Certain statements and information set forth in this presentation constitute "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" under applicable securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). Except for statements of historical fact, certain information contained herein constitutes forward-looking statements which include management's assessment of future plans and operations and are based on current internal expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions and beliefs, which may prove to be incorrect. Some of the forward-looking statements include, but is not limited to, statements regarding the pro forma projections and information for Corsa and future oriented financial information. When used in this presentation, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as "estimates", "expects" "anticipates", "believes", "projects", "plans", "pro forma" and similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and undue reliance should not be placed on them. Such forward-looking statements necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Corsa's control and may cause Corsa's actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: liabilities inherent in coal mine development and production; geological, mining and processing technical problems; inability to obtain required mine licenses, mine permits and regulatory approvals or renewals required in connection with the mining and processing of coal; unexpected changes in coal quality and specification; risks that the coal preparation plants will not operate at production capacity during the relevant period; variations in the coal preparation plants' recovery rates; dependence on third party coal transportation systems; competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves, undeveloped lands and skilled personnel; incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions; changes in commodity prices and exchange rates; changes in the regulations in respect to the use, mining and processing of coal; changes in regulations on refuse disposal; the effects of competition and pricing pressures in the coal market; the oversupply of, or lack of demand for, coal; currency and interest rate fluctuations; various events which could disrupt operations and/or the transportation of coal products, including labor stoppages and severe weather conditions; the demand for and availability of rail, port and other transportation services; and management's ability to anticipate and manage the foregoing factors and risks. The forward-looking statements and information contained in this presentation are based on certain assumptions regarding, among other things, coal sales being consistent with expectations; future prices for coal; future currency and exchange rates; Corsa's ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and access capital markets to meet its future obligations; the regulatory framework representing royalties, taxes and environmental matters in the countries in which Corsa conducts business; coal production levels; and Corsa's ability to retain qualified staff and equipment in a cost-efficient manner to meet its demand. While these assumptions, risks and uncertainties do not represent a complete list of factors which may cause events to be materially different than those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements in this presentation, they should be considered carefully.

“Shanxi Coking Coal Group Co., Ltd., China's top producer of thesteelmaking material, signed 2017 coking coal supply contracts withsix major state-owned steel firms…
The contract base price was agreed at the spot level of ShanxiCoking Coal Group at the end of November, or around 1,300 yuan/t($189 per metric ton FOB Preparation Plant) …
"If the base price lasts for a year, our composite sales price of rawcoking coal may reach 450 yuan per metric ton or so next year;that's a profit of 80-90 yuan for per metric ton of raw coking coal,given the present production cost of about 360 yuan per metric ton”

(A) The mineral reserve and resource estimates relating to NAPP Division properties, which are effective as of December 31, 2016, have been prepared by Marshall Miller& Associates, Inc. (“MM&A”) under the supervision of Justin S. Douthat, P.E., M.B.A., Michael G. McClure, C.P.G., Kirt Suehs, C.P.G., and Gerard J. Enigk, P.E. each aqualified person, as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). MM&A is independent of Corsaand its subsidiaries. For a complete description of the mines and projects relating to the NAPP Division Properties, see the report prepared pursuant to NI 43-101 byMM&A under Corsa’s profile at www.sedar.com entitled “Technical Report on the Coal Resource and Coal Reserve Controlled by Corsa Coal Corp., Pennsylvania, USA -Prepared in Accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects Effective December 31, 2016.”
(B) Reserves are clean recoverable tons.
(C) Resources are in-place tons inclusive of proven and probable reserves.
(D) The mineral reserve and resource estimates relating to the Kopper Glo properties of the CAPP Division, which are effective as of December 31, 2016, have beenprepared by Marshall Miller & Associates, Inc. (“MM&A”) under the supervision of Justin S. Douthat, P.E., M.B.A. and John W. Eckman, C.P.G., each a qualified person,as such term is defined in NI 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). MM&A is independent of Corsa and its subsidiaries. For a completedescription of the mines and projects relating to the Kopper Glo Properties, see the report prepared pursuant to NI 43-101 by MM&A under Corsa’s profile atwww.sedar.com entitled “Technical Report on the Coal Reserve and Coal Resource Controlled by Kopper Glo Mining, LLC, Tennessee, USA - Prepared in Accordancewith National Instrument 43-101 Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects Effective December 31, 2016.”
Cautionary Statement Regarding Estimates of Mineral ReservesThis presentation sets forth certain estimates of “reserves” and “resources”. While Corsa believes that the estimates were based on methodologies acceptable in Canadapursuant to NI 43-101 such estimates are not compliant with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7 as discussed below.NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes in Canada of scientific andtechnical information concerning mineral projects. Of note to U.S. investors, these standards differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC (including under itsIndustry Guide 7).
Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically andlegally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of historical estimates of“reserves” in this Presentation will ever be converted into reserves, or if converted, what actual poundage and grade they may have. Accordingly, information concerningdescriptions or mineralization, “resources” and “reserves” contained in this presentation are not comparable to information made public by U.S. companies subject to thereporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.
Appendix – Non-GAAP Financial Measures
22
This presentation reports certain financial measures, not recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS” or “GAAP”), as used by management and readers of this presentation to evaluate the historical performance of Corsa. Since certain non-GAAP financial measures may not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, the non-GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, quantified and reconciled with their nearest GAAP measure in Management’s Discussion and Analysis dated March 31, 2107.
Certain financial measures referred to in this presentation, namely EBITDA (earnings before deductions for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA adjusted for change in estimate of reclamation provisions for non-operating properties, impairment and write-off of mineral properties and advance royalties, gain (loss) on sale of assets and other costs, stock-based compensation, non-cash finance expenses and other non-cash adjustments); realized price per ton sold (net coal sales divided by tons of coal sold); cash production cost per ton sold (cash production costs of sales divided by tons of coal sold), cash cost per ton sold (cash production costs of sales including purchased coal costs divided by tons of coal sold) and cash margin per ton sold (difference between realized price per ton sold and cash cost per ton sold), are not measures recognized by GAAP.
Management uses EBITDA; Adjusted EBITDA; realized price per ton sold, cash production cost per ton sold, cash cost per ton sold and cash margin per ton sold as internal measurements of operating performance for Corsa’s mining and processing operations. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information for investors as they provide information in addition to the GAAP measures to assist in their evaluation of the operating performance of Corsa.
