Cobalt Coal Ltd. Announces Receipt of Default Notice from Virginia Property Vendors and Senior Secured Lender

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN
THE UNITED STATES.


Cobalt Coal Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CCF) ("Cobalt" or the "Corporation") announces
that it has received a notice of rescission of the Share Purchase and Sale
agreement from the vendors of the Virginia properties that were previously
disclosed in Cobalt's news releases of December 19, 2013, March 8, 2012, July
11, 2012, July 17, 2012, November 19, 2012 and November 20, 2012 (the "Notice").
The Notice was served as a result of the assertion by the vendors that certain
conditions of the promissory note issued by Cobalt at closing of the Virginia
property acquisition were not met, including the payment of the second tranche
payment thereunder in the amount of $1,000,000 plus interest.


As a result of the Notice, Cobalt has also received default notice from its
senior secured lender which includes notice of acceleration such that the amount
due of approximately $1.8 million USD pursuant to the senior secured credit
facility is immediately due and payable.


Cobalt is continuing with ongoing discussions aimed at curing the defaults
within the 60 days permitted under the agreements; however, no assurance can be
given that these efforts will be successful.
