L&L Establishes First Clean Energy Partner In China

SEATTLE, Oct. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- L & L Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: "LLEN") ("L&L" or the Company"), a U.S.-based company with profitable energy (coal) operations in China, and seeking to expand into China's clean and environmental initiatives, is pleased to announce entry into an agreement with WanYuan Environmental Protection Ltd. ("WanYuan") for broad based business initiatives. WanYuan is a Chinese sewage treatment company with a track record of over ten years of experience and processing capacity approximating 200 thousand tons per day. WanYuan seeks to expand into clean energy initiatives while also raising its capacity to 500 thousand tons per day. L&L intends to partner with WanYuan to assist their growth through a combination of access to the China Low-Carbon Industry Investment Center ("CLCIIC"), western-style management, and fund raising from Chinese banks and international sources.

Dickson Lee, Chief Executive Officer of L&L Energy Inc., commented, "L&L put an early emphasis on coal washing, which has reduced sulfur and other emissions in the regions we operate. We look forward to applying those same principles with the CLCIIC project and WanYuan. As China continues to put more emphasis on clean energy and renewables, we believe WanYuan's model for leveraging China's need for renewable sewage facilities will be an attractive opportunity for us and our partners moving forward.  This is a strong but measured first step in increasing our footprint in the industry and bringing value to our CLCIIC relationship."

Haichao Wang, Chief Executive Officer of WanYuan, added, "L&L is the perfect partner for us as we expand beyond environmental remediation and into cleaner energy sources.  L&L's business relationships and US expertise will enable both companies to capitalize on exciting new market opportunities."
