New Colombia Resources in Negotiations to Build a 300 MW Thermal Coal Power Plant Near their Coal Property in Colombia in Association with a Foreign Entity that Secured a US$ 200 Million L.O.I. from a Major Construction Company in ChinaBARRANQUILLA, October 19, 2016 - New Colombia Resources, Inc. (OTC: NEWC) ("New Colombia or the 'Company"), a Colombian resource company listed in the U.S. with premium metallurgical coal mining titles and medical marijuana subsidiaries is pleased to report on the status of a project to build a thermal coal power plant in Guaduas, Colombia. Company subsidiary, Compañía Minera San Jose Ltda. entered into negotiations earlier this year with a foreign entity to build a 300 Megawatt thermal coal power plant near their estimated vast coal reserves. This entity has secured a Letter of Intent for US$ 200 Million from a major construction company in China to join a consortium to finance the development of the coal operations to feed this new plant and construction of the power plant.
New Colombia Resources' Director, Erasmo Almanza, received a report from the consortium partner on the status of negotiations of the installation of the thermal coal power plant in Guaduas. The report states there have been meetings with the financing team seeking the best financing option for the project and have modified the volume of power generation to optimize material inventory with time. A decision was made to program a meeting with Mr. Almanza after these adjustments are finalized to protocolize the negotiations and establish the new power company.
Guaduas is located 110 Km northeast of the capital of Bogota with an estimated 10 Million people. Colombia's energy generation is dominated by hydro-electric which causes concerns during droughts and a weather phenomenon.
The Company's coal reserves are estimated to be 70% metallurgical and 30% thermal, for a comprehensive estimate of probable reserves on their first concession contract ILE-09551 visit http://www.newcolombiaresources.com/assesment.php
The concession contract to be developed by the consortium is in close proximity to Concession Contract ILE-09551 and expected to have a similar 70/30 ratio of coking coal to thermal coal.
The Company feels this is a major development creating a local market for their thermal coal while developing metallurgical coking coal that has more than tripled in price this year to over $ 230/tonne. Additionally, the Company has met with a multi-billion-dollar Asian conglomerate interested in their premium metallurgical coal.

Goldman Sachs issued a report stating their projection that coking coal prices will remain high. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-23/goldman-says-higher-coking-coal-prices-are-here-to-stay
