Colonial Coal International Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CAD) (the "Company" or
"Colonial") announces an independent, measured, indicated and inferred resource
estimate for its 100% owned Huguenot coking coal project located in northeast
British Columbia as set out in the Company's technical report "Huguenot Coal
Project" dated August 31, 2012 (the "Technical Report") completed by Norwest
Corporation and filed on SEDAR. 


These resource estimates have been determined using a 0.60 meter true thickness
cut-off for open pit resources and 1.5m for underground resources. Full details

Estimates of underground resources reflect the extension of the geological model
to 900m below surface.


David Austin, President and CEO of Colonial, commented on the results. "The
inclusion of the underground resource in the Measured and Indicated ("M&I")
categories is a huge step forward for the company and its shareholders. In
aggregate, Colonial now has an M&I resource in excess of 189 Mt plus 194Mt
inferred resource of high value coking coal."
