CanAm Coal Adds Coal Expertise to Its Team

CanAm Coal Corp. (TSX VENTURE:COE) ("CanAm" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that it has entered into a consulting agreement with the officers of
Birmingham Coal & Coke, Inc. ("BCC"), Messrs. Robert and Thomas Lewis, to
provide coal expertise and advice to both CanAm's management team and board of
directors. The Company will look to Robert and Thomas to provide strategic
advice as it relates to its expansion plans and strategies in the United States
of America, and in particular Alabama, and to provide acquisition and
integration assistance in the context of the Company's recently announced
transaction to acquire an additional 49% ownership in RAC Mining LLC. 


"The expertise and experience that both of these gentlemen bring in the coal
business will add additional depth and credibility as we build CanAm in an
emerging coal producing company. We have worked with both Bob and Tom over the
last 6 months and have built an excellent relationship and this agreement is the
next step in the evolution of our collaboration" said Tim Bergen. 


About Birmingham Coal & Coke, Inc.

Birmingham Coal & Coke, Inc. was incorporated in 1975 by H. Kent Lewis. Kent
created BCC to market coal produced from mines located in Alabama to industrial,
utility and export markets. 2010 marks the 35th anniversary of the founding of
the company. Over this extended period of time, only three mining companies in
Alabama (operating in 1975) still exist today; Drummond Coal Company, Jim Walter
Resources, and BCC. In 1990, Robert and Thomas Lewis obtained ownership in BCC
and have continued to manage the company on a foundation of conservative
financial policies and strong ethical values. Today, BCC not only markets coal,
but produces coal from three surface mines in Northwest Alabama. Combined sales
have averaged over 500,000 tons per year since 2007. Robert Lewis, a
Professional Geologist and the President of BCC, has had the opportunity to
serve on the Alabama Coal Association Board of Directors for over 20 years. He
also serves on the Board of Directors for the Alabama Coal Cooperative. Thomas
Lewis is the Vice President and Treasurer of BCC and has been involved in every
aspect of coal mine development. Tom is also the President of Pace Industries, a
company that operates a landfill in the state of Alabama.
