TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 5, 2011) - Corsa Capital Ltd. (News - Market indicators) is pleased to announce that pursuant to its previously announced option, it has purchased the rights to mine all coal seams under approximately 5,600 acres in Jenner, Quema honing, Lincoln, and Somerset Townships in Somerset County, Pennsylvania referred to as the Alumbaugh property.            

The Alumbaugh property is immediately adjacent to the Company's existing Acosta Deep project, a probable reserve in the Middle and Lower Kittanning coal seams, which contains 5.7 million recoverable tons of metallurgical coal and is located 20 miles by truck from the Company's coal preparation plant.

This property has been extensively drilled with a total of 50 cores extracted within the footprint of the coal resource, the most recent of which (11) were pulled in 2010 and 2011 by Wilson Creek Energy.        

Preliminary calculations for the Alumbaugh property, utilizing Carlson Mining Software, indicate the presence of a total of 29.5 million tons of in-place, low volatile, coking coal within the Lower, Middle and Upper Kittanning seams as follows:

These coal seams are located 200 to 600 feet below the surface and exhibit an average inclination of 2 degrees.

This deposit meets the definition of an indicated coal resource as per National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). A technical report (within the meaning of NI 43-101) has not been prepared in respect of the Alumbaugh property. The effective date of the estimate of the mineral resources contained in the press release is April 1, 2011. The estimate of mineral resources reflects known environmental, permitting, title and other relevant matters. The footprint will require further definition in the following areas in order to achieve the classification of a coal reserve: surface and mineral control, mineability related to geologic conditions, and economic viability. The mineral resources referred to in this press release have not been classified as mineral reserves and a feasibility study has not been completed. Accordingly the economic viability of the Alumbaugh property has not yet been demonstrated.

The purchase price is a total of US$7 million of which US$3 million was paid on exercise. US$500,000 is payable on each April 5, 2012 and 2013 (unless the property is permitted for mining earlier). The balance is payable in three equal annual installments commencing on the earlier of the date the property is permitted for mining and April 5, 2014.

Don Charter the President and CEO of the Company stated "This purchase is a significant expansion of the Company's Acosta Deep project and is another step in the Company's progress in expanding its resource base."

Corsa is a Canadian public company in the business of mining, processing and selling metallurgical coal as well as actively exploring, acquiring and developing resource properties consistent with its coal business, all currently located in Pennsylvania.
