CanAm Coal Corp. (TSX VENTURE:COE) (OTCQX:COECF) ("CanAm" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Scott Bolton as the new Chief
Financial Officer of the Company. Concurrently with this appointment, Mr. Jos De
Smedt, the current CFO, will take on the role of President and Chief Operating
Officer. Mr. Tim Bergen will continue in his role as Chief Executive Officer. 


"Since late 2009, CanAm has repositioned itself as a coal producer and the
Company has embarked on an aggressive growth strategy. With an estimated
production target of 500,000 tons in 2012, the Company's ultimate goal is to
become a 3 million ton per year producer through both organic growth and
accretive acquisitions. In order to achieve this goal, we had to expand our
management and executive capabilities with another senior and experienced
individual who can add significant value and bring additional credibility to
CanAm's impressive growth story", said Jonathan Legg, Chairman of the Board.
"With his 25+ years of experience at PwC, there is no doubt that Scott will
bring tremendous value to our Company. As to Jos, our new President and COO, he
has, over the last couple of years, assumed a broader leadership role in the
Company and was instrumental in the tactical execution of our strategy. We
believe that his leadership and skill set will further enable CanAm to achieve
its goal of becoming an intermediate coal producer."


Mr. Bolton is a Senior Partner with PricewaterhouseCoopers ("PwC"), based in
Calgary. He leads PwC's Canadian energy practice, is the Partner responsible for
the Calgary Consulting and Deals practice and is Chief Financial Officer of the
overall Consulting and Deals practice for Canada. Scott is also a senior member
of the PwC's global Energy, Utilities & Mining leadership team. As Energy
Leader, Mr. Bolton is responsible for service delivery for a number of large
international and Canadian energy companies. He brings considerable experience
in a broad range of technical areas including business strategy, mergers and
acquisitions, due diligence, valuations, integration, supply chain management,
enterprise risk management, accounting and auditing. In the past decade he has
worked on numerous transactions in all size ranges, primarily for energy sector
clients. A Chartered Accountant by training, Mr. Bolton started with PwC in
Edmonton and has worked in PwC's Brussels, Belgium, Toronto and Calgary offices.
