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 September 4, 2012, a copy of which will be filed on sedar.com under Colonial Coal International Corp., 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.

(Wapiti River)
(Trend)
Strategic Location With Significant Partnership Opportunities
● Sharing in the development of joint infrastructure (roads / rail) with other potential operators in the region would lower initial capital costs at Huguenot■ PEA contemplates a third party built railway used by other
potential producers in the region■ 85 km rail spur (+/- overland conveyer) to connect the
project to the existing main rail line
● If not built by an independent third party, the railway could be constructed on a shared basis with other coal producers and rail providers in the region.■ Huguenot is adjacent to the Belcourt Project (Anglo
American / Walter Energy)■ Other nearby properties are owned by Teck Resources
and Canadian Dehua (private joint venture including major Chinese state-owned steel producers)
● Rail access by other projects would reduce costs and provide practical benefits■ Development / operating costs would be distributed across
all operators in the region for greater scale and lower per tonne cost
■ While rail is the preferred mode of transportation in the region, trucking coal is viable but more expensive on a per tonne basis

Rights of Action for Purchasers
Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Price Edward Island, Manitoba and Saskatchewan:
Securities legislation in Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba and Saskatchewan provides investors in securities of the Company with certain rights of action where an offering memorandum and any amendment to it contains a misrepresentation. These remedies, or notice with respect thereto, must be exercised or delivered, as the case may be, by the investor within the time limits prescribed by the applicable securities legislation.
The following are summaries of these rights. Such summaries are subject to the express provisions of applicable securities legislation, and the rules, regulations and other instruments thereunder, and reference is made to the complete text of such provisions contained therein. Such provisions may contain certain limitations and statutory defences on which the Company and others may rely. These rights are in addition to, and without derogation from, any other right the investor may have at law. Investors should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of their province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.
For purposes of the following summaries, “Misrepresentation” means an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact that is necessary in order to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made.

Ontario. If this presentation, together with any amendment to this presentation, contains a Misrepresentation, an investor in the Province of Ontario will have, without regard to whether the Misrepresentation was relied upon by the investor, a statutory right of action against the Company for damages or, at the election of the investor, against the Company, for rescission (in which case the investor will cease to have a right of action for damages), provided that:
1. no action may be commenced to enforce a right of action
a) for rescission, more than 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action; or
b) for damages, more than the earlier of (i) 180 days after the investor first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action, and (ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action;
2. the Company will not be liable if it proves that the investor purchased the securities of the Company with knowledge of the Misrepresentation;

4. in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the securities of the Company were offered to the investor.
The foregoing rights do not apply if the investor purchasing in reliance upon the "accredited investor" prospectus exemption in Section 2.3 of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus and Registration Exemptions ("NI 45-106") is:
a) a Canadian financial institution (as defined in NI 45-106) or a Schedule III bank, meaning an authorized foreign bank named in Schedule III of the Bank Act (Canada);
b) the Business Development Bank of Canada incorporated under the Business Development Bank of Canada Act (Canada); or
c) a subsidiary of any person referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b), if the person owns all of the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by directors of that subsidiary.
