TORONTO, June 17 - (TSX:SCP) - Sprott Resource Corp. ("SRC")
announced today that one of its investments, PBS Coals Corporation ("PBS
Coals"), has entered into a letter of intent with Penfold Capital Acquistion
Corporation (TSX-V:PNA.P) ("Penfold") to enter into a business combination
with Penfold. SRC currently has a 31.6% interest in PBS Group (defined below).
"With the global coal market continuing to tighten, the investment demand
for eastern USA coal producers remains strong," said Kevin Bambrough,
President and CEO of SRC. "We expect to further increase SRC's shareholder
value through the public listing of PBS Coals and the elevation of its profile
in the public marketplace."
PBS is a private British Columbia Corporation which owns 85% of the
equity of the PBS Coals Group of Companies, a privately held group of
companies engaged in the mining, processing and sale of metallurgical and
thermal coal from their properties in Central Pennsylvania (the "PBS Group").
The PBS Group consists of PBS Coals, Inc. and Rox Coal, Inc., two Delaware
corporations, and their subsidiaries and holding companies. The PBS Group
currently produces approximately 3 million clean tons of bituminous coal a
year from both its underground and surface operations. The PBS Group has
initiated a mine expansion program to increase production to 5 million clean
tons per year over the next two fiscal years (consisting primarily of
metallurgical coal) and to complete construction of its Cambria processing
facility.
