Corsa Coal Provides Corporate Update and 2022 Annual Meeting Details

FRIEDENS, June 2, 2022 - Corsa Coal Corp. (TSXV: CSO) (OTCQX: CRSXF) ("Corsa" or the "Company"), a premium quality metallurgical coal producer, today provided an update on the Company's operations during the second quarter of 2022 and details regarding its upcoming 2022 annual and special meeting of shareholders.

Kevin M. Harrigan, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Corsa, commented, "The Company is continuing to manage through the challenging geology and labor-related matters that impacted fourth quarter 2021 and first quarter 2022 operations and has taken all steps reasonably available to it to improve productivity and attract and retain qualified employees. We expect our second quarter sales tons to increase over the first quarter and sales realization to be similar to the first quarter, as we continue to fulfill previously committed fixed priced orders. Due to lower production levels in the first half of the year and existing contract volumes, the Company does not expect to benefit from higher priced spot sales in the second quarter."

"From an operational standpoint, we expect to increase our sales tonnages in the second quarter back to historical levels and expect our cash cost of sales to be lower than the first quarter. However, cash cost of sales will not be back to historical levels as the impact of inflation, skilled labor shortages and challenging geological conditions continue to elevate costs. Additionally, we expect our selling, general and administrative costs to be similar to the first quarter of 2022."

"We made several operational adjustments beginning in the first quarter that are on-going and expect to see improved coal production in the coming quarters. We commenced development of the access to the Company's North Mine reserves from the existing Casselman Mine and expect normal operations to begin at the North Mine in 2023. The main priorities of the Company, as we move forward in 2022, are maximizing our production, increasing our participation in the metallurgical coal spot market and reducing our costs while we maintain a focus on improving our balance sheet with minimized downside financial risk. The Company's capital allocation and deployment strategy will be driven by our priorities and solidifying our financial position."

The Company tentatively expects to announce second quarter 2022 financial results after the market closes on Wednesday, August 3, 2022.

The Company's will hold its annual and special meeting of shareholders at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on June 16, 2022 (the "Meeting") in a virtual only format via live webcast online at https://meetnow.global/MURGH46.
