1 MARCH 2012 QUARTERLY REPORT PERTH, Western Australia, April 30, 2012: Coalspur Mines Limited ( Coalspur or Company ) (ASX: CPL, TSX: CPT) is pleased to present its quarterly report for the three months ending March 31, Highlights: Completed a Feasibility Study on Vista, which will be the final major technical study on the Company s flagship Vista Coal Project ( Vista ). Highlights of the Feasibility Study include: Total development costs of C$1.23 billion required to reach full production capacity of 11.2Mtpa.Forecast annual marketable coal production capacity of 11.2Mtpa and a 30 year mine life on Vista; Marketable Coal Reserves of 313Mt from a Recoverable Coal Reserve of 566Mt; Mine gate costs of C$27.3/t in the first 10 years of production and C$34.4/t over the life of mine. Secured additional throughput allocation with Ridley Terminals Inc. ( Ridley Terminals ) for up to 5.0Mtpa. Coalspur has now contracted up to 13.5Mtpa of throughput allocation which satisfies the port requirements for Vista. Progressed an optimization study on Vista which resulted in an increase in the forecasted annual marketable coal production capacity to 12.0Mtpa from 11.2Mtpa (announced 26 April 2012). Progressed regulatory applications necessary to construct, operate and commission a mining facility at Vista. Approval of applications is targeted for early 2013 and construction on Vista to commence immediately afterwards. Entered into an agreement with the Highland Park Group to provide Coalspur with a loan facility of C$70 million ( Facility Agreement ). The Facility Agreement will provide Coalspur with the capital resources for detailed engineering and to pursue certain business development opportunities. Continued the process of identifying potential strategic investment partners which may provide future funding for the development of Vista and coal marketing arrangements. Subsequent to quarter end the Company: Acquired an additional 14,432 hectares of coal bearing leases in the Hinton region for C$13 million. The new leases are adjacent to the northeast boundary of Vista and have the potential to leverage off of any future infrastructure built on Vista.

2 CANADIAN COAL PROJECTS Vista Coal Project Vista Feasibility Study Coalspur completed a Feasibility Study on Vista in January 2012 which is the final major technical report to be completed before construction commences on the project. Highlights of the Feasibility Study include: Production Capacity and Coal Reserves Annual marketable coal production capacity of 11.2Mtpa (since upgraded to 12Mtpa). The production capacity forecast assumes the process plant will run at an average of 6,800 plant operating hours or at 78% net effective utilization. Proven and Probable Marketable Coal Reserve of 313Mt from a Recoverable Coal Reserve of 566Mt. Economics Mine gate cash costs in the initial 10 years of production of C$27.3/t and LOM costs of C$34.4/t. Freeonboard ( FOB ) cash costs are C$61.0/t in the initial 10 years of production and are C$68.1/t over LOM. Projected first phase development costs of C$860 million and an incremental C$370 million to reach full capacity of 11.2Mtpa in the second phase. Incorporating forecast coal prices from Wood Mackenzie and a Canadian dollar to US dollar exchange rate of 0.94 resulted in an aftertax net present value of C$2,116 million. Projected initial 10 year average annual operating cashflows (EBITDA) of C$421 million per annum ( Mpa ) and LOM average annual operating cashflows of C$587Mpa. Further details of the Feasibility Study are contained in the news release dated January 30, Commencement of Detailed Design Engineering on Vista On March 21, 2012 Coalspur announced that it commenced detailed design engineering on Vista. The detailed engineering will build on the Feasibility Study and provide for the final mine, infrastructure and process design for Vista. An owner s team of project professionals will be responsible for the overall project management for Coalspur. CWA Engineering Inc. was contracted to perform the engineering, procurement and construction management of the project and will engage subcontractors to perform other specialized services. Optimization Study on Vista Increases Production to 12.0Mtpa On April 26, 2012 Coalspur announced the results of an optimization study on Vista which resulted in the increase in forecast annual marketable coal production capacity by 0.8Mtpa to 12.0Mtpa. 2

3 The optimization study was completed by CPG Resources QCC Pty Ltd ( CPG ) as part of the ongoing engineering work on Vista. The optimization study included an analysis of the relationship between the clean coal production potential from Vista compared to the annual plant operating hours. The study concluded that the coal process plant is capable of operating at approximately 7,300 hours per year (83% net effective utilization) as compared to 6,800 hours per year (78% net effective utilization) which was estimated in the Feasibility Study. The increase in operating hours is possible through enhanced scheduling between mining operations and the coal process plant and from optimized equipment selection. Table 1: Optimization Study Clean Coal Production Summary Clean Coal Production (Mtpa) Annual Plant Operating Hours Net Effective Utilization Monthly Plant Operating Hours Monthly Cumulative Operating Days Hour Variance Cumulative Operating Day Variance ,791 78% ,276 83% Increased Port Capacity at Ridley Terminals Up to 13.5Mtpa During the quarter Coalspur announced that it had concluded a second agreement with Ridley Terminals on terms for the shipment of export thermal coal from Vista for an additional 5.0Mtpa. This follows an earlier agreement with Ridley Terminals, which was announced in October 2011, which entitles Coalspur to 8.5Mtpa of port allocation and contains similar commercial terms. Coalspur has now contracted up to 13.5Mtpa of throughput allocation which satisfies the port requirements for Vista. Any excess port capacity will be utilized through production enhancements at Vista and other development opportunities. Submission of Regulatory Applications for Phase 1 of Vista Coalspur progressed the regulatory applications for Phase 1 of Vista required to construct, operate and commission Phase 1 of Vista which will allow for production of up to 5.0Mtpa for 20 years. These applications include an Environmental Impact Assessment ( EIA ), regulatory applications under the Coal Conservation Act, Alberta Environmental Enhancement Act ( EPEA ), and Public Lands Act. Coalspur expects to receive approval of these regulatory applications in early 2013 with construction on Vista to commence immediately afterwards. Following submission of the Phase 1 regulatory applications, Coalspur will commence the regulatory applications for Phase 2 of Vista, which will expand the capacity of Vista from 5.0Mtpa to 12.0Mtpa. Coalspur is scheduled to submit the Phase 2 applications in This twophase regulatory approach follows the schedule outlined in the Vista Feasibility Study which utilizes the Mine Permit and Coal Processing Plant Approval that was transferred to Coalspur by the Alberta Government in May

These options will expire 3 years from the date of issue; and Coalspur will also issue 7 million unlisted funding options, which will vest at the rate of 1 million options per C$10.0 million drawn, with an exercise price equal to the greater of A$ , or 120% of the volume weighted average market price for the 5 trading days prior to the relevant drawdown date. The options will expire 3 years from their respective vesting dates. Unvested options cannot be exercised and will expire on repayment or termination of the Facility Agreement. Acquisition of Additional Coal Leases On April 30, 2012 the Company announced that it had acquired 14,432 hectares of coal bearing leases adjacent to Vista ( Vista Extension ) for C$13 million in cash. Vista Extension is located on the northeast boundary of Vista and is in a land use area classified as category four which is the most favourable for resource development in Alberta. Coalspur is now focusing on maximizing the value of Vista Extension. Coalspur is planning a drilling program on Vista Extension in the coming months to support future technical studies on the property. A JORC and NI compliant Coal Resource estimate is underway and will be completed shortly. Figure 4: Additional Coal Leases Acquired Discussions with Potential Strategic Investment Partners The Company continues to pursue strategic investment partners who may provide future funding for the development of Vista and enter in to coal marketing arrangements. The process has resulted in a number of potential strategic parties expressing interest in Vista. The 5

6 Company has shortlisted several parties with which is continues discussions in relation to funding the development of Vista. Coalspur has engaged a financial advisor to assist with the transaction and is progressing to finalize the structure of any potential funding transaction. The Company currently anticipates that this process will be completed during the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year, however, the structure of any transaction and/or funding arrangement is yet to be determined. The facility agreement with the Highland Park Group provides flexibility for a strategic investor to acquire up to 25% of Vista. Going Forward The Company has a significant amount of initiatives underway that are focused on enhancing the economics of Vista and furthering the understanding of Vista South s potential. Activities in the coming months are expected to include: Continue project financing discussions with potential offtake partners; Negotiate a definitive transportation agreement with CN Rail; Update the resource estimate on the Vista South Coal Project ( Vista South ); Prepare a resource estimate on the newly acquired Vista Extension leases; and continue discussions with mining contractors to evaluate the potential of contract mining operations during the construction phase and the initial years of mining at Vista.
