FORBES & MANHATTAN COAL ANNOUNCES SIGNIFICANT OFF TAKE AGREEMENT


Steady Cash Flow Will Fund Production Ramp Up

Forbes & Manhattan Coal Corp., ("Forbes Coal" or the "Company") is a producer of high quality bituminous coal and Anthracite from mines in the Klipriver coalfield, near Dundee, in the KwaZulu Natal province of South Africa has signed a three year offtake agreement for 1.75 million tonnes (total) with Vitol S.A. ("Vitol"), a leading energy trading company, according to Forbescoal website.

Vitol will be purchasing thermal coal from the Slater Coal properties at market prices.

Forbes Coal's website further said, cash flow from this offtake agreement will fund the continued ramping up of production at its two operating mines – Magdalena and Aviemore. The agreement is initially for three years and will support the previously announced production expansion plans.

Forbes Coal intends to transport the coal to the Navitrade Coal Terminal in Richards Bay using its increased rail transport and capacity with Transnet Freight Rail and Grindrod Terminals. Grindrod Terminals provides certain logistical, handling and stockpiling services to shippers in connection with the shipment of bulk cargoes. As per the press release of December 7, 2010, Grindrod Terminals shall provide Forbes Coal with export coal capacity in the Terminal of 600,000 metric tonnes in 2011, 720,000 metric tonnes in 2012 and 960,000 metric tonnes in 2013.

"This milestone for Forbes Coal will support our planned expansion into the coal export market. We have seen a steady increase in export prices over the past 12 months, driven by an increase in demand from India. Together with our increased export capacity at Richard's Bay, the Company is on track to establish itself as a mid-tier Southern African coal company." said Stephan Theron, President and Chief Executive Officer of Forbes Coal.
