BOGOTA, Colombia, May 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

New Colombia Resources, Inc. (OTC: NEWC) ("New Colombia or the 'Company"), a U.S. company with premium metallurgical Blue Gem coal mining titles and medical marijuana operations in Colombia, is pleased to announce they received approval from the Agencia Nacional de Mineria (ANM) of Concession Contract JJF-15481 for 1186 ha.

The Concession Contract was signed last year between the National Mining Agency (ANM) and Erasmo Almanza, Director of New Colombia Resources.  The announcement is being made now to make shareholders aware of this development and because the Concession Contract is now current on its taxes.  This concession contract is 11 KM parallel to the Ruta del Sol mega road project that connects central Colombia to the Caribbean coast.  Transportation of coal or raw building materials from this concession will benefit greatly from the Ruta del Sol.  The sizable mining title stretches two municipalities, Guaduas and Caparrapi.

This Contract adds to the portfolio of New Colombia Resources which includes a soon to be signed contract for 183.3 HA (452 Acres) contiguous to their current Concession Contract # ILE-09551 in Guaduas, Colombia. That new concession contract application number is OG2-10451. On April 15, 2016 the ANM posted a notice for Mr. Almanza to accept new terms for the concession contract within 30 days and adjust the Exploration Program Format A.  The Company intends to accept the terms of the contract and has adjusted the Format A as requested.  For a copy of the resolution visit http://www.anm.gov.co/sites/default/files/atencion_minero/estado_053_de_21_de_abril_de_2016-bogota.pdf

The Company's Blue Gem coal is only found on the KY-TN border and central Colombia and is used to produce specialty metals such as Silicone to make solar panels, electric car batteries, and many more next generation products.  New Colombia Resources has other concession contracts and application that will add thousands of acres of high quality metallurgical coal that will always be needed to produce steel and other specialty metallurgy products.  "No matter what your views are about thermal coal, metallurgical coal will always be needed to produce steel and other metals," stated John Campo, President of New Colombia Resources, Inc.

New Colombia Resources' Work Permit for underground metallurgical coal mining was approved on December 23, 2013 for their first Concession Contract ILE-09551.  The Company will begin the permitting process of the new concessions once the first Contract is in production.
