                 COMPLETION OF SHARES FOR DEBT ARRANGEMENTS

Buffalo Coal announced today that it has completed certain shares for debt arrangements with two of
its creditors, STA Coal Mining Company Proprietary Limited (“STA”) and Resource Capital Fund V L.P.
(“RCF”).

The Company issued 6,136,353 common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) to STA, at a
deemed issuance price of $0.05 per Common Share, in settlement of approximately $307,000 of
contract mining fees payable to STA by a subsidiary of the Company in respect of the five month period
ended March 31, 2016. The Common Shares were issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of
an equity settlement agreement dated October 28, 2015 between the Company, STA and certain other
parties and are subject to a four month resale restriction.

The Company also issued an aggregate of 57,000,240 Common Shares to RCF, at a deemed issuance
price of $0.05 per Common Share, in settlement of an aggregate of $2.85 million of interest payable to
RCF pursuant to a convertible credit facility between the Company and RCF dated December 2, 2015
(the “RCF Facility”). The Common Shares were issued in two tranches as follows: 14,990,400 Common
Shares effective January 14, 2016 (in respect of interest payable to RCF for the three month period
ended December 31, 2015) and 42,009,840 Common Shares effective April 6, 2016 (in respect of
interest payable to RCF for the three month period ended March 31, 2016). The Common Shares issued
to RCF are subject to certain resale restrictions under applicable United State securities laws. RCF is an
insider of the Corporation (holding approximately 88.7% prior to the completion of arrangements
described herein and 89.0% following completion of the arrangements described herein). The RCF
Facility, including the settlement of interest through the issuance of Common Shares, was previously
approved by the shareholders of the Corporation at a meeting of shareholders held on June 19, 2015.
