SEATTLE, May 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- L & L Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: "LLEN") ("L&L" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based company with a track record of profitable coal operations in China, is pleased to announce it has selected top tier Taiwan underwriter, Taishin (meaning New Taiwan) Securities Co, to underwrite L&L's Taiwan Depository Receipt (TDR) listing.

In conjunction with the Taiwan listing, L&L is expanding its Taiwan operations, including establishing business with Apollo Technology in clean (coal) energy business and exploring opportunities with China Development & Industrial Bank (CDIB) on international trade finance.

L&L Chairman and CEO, Dickson Lee commented, "I am pleased to secure strong partners such as Taishin and KPMG for our Taiwan listing. Taishin team has demonstrated professionalism and support for our expansion into the Taiwan energy market. I look forward to working with Taishin to enhance LLEN shareholders value."
