Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 2, 2014) - Coalspur Mines Limited (ASX: CPL) (TSX: CPT) ("Coalspur" or "Company") is pleased to announce that definitive amendment agreements have been signed giving effect to the stand-by debt facility of C$10 million provided by Borrowdale Park S.A. ("Borrowdale Park"), which was previously announced by the Company on January 28, 2014 (the "Stand-by Facility").

Furthermore, Coalspur has been granted a waiver from ASX Listing Rule 10.1 ("Waiver"), to the extent necessary to permit Coalspur and its subsidiaries to extend the current security over its assets ("Security") in favour of Borrowdale Park in relation to the existing C$30 million Borrowdale Park loan facility, to the Stand-by Facility without shareholder approval. Under the Waiver:

(a)        the Security includes a term that if an event of default occurs and Borrowdale Park exercises its rights under the Security, neither Borrowdale Park nor any of its associates can acquire an interest in an asset of Coalspur in full or part satisfaction of the Company's obligations under the Stand-by Facility, or otherwise deal with the assets of the Company, without the Company first complying with any applicable Listing Rules, including Listing Rule 10.1;

(b)        a summary of the material terms of the Stand-by Facility and Security will be set out in each annual report of Coalspur;

(c)        any variation to the terms of the Stand-by Facility, which is not a minor change or which is inconsistent with the terms of the Waiver, must be the subject of shareholder approval; and

(d)        Coalspur must seek to discharge the Security when the funds advanced under the Stand-by Facility are repaid, or if not discharged, seek shareholder approval for the continuation of the Security for any further loan facility amount.
