('BTU' or the 'Company') (BTU-TSX:V) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Jean-Marc Lacoste to the BTU Board of Directors and Audit Committee. Mr. Lacoste is currently President, CEO and Director of Monarch Gold, a gold producer with a Measured & Indicated resource in excess of 2.5 million ounces. Monarch Gold is listed under the symbol MQR on the Toronto Stock Exchange. After earning his bachelor's degree in Economics from McGill University in Montreal, Mr. Lacoste started a career in finance at the Montreal Stock Exchange where he worked for National Bank Financial and, subsequently, Merrill Lynch Canada. In 2000 he left Montreal for Toronto to join Northland Power, a wind power energy corporation, as Vice President of Acquisitions. He returned to Montreal in 2002 where he joined the boards of a few public and private companies. From 2004 to 2010, he took a major role in Golden Goose Resources Inc. where he became President, CEO and Chairman before joining Monarch Gold. Mr. Lacoste has an extensive background in mining leadership, operations, finance and capital raising. BTU CEO, Paul Wood commented, 'We warmly welcome Mr. Lacoste to BTU. His all-around skill-sets and leadership ability will be of substantial assistance as the Company advances its Dixie Halo properties in Red Lake, contiguous with Great Bear Resources, as well as its properties in Galway, Ireland.' The Company has granted Mr. Lacoste 400,000 options at 11 cents per share in support of his role as Independent Director and Audit Committee. Concurrent with the appointment of Mr. Lacoste, the Company announces the resignation of Ms. Twila Jensen. Ms. Jensen has served on the BTU Board for the past three years. The Company very much appreciates Ms. Jensen's contribution over the past years during which time the Company sourced its qualifying transaction and since grew its portfolio to include its Red Lake properties. The Board wishes Ms. Jensen every success with her future endeavours.
