permitted for production."

The hard work of our team paid off and the operational improvements achieved at our mines in the quarter, coupled with improved mining conditions, resulted in higher production levels and a significantly lower cost structure. We also received our Old Union 2 permit in August and our Knight Mine permit subsequent to quarter end. While there is more work ahead, we are pleased with our performance and look forward to further improvement in the fourth quarter and into 2013".

COECF-CanAm Coal: On Target to Produce 1 Million Tons in 2013
Calgary based CanAm Coal Corp (TSX-V: COE) is an active coal producer with four operating mines in Alabama. Since late-2009, the management team has been executing a three to five year strategy to increase annual production to between 1-3 million tons through the acquisition, exploration and development of coal resources. As a result, the company has experienced extraordinary growth in recent years. In 2011, CanAm's coal sales multiplied five times, from 48,361 tons in 2010, to 256,221 tons, while, in 2012, it projects to sell between 450,000-550,000 tons, twice the sales of 2011.

Impressively, the company has sold up to 85% of its estimated production for 2012 in long term contracts, which generally last a minimum of three years. However, despite these positive developments, the stock price has remained stagnant, due, in large part, to a lack of exposure and a tough environment for natural resource stocks, particularly small caps. Nevertheless, through thick and thin, CanAm's business continues to thrive, which suggests shares in this undervalued company have strong upward potential when market conditions improve.

CanAm Coal Corp. (TSX VENTURE: COE) (OTCQX: COECF) ("CanAm" or the "Company") is pleased to report that the Company's subsidiary, Birmingham Coal & Coke ("BCC"), was issued permit # 3970 by the Alabama Surface Mining Commission ("ASMC") for the Knight Mine. This permit is a 5 year surface mining permit covering a total of 178 acres. The Knight Mine is adjacent to the Bear Creek Mine and, with most infrastructure already in place, the Company is targeting an early December 2012 production startup. Annual productive capacity at the Knight mine is forecasted at 180,000 tons per annum.

The coal at the Knight mine is considered to have the same qualities/characteristics as the coal that is currently being mined from the existing Bear Creek mine. On average, the proximate analysis has indicated 12% ash, 0.7% sulfur and 11,500 BTU/lb. These average values are consistent with the assays reported from drilling; mine face sampling and product deliveries. (See NI 43-101 report dated July 2011 on www.sedar.com).

"We are excited about our new Knight Mine permit as it will allows us to further expand our mining operations, increase our production of high quality thermal coal and continue to meet our customer commitments", said Tom Lewis, Vice President of BCC. "This is our second new permit in the last 3 months; the Old Union II permit was obtained in August 2012, and we are expecting to receive our Posey Mill II permit in the next couple of weeks."

The Company is also announcing that it will release its full financial results for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012 on November 29, 2012.

Calgary, AB -- November 1, 2012 -- CanAm Coal Corp. (TSXV: COE), (OTCQX: COECF) ("CanAm" or the "Company") is pleased to report coal production and sales for the third quarter ending September 30, 2012. Consolidated Q3 2012 coal sales were 158,000 tons, more than double Q2 coal sales of 77,000 tons and a 68% increase over Q3 in the prior year. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, consolidated coal sales were 302,000 tons, a 46% increase over the prior year. Q3 coal production was 167,400 tons, including 21,300 tons of metallurgical coal.

Three Month Period Nine Month Period
Ended Ended
Sept 30 Oct 31 Sept 30 Oct 31

Total 157,900 94,261 301,629 206,369
*The comparative period is to October 31, 2011 as the Company formerly had a January year-end.

Note: CanAm holds 80% ownership in Birmingham Coal & Coke (BCC) following its acquisition of an additional 30% interest, effective July 1, 2012. As at that date, CanAm began consolidating the financial results of BCC in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, accordingly the above information is presented on a consolidated basis and includes 100% of BCC's sales and production volumes.

The significant increase in both sales and production is attributable to an increase in the Company's ownership in BCC, which was effective July 1, 2012 and an improvement in production at all of our four operating mines. Management and operational changes executed in the first half of the year at the Powhatan mine paid off and coal sales at that mine set an all-time high of 33,332 tons. Operational challenges at the BCC mines, mainly resulting from an incident in Q1 that damaged an excavator at the Gooden Creek mine, were ironed out and sales from BCC's operations were 124,568 tons, the highest level since Q1 of 2008. Sales of metallurgical coal were up 16% from the prior year but slightly down from Q2 as shipments were somewhat hampered by inconsistency in coal quality.

Looking forward to our Q4 and beyond, the Company is expecting continued growth in production and sales as it brings on production from newly permitted mines. The Old Union 2 mine, which received final permitting in late August, started operations in early October and permits for the Knight and Posey Mill 2 mine are expected in the near term.

Jos De Smedt, President and COO of CanAm, commented: "CanAm achieved significant production and sales growth in Q3. The majority of this growth came from our acquisition of 30% of BCC but important operating improvements also positively impacted results. We look forward to building on this momentum with production from our new Old Union 2 mine starting in October. We are also in the final permitting stages for our Knight and Posey Mill 2 mines. Upon receipt of these permits, mining can commence within a short period of time. We look forward to building on our momentum in Q4 and into 2013".

The Company will release full third quarter financial results in late November 2012.

CanAm Coal Corp. (TSX VENTURE:COE)(OTCQX:COECF) ("CanAm" or the "Company") is pleased to report on the issuance of a mining permit for the Old Union II mine and the acquisition of new coal leases.
Old Union II Permit
On August 8, 2012, the Company's subsidiary, Birmingham Coal & Coke ("BCC"), was issued permit # 3962 by the Alabama Surface Mining Commission ("ASMC"). This permit, also known as the Old Union II permit, allows the Company to start mining operations effective immediately. The Old Union II permit is a 5 year surface mining permit covering a total of 1,393 acres and 1,108 minable acres. The total recoverable tons of coal within the permit area is 1,274,750 tons. (See NI 43-101 report dated May 2011 on www.sedar.com). The Company has begun the mine development work and is targeting a September 2012 production startup. Annual production from the Old Union properties, which include the existing Old Union and the now permitted Old Union II mine sites, is forecasted at 360,000 to 400,000 tons per annum. To put this in context, Old Union mine production for the first 6 months of 2012 was approximately 110,000 tons.
The coal within the Old Union II mine complex is considered to have the same qualities/characteristics as the coal that is currently being mined from the existing Old Union mine. On average, the proximate analysis has indicated 9% ash, 1.0% sulfur and 12,400 BTU/lb. These average values are consistent with the assays reported from drilling; mine face sampling and product deliveries. (See NI 43-101 report dated July 2011 on www.sedar.com).
New Coal Leases
The Company is also pleased to report that BCC has acquired additional surface mining rights to two tracts of land totaling approximately 133 acres. These lands are an integral part of the Old Union and Old Union II mine complex and are in addition to the 574 acres of land acquired in the period April to June 2012 and previously announced in a press release dated July 10, 2012.
The first of the surface mining rights was acquired through Molag Timberprop, LLC through a surface mining lease. The lease consists of approximately 40 total acres with a management estimate of 23 mineable acres. The lease has a 3 year term and includes industry standard royalty provisions with no advance minimum royalties. This property is currently permitted and is within the Old Union mining complex.
The second surface mining lease is referred to by the company as the H.H. and Alice Kilgore property and will be added to the Old Union II mine permit. It consists of approximately 93 total acres with a management estimate of 64 mineable acres. The lease has an indefinite term that runs until the mining and reclamation are completed and includes industry standard royalty provisions with no advance minimum royalties. This is a key lease acquisition as, from a mine development and operating perspective, this property will allow for direct and easy access to the eastern portion of the Old Union II mine site from County Road 21.
"We are excited about our new Old Union II permit as it will allows us to expand our mining operations, increase our production of high quality thermal coal and continue to meet our customer commitments," said Tom Lewis, Vice President of BCC. "In addition, the acquisition of the Kilgore property will save us time and money as we avoid having to undertake a major bridge project."
