I. Metallurgical Coal and Clean Coal Technologies

Metallurgical coal is trading for over USD 200 per tonne (FOB Colombian ports), driven by reviving steel
prices and a shortage due to China`s high export tariffs.

the rest of the commodity market. Much of the developing world derives the vast majority of its electricity
from coal, and coal is a key ingredient in the steel and cement production needed for the infrastructure
boom in those nations. The developed world also relies heavily on coal-fired power plants, though
environmental concerns there have led to demand for improved processing and burning technologies.

There are several types and grades of coal, from cheaper thermal coals used for power generation to more-
expensive metallurgical coals used for coke production.

use as fertilizer.
Coke’s market value is linked with global steel demand and is higher than that of raw metallurgical coal,
especially when optimal levels of volatile constituents are present. In the coking process these constituents
become various marketable byproducts including tars, oils, and urea and ammonia, the latter two being
key fertilizer feedstocks. The coke supply remains tight due in part to the imposition a 40% export tariff on
Chinese coke and metallurgical coal exports since late 2008, which reduced China’s share of the world
coke trade from over 40% to near 3% and turned them into a net importer. The floods in Queensland
Australia have also reduced this year’s coking coal output by 50 million metric tonnes (mmt), since that
region supplies about 50% of the world’s coking coal exports.

Syngas is a high calorific value mix of hydrocarbons that can be burned cleanly, refined into methane or
liquid fuels, and used to produce urea and ammonia. The costs and technical challenges of sequestering
carbon are also reduced when coal is gasified prior to combustion.

Urea Sector
Urea, a valuable byproduct of the coking process, is a key ingredient in nitrogen fertilizer. Global urea
consumption is over 150 million tonnes and growing by a few percent per annum. Most of the increase
in urea production comes from Asia.

II. The Colombian Coal Industry

Columbia exports almost all of its coking coal and coke, and has a 6% share of global exports. New
properties are explored by global companies in order to satisfy demand.

Emerging from a long spell of under-investment


Colombia is the world’s tenth largest producer and fourth largest exporter of coal, with an estimated 7 Colombia has large, underexploit-
billion tonnes of recoverable reserves and 17 billion tonnes of potential reserves. Coal accounts for half of ed resources of quality thermal
the country’s mining activity, and is the second largest export after oil. and metallurgical coal.

Colombia is a significant exporter of thermal coal, accounting for 5-7% of global exports over the last
decade, mostly from mines near the northern coast. Colombian coal tends to have high heat-value and low
ash and sulfur content. The metallurgical coal and coking industries, located in the Andean foothill region,
have been underdeveloped due to past political instability and logistics associated with transportation.

Vast improvements in stability and the enactment of market-friendly legislation have spurred a boom in
Colombia’s resource industry. Benefits include free-trade zones with key coal consumers, special exchange
rates for resource companies, new trade agreements, and better contract law.

After the coal industry was privatized in 2004, concessions were available for purchase with relative ease,
spurring a staking boom, but now many early speculators are defaulting on fees as their 3-year exploration
periods expire. This situation presents an opportunity to obtain properties at favorable prices.

The government is now changing the bidding process to evaluate companies’ ability to bring resources into
production, a development that favors larger, better organized concerns. Major international companies
such as London Mining have been snapping up Colombian metallurgical coal operations. Future production
of metallurgical coal is expected to rise as infrastructure improvements continue and importing nations form
more relationships with local suppliers.

Colombian Coke Production


Colombia produced approximately one million tonnes of metallurgical coke in 2009, down from a high
of two million in 2007 due to the global recession, but up from 400,000 tonnes in 1999. Production was
expected to exceed two million tonnes in 2010 and to continue growing.
Colombia is a major exporter of

Over 90% of Colombian coke is made in beehive ovens, an inefficient and environmentally damaging 19th
century technique that results in low quality, inconsistent coke. This has to some degree discouraged the
large and well-developed Brazilian steel industry from sourcing its coke in Colombia.

Urea Market in Latin America


Colombia, like many other South American countries, imports all of its urea, estimated by Gobi International
to be approximately 700,000 tonnes per annum, or 14% of the South American urea market. Brazil imports
roughly 3 times this amount.

Geography
The low-lying, politically-stable Guajira peninsula on Colombia’s Caribbean coast contains good thermal
coal in thick seams, and this region accounts for the vast majority of the country’s production and exports.
Here a consortium owned by Anglo American, BHP Billiton and Xstrata operates the Cerrejon Zona Norte,
one of the largest open-cast coal mines in the world and the largest coal mine in South America, boasting
an annual output of 30 million tonnes, with plans to double output by 2020.

Exhibit 3: Cerrejon Zona Norte (Left), The Guajira Peninsula (Right)

Further south in the Andean foothills, high-pressure geological activity has produced high-BTU thermal
coal and high-quality metallurgical coal. These reserves have been relatively under-exploited due to violent
political instability and a lack of infrastructure. Now that violence has ebbed and governance is better,
there is an opportunity for smaller companies to build substantial portfolios of solid properties. This region
is where the Company plans to focus its operations.

III. Properties & Exploration

$5.5million will be invested in drilling in 2011 with a short-term goal of defining 50-60 mmt of metal-
lurgical coal resources, possibly 15-20mmt of which as initial reserves. Management believes that the
resource could ultimately be 300 mmt.

Current Land Position & Preliminary Work


The Company currently holds three concessions covering approximately 7,000 hectares on agricultural land
in the Santander district (the “North Block”). In March 2011 it announced agreements to acquire three more
continguous concessions in the Boyacá region near Otanche, totaling 3,000 ha. Applications are pending
for an additional 11 concessions in the Santander and Magdalena districts covering approximately 60,000
ha. The budget for further acquisitions this year will depend on the results of ongoing drilling operations.

The Company has established a team of engineers and geologists who are familiar with the region in order
to perform preliminary work on the concessions. They have determined that the North Block is part of the
Umir formation, a local sedimentary structure associated with coal. The formation is adjacent to the Lisama
oil fields, and there are extensive records of oil drillings, borings, electrographic data and stratigraphy
performed by Ecopetrol S.A., the country’s largest petroleum concern.

In the North Block, 44 coal seams have so far been identified, some of which are in excess of 1.5m thick. In
places a total of over 27 meters of coal is present in 15 seams over 50cm thick. The dip is generally shallow
enough for surface mining. The continuity of outcrop has been measured so far as 10km N-S and 1km E-W,
though the team believes that the width may be as much as 6km.

Due diligence is ongoing on the Otanche block, and the Company’s production is likely to start here
because two of the Otache concessions have existing environmental licenses. Mining could commence
as early as October 2011, whereas environmental licenses for the North Block are expected within 6-12
months.

this year.
The entire program is being conducted in accordance with US and international standards for the definition
of a formal resource and reserve estimate. After drilling is complete, the Company will retain a recognized
firm to analyze the data and prepare the estimates. Coal samples will be tested, and the underlying rock
formations will be analyzed to assist with mine planning.

Management hopes that the initial resource estimate will come in at 50-60mmt, with a measured resource
of upwards of 20mmt and the balance in the indicated and inferred resource categories. Of course, these
numbers should be considered a guess until drilling is complete and the resource report is released in late
2011.

After the resource is defined and a mine plan is ready, mining applications will be submitted to the
government. A planned feasibility study will then delineate the mineable reserve portion of the resource,
15mmt of which should be sufficient to for production of one million tonnes per year, though the reserve
would be expected to expand as mining progresses, as is typical in the industry.

IV. Production, Transportation and Processing

Management expects total production, transportation and washing costs to be $120 per tonne FOB,
while exporting prices are now $200-240 per tonne FOB in Colombia. The company plans to export
1-2mmt of metallurgical coal per year.

Mine Plans and Costs

not anticipate difficulty in meeting this goal given the estimated size of the resource and history of local
production. Nonetheless the Company is identifying other sources of coal to supplement its own production
if needed for the plant.

Most mines in the area use single-entry shaft systems utilizing jackhammer mining and manual loading into
trucks, with costs running $35-40 per ton delivered to the truck. Management intends to stick with these
methods because they are familiar to the local workers.

Transportation
The Company’s initial production will be trucked to coastal ports for export.

Prior to completion of the coking plant and other coal upgrading facilities, CCPF plans to export all coal Some tertiary roads may need to

Proposed exports of coal and coke would utilize three primary ports on the Atlantic coast, Santa Marta, ment for river transit.
Barranquilla and Cartagena, and possibly the Buenaventura port on the Pacific coast. These ports will
provide access to Panamax and Handy vessels. Due to capacity constraints, current delays at the ports may
impact the Company’s operations, as the Company is only in preliminary discussions over port agreements.
However six new ports are being built on Colombia’s Atlantic coast as alternative export options, as well
as two more on the Pacific coast.

The Company’s concessions are approximately 800 km from coastal ports, and less than 200 km from the
expected location of the upgrading facilities along the Magdalena River. The Company has determined that
the most cost-effective means of transporting the coal for the first few years is by 20-ton truck. The majority
of the roads between the concessions and loading facilities are paved highways, although some road
building and repair will be required on the first few kilometers of some routes.

Exhibit 6: The Magdalena River

Cost Estimates
With trucking and port expenses of $60-75, plus washing and blending, total production costs are anticipated
to be about $100 per tonne. Port loading would add another $10+ for exported coal. Domestic prices range
from $80/tonne for high-volatile content coal to $120 for low-volatile thermal coal, and export prices are
$200-240/tonne for coking coal. At those prices, the Company expects to be able to mine, transport and
export metallurgical coal at a profit of over $80/tonne.

these permits for coking operations. The Company has agreed in principal to the terms of the deal, pending
due diligence, and hopes to close in the first half of 2011, with licenses finalized by the end of the year.

raise will likely be used, and debt financing may be sought for the balance. There are discussions with
parties that may supply additional coal for the plant before the Company’s own mines can produce at a rate
sufficient to meet the plant’s capacity. CCPF has stated that it may also seek to acquire other nearby mines
to provide feedstock.

The Brazilian steel industry could be an important market for Colombian coke if the supply is of good
quality. The urea and ammonia could be also be marketed in Colombia, Brazil or the US.

VI. Future Plans for a Clean Energy Park

If mining and the first coke plant are successful, the Company plans to pursue a full value chain after
2013 by constructing a gasification plant, a 1 million tonne full-recovery coke plant and a 120 MW power
plant.

In addition to the heat-recovery coke plant, the Company has longer-term plans to develop a large industrial
park in Santander, including a full-recovery coke plant, coal gasification plant, a methanol plant and a
120MW power plant. CCPF is working with a Chinese engineering firm and a Chinese manufacturer on
these plans, on which construction would tentatively begin in 2013 with these firms as partners. These are
very capital-intensive projects costing roughly $100-300 million each, and the Company has entered into
a MOU with the partners for 80-85% of the financing. CCPF would supply the coal feedstock, assuming its
mines are producing millions of tonnes per year by such time.

Gasification Plant
The proposed gasification plant would convert coal into liquid and gaseous fuel, ammonia and urea, and
allow for the capture and sequestration of carbon if economical. The output mix of gasification plants
can be adjusted to meet demand for various products. Tentative production goals are 180,000 tonnes of
ammonia or 300,000 tonnes of urea. Capital costs are projected to be $235 million, and pre-feasibility
work is ongoing.

Full-recovery Coke Plant


A proposed state-of-the-art, full-recovery coke plant and associated methanol plant could produce one
million tonnes of coke and 100,000 tonnes of methanol annually. This plant could capture nearly all
emissions plus carbon dioxide and produce top-quality coke for steel production. The facility is also in
the pre-feasibility stage, with a goal of breaking ground in 2014 at a capital cost of roughly $300 million.

Power Plant
A 120MW power plant would supply all of the energy park’s electric needs and be able to sell the other
half of its output into the local grid. Pre-feasibility work is ongoing for a 2013 construction start, and the
capital cost is estimated at $100 million.

shares in aggregate, at $0.01 per share The largest investor was the Bellevue, Washington private equity
fund Steelhead Navigator Master, LP, followed by Plano, Texas-based Pinnacle Family Office Investments LP.

Of the net proceeds, approximately $2.5 million is intended to go towards payments to secure mining
concessions and $5.5 million is earmarked for the exploration of these properties and definition of a formal
coal resource. Working capital, operating costs and feasibility studies will likely require the balance of these
funds. The capital cost of bringing the first mine(s) into operation is still being determined, and should be
made clear by the feasibility study later in the year.

Property Acquisition Costs


CCPF completed acquisitions of three mining concessions in Santander in July and October 2010, and
signed agreements for another three concessions in Boyacá in March 2011, with closing of the later pending
due diligence. The first acquisition consisted of two concessions on an aggregate of 2,674 hectares, for which
the Company paid 400 million COP (214,593 USD) to the owner of the concessions and 125,266,709 COP
(67,348 USD) in annual fees to the Colombian Ministry of Mines. In addition to the purchase price, the
seller is entitled to a royalty of $2.00 for each ton of coal extracted under the concessions during the term Payment for coal concessions in-

of $1,515,000. The Company has paid $95,000 and the balance is due as follows: $220,000 payable on
the date concession rights are registered with the Colombian National Mining Register, and $1,200,000
payable in six quarterly installments of $200,000 beginning three months after the date the rights are
registered, less 50% of the value of any extraction royalties paid to the assignor, where royalties amount to
$2.00 per ton of coal extracted during the term of the concession. The Company also paid 215,377,844
COP (115,299 USD) in annual fees to the Colombian Ministry of Mines.

The terms of the 2011 Boyacá acquistions require a total of $2.55 million, $300,000 of which has been
paid, with the balance payable upon meeting certain milestones: a) $500,000 upon the assignment of the
concessions from the Colombian Institute of Geology and Mining and; b) $250,000 upon the recording and
publication of the assignment in the National Mining Registry. Thereafter, three installments of $500,000
each are due on six month intervals.

VIII: Equity Valuation Considerations

Based on assets alone, CCPF could be valued at over $4.00 per share once the Company defines an
official coal resource, a goal for 2011. Cash flow from mining and coking operations offers even greater
potential for gain, given satisfactory financing arrangements for capital expenditures.

CCPF is still at a very early stage of operations, but there are two readily-available ways to illustrate how
the might be valued should certain milestones be met. An investor could compare the company’s valuation
to formal resource estimates or to initial production goals. We will demonstrate both methods here, and
briefly discuss the Company’s longer-term, more speculative plans.

Valuation by Resource Estimates


The following table compares the enterprise values (“EV,” a comprehensive metric of company valuation,
defined as market capitalization + debt – cash) of metallurgical coal companies to the adjusted dollar values
of their compliant resource and reserve estimates.
For this calculation, in order of decreasing certainty, proven and probable reserves (“P&P”) are credited at
100%; measured and indicated resources (“M&I”) are credited at 50%, and inferred resources are credited
at 5%. A coal price of $285 per tonne is employed, and where present, other minerals (such as thermal coal,
iron or copper) are credited using the same methodology and their respective market prices.

MINING REPORT IN CONJUNCTION WITH www.miningalmanac.com
Colombia Clean Power and Fuels - OTCBB: CCPF.OB Initial Report: April 18, 2011

CCPF does not yet of course have any formal estimates, but based on sampling, geology, and the team’s
experienced judgment, a measured and indicated resource of 50-60 mmt is expected by management. If
the Company is successful at proving a resource of 50mmt, the present stock valuation relative to resource
value would be approximately 70% lower than the group mean.

Of course, this is still a highly speculative calculation, but it offers some perspective on how the market
might react to a formal resource report. A feasibility study and mine plan would offer further assurance that
reserves were economically recoverable and that the company was on the way to becoming a producer. It
is important to factor in the share dilution that will be required in order to raise capital for mine contruction
and the coking facility, but the current valuation is low enough to effectively discounts for another 50%
increase in the share count.

In summary, a 50mmt resource might result in a valuation of roughly $210 million, which after dilution
would amount to over $4.00 per share. A further discount may need to be applied due to the somewhat
lower than average met coal pricing in Colombia ($200-240 vs $250+). Positive variables would include
acheiving this resource and meeting capital needs with less than the assumed 50% dilution, or coming in
with the targeted 50-60mmt resource.

Valuation by Annual Production


Until a mine plan has been published it is too early to make assumptions about future production rates,
but for illustrative purposes we can look at how the market might value the shares should CCPF reach
management’s first target of 300,000 tonnes per annum of coal production.

The average coal company above trades at 4.5 times annual revenues. More mature companies like Massey
and Alpha trade at lower multiples, while companies with on a rapid growth trajectory like Western Coal
and Homeland Energy sport much higher relative values. At the current (low-ball) price of $200/t, 300kt of
production would equate to roughly $60 million in revenues. The market today would seem to value $60
million in revenues at $270 million in enterprise value, a huge markup to CCPF’s current $54m valuation.

MINING REPORT IN CONJUNCTION WITH www.miningalmanac.com
Colombia Clean Power and Fuels - OTCBB: CCPF.OB Initial Report: April 18, 2011

For CCPF to achieve its production goal, well over $10 million in capex will be required, in addition to the
$20 million for the coking plant. Working capital will add significantly to these cash needs, so management
has indicated that it may need to raise another $50 million by 2012. With bankable feasibility studies for
the mines and coking plant, it is possible that debt could be used for a large portion of capex, but again,
significant equity dilution should be expected. Again allowing for 50% additional stock issuance, 300kt
of production might equate to a value of roughly $6.00 per share based on the above peer valuations. Of
course, it is still way too early to put much credence into these production forecasts, but this model will
come into play once a bankable feasibility study is in hand, a goal for 2011.

Heat-Recovery Coking Plant


The initial heat-recovery coking plant calls for production by 2013 of 200ktpa of high-quality coke from
a feedstock of 300kt of metallurgical coal. Quality Colombian coke is selling for $400 per tonne. At these
prices, management estimates that margins could be $200 per tonne if their own mines supply the feedstock
and $120 per tonne if purchased on the local market. Even allowing for a fall in the coke price and lower
margins, the cash flow from such a plant could be over $20 million, a remarkable rate of return. Of course,
equity dilution and/or partner financing will absorb much of that profit, but even net cash flow of $10
million per unit would be highly favorable. Furthermore, once a plant is operational, additional modular
plants may be eligible for lower-cost financing, so the returns on subsequent units could be higher.

Longer-term possibilities
Looking further into the future, Company management believes that based the regional geology and the
availability of concessions, that CCPF could achieve several million tonnes of production by 2016. Based
on current prices and management’s margin estimates, the EBITDA on such quantities could top $200M.
This is in no way meant to be considered a valuation factor, but to illustrate management’s vision of longer-
term possibilities. These also include the large industrial park with full-scale coal upgrading operations.

Selected Risk Considerations

The Company remains in the exploration stage, and total reserves on its concessions are unproven. Surface
geology may also prove to be unreliable on future concessions and the Company could overpay for future
concessions using imperfect information.

The Company is depending on favorable rulings from regulators to receive the required permissions to
construct mines and processing facilities, and there can be no guarantee that these will be forthcoming in
a timely basis.

The global market price of coal and coke have increased dramatically in recent years, but continued
strength depends on a number of factors including economic growth and environmental regulations. A
drop in prices to pre-2005 levels would have a severe effect on the profitability of the Company’s mining
operations.

The Company has high capital requirements for its planned coke plant and clean energy park, and there
is no guarantee that sufficient financing will be available on shareholder-friendly terms. Capital raises will
dilute existing shareholders.

Colombia has been undergoing an economic boom in recent years and hostilities have subsided, but the
Company’s coal resources are in an historically volatile region. Renewed political instability could make it
very difficult to safely and reliably operate.

Additionally, CCPF is currently a “penny stock,” making it subject to additional market risks and trading
regulations.
