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.

A more detailed analysis of the open pit design and equipment selection was carried out, that yielded larger mineable open pit tonnage, longer mine life, and a lower cost mining operation. ■ Alternative means of product coal transportation were considered which resulted in a revised plan to transport coal by conventional haul trucks from the mine to the existing rail line south of Tumbler Ridge, as opposed to the previous concept of direct rail transport from the mine.

This includes replacements as they are required over the life of the mine. The second scenario assumes that the major mining equipment will be leased in the year in which it is required for the mining operation and that replacements will also be leased when the equipment needs to be replaced. ** All costs are in US dollars but, where Canadian dollar equivalents are provided, they have been converted using an exchange rate of US$1.00 equals CAD$1.316 Based on the purchased equipment scenario the financial analysis suggests that the coal price required to achieve a zero NPV at discount rates of 5%, 7.5%, and 10%, respectively, is about US$113, US$120 and US$125 per tonne. A coal price of US$137 per tonne is required for an IRR of 15%. Based on the leased equipment option the financial analysis suggests that the coal price required to achieve a zero NPV at discount rates of 5%, 7.5%, and 10%, respectively, is about US$114, US$119 and US$125 per tonne. A coal price of US$137 per tonne is required for an IRR of 15%. TSX-V: CAD www.ccoal.ca 11#13Company Overview: Colonial Coal HUGUENOT PROPERTY 2020 PEA Highlights (Open Pit Only) ■ CIC Measured and Indicated surface mineable coal resources total 132.0 million tonnes, with an additional Inferred resource of 0.5 million tonnes. Not included for mining in the 2020 PEA are in-situ underground mineable resources totaling 145.7 million tonnes (Measured and Indicated) and 118.7 million tonnes classified as Inferred The 2020 PEA economic analysis is based on a conceptual open pit mine plan targeting 99 million run-of-mine ("ROM") tonnes of resource at an overall stripping ratio of 10.5:1 (bank cubic metres (bcm): ROM tonnes), yielding 72 million tonnes of product coal over a mine life of 27 years. The previous PEAs identified a smaller open pit with ROM tonnage of 56 million tonnes at a stripping ratio of 8.6:1, that yielded 39 million tonnes of product coal over 13 years. Projected clean coal production from open pit mining operations ranges from 0.7 million tonnes per annum ("Mt/a") to 3.0 Mt/a, averaging approximately 2.7 Mt/a. ■ Potential coal production is identified as hard coking coal similar to coking coal currently exported from northeast British Columbia. ■ The stand-alone open pit cash operating costs for the purchased equipment scenario are estimated at US$55.08 per tonne of product coal at the mine gate. The cash operating costs for the leased equipment scenario are estimated at US$61.47 per tonne. ■ Estimated direct operating plus offsite costs for the purchased equipment scenario (i.e., FOB cost), total US$91.90 per clean tonne (excluding production taxes and royalties). The FOB cost for the leased equipment scenario is estimated at US$98.29 per clean tonne (excluding production taxes and royalties) ☐ Pre-production capital cost for the proposed mine in the purchased equipment scenario is estimated at US$510 million, with additional sustaining capital of US$215 million over the life-of-mine (LOM). Pre-production capital cost in the leased equipment scenario is estimated at US$303 million, with additional sustaining capital of US$42 million over the LOM. ■ The Huguenot Project's proposed payback of initial capital is estimated within four years from start-up of operations for both scenarios.#14Colonial Projects Overview: • HUGUENOT PROPERTY 2018 PEA Highlights (Open Pit and Underground Mine) ■ The Huguenot Project has an indicative after-tax (and royalty) net present value (NPV) of US$1,166 million (CAD$1,516 million) using a 7.5% discount rate, and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 33%, based on a coking coal price of US$172.0 per tonne. The Huguenot PEA is based on conceptual open pit and underground mine plans that target 122.3 million run-of-mine (ROM) tonnes of resource, with a yield of 73%, producing 89.3 million tonnes of clean coal over a mine life of 31 years.

The pre-production capital cost for the underground mine is estimated at US$300 million (CAD$391 million), with additional sustaining capital of US$406 million (CAD$528 million) over the LOM. The proposed payback of initial capital is estimated to be within three years from the start of coal production. The Gordon Creek project's total cash operating cost is estimated at US$80.91 (CAD$105.19) per clean coal tonne. This includes direct mine site costs of US$41.16 per tonne, offsite costs (transportation and port charges) of US$25.42 per tonne and indirect costs of US$14.33 per tonne.

TSX-V: CAD www.ccoal.ca 18#20GIC Access to World Class Infrastructure Production from Huguenot and Flatbed would be shipped by rail to one of the three export terminals on the west coast of British Columbia. Access to deep water export terminals, including the Neptune and Westshore terminals in Vancouver and the Ridley Terminal in Prince Rupert, B.C. Rail lines out of the Peace River Coalfield are operated by a Class I Canadian carrier (CN Rail, largest railway company in Canada) and have available capacity to support future production from Huguenot and Flatbed. The project would use hydro-electric power which is in line with carbon neutral development goals. Under the pressure of increasing carbon emission tax, the economic advantages of the project will be more significant in the future.
