TORONTO, July 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ – Corsa Coal Corp. (TSXV: CSO) (“Corsa” or
the “Company”) provides an update on the transaction (the
“Transaction”) with Quintana Kopper Glo Investment, LLC and announces
the resignation of a Director.

Quintana Kopper Glo Transaction

A summary of the Transaction and of related documents is set out in
Corsa’s material change report dated March 28, 2013, available on sedar.com.

In accordance with the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange (the
“Exchange”), Corsa has submitted for review to the Exchange a Filing
Statement in respect of the Transaction together with a NI 43-101
compliant technical report on Kopper Glo’s material property.

Corsa expects to seek approval of a majority (50%) of its shareholders
(by written consent) late in July, once the Exchange advises that the
Filing Statement has been accepted for filing. At this time,
shareholders holding approximately 50.3 per cent of the currently
outstanding shares of the Company have agreed to vote in favour of the
Transaction which is sufficient to achieve the required approval. The
Transaction is targeted to close by the end of July 2013. Completion of
the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including
Exchange acceptance and shareholder approval. The Transaction cannot
close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be
no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at
all. Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the Filing
Statement to be prepared in connection with the Transaction, any
information released or received with respect to the Transaction may
not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in
the securities of Corsa should be considered highly speculative.

The Exchange has in no way passed upon the merits of the proposed
transaction and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of
this press release.

Resignation of a Director

Corsa today announced that, in connection with the Transaction, as well
as for personal reasons, Mr. Colin Benner has resigned from the Board
of Directors of Corsa. Michael Harrison has been appointed as the new
Chairman of the Board.

Don Charter, President and CEO stated “On behalf of management and the
entire Board, we thank Colin, both professionally and as a friend, for
his significant contribution as the founding Chairman of Corsa. Colin’s
experience and guidance have been invaluable to the evolution of the
Company.”
