Legal Disclaimers

This presentation may contain forward-looking statements, and forward looking information under applicable securities laws including management’s expectations of future production, cash flow and earnings. These statements are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the risks associated with the commodity industry (e.g. operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, and health, safety and environmental risks), commodity price, price and exchange rate fluctuation and uncertainties resulting from potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures.

There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Colonial Coal undertakes no duty to update any of the forward-looking information herein. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

The scientific and technical information relating to the Huguenot property has been derived from the Huguenot Technical Report dated May 19, 2010, a copy of which will be filed on sedar.com under Ananda Capital, copies of the technical report will be made available to investors on request.

The information contained in this document has not been reviewed or approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any provincial or state securities regulatory authority. Any representation to the contrary is unlawful. This document does not include a complete description of Colonial Coal or any offering. Any offer of securities Colonial Coal will be made only pursuant to a subscription agreement and the provisions of applicable law. Any securities to be offered for sale by Colonial Coal are not expected to be registered in the United States under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws.

Cautionary Note to US Investors Concerning Resource Estimate:

The resource estimates in this document were prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators. The requirements of National Instrument 43-101 differ significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In this document, we use the terms “measured,” “indicated”, and “inferred” resources. Although these terms are required and recognized in Canada, the SEC does not recognize them. The SEC permits US mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that constitute “reserves.” Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a reserve unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally extracted at the time the determination is made. United States investors should not assume that all or any portion of a measured or indicated resource will ever be converted into “reserves”. Further, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and whether they can be mined economically or legally, and United States investors should not assume that “inferred resources” exist or can be legally or economically mined, or that they will ever be upgraded to a higher category.

• Metallurgical coal developer– Two resource stage properties in strategic locations in Peace River Coal Field– Extensive historical work completed by Denison

• Increased activity in Peace River Coal Field– Four producing mines in the region with two other mines pending– Significant development and investment activity

• Huguenot Coal Project (100% interest)– Located adjacent to Western Coal - Peace River Coal’s Belcourt Saxon JV where $23mm

spent on project and taken to feasibility level– 45.5 million tonnes NI 43-101 compliant metallurgical coal resource in North Block– Additional 84 –113 million tonnes potential within Middle & South Block– Amenable to open pit mining

• Flatbed Coal Project (100% interest)– Adjacent to Trend and Quintette mines– Potential for large tonnage deposit– Teck looking at opening up mines in the area
