Coal Supply Agreement with Hargreaves Services Plc

Energybuild Group Plc, the Welsh producer of deep mined premium anthracite coal and surface mined coal, is pleased to announce that following the voluntary liquidation of Evans & Reid Coal Company Limited ('Evans & Reid'), Energybuild has signed a three year supply contract, with the option for Energybuild to extend for a further two years, with Coal4Energy Limited ('Coal4Energy') a wholly owned subsidiary of Hargreaves Services Plc ('Hargreaves Services'), to purchase Energybuild's sized products at substantially similar prices. The Group does not anticipate any financial losses as a result of the liquidation of Evans & Reid.

Energybuild Managing Director Rhidian Davies said, "Through Coal4Energy we will have far reaching access for the supply and distribution of coal products, not only throughout the UK, but also into Europe through Hargreaves' European distribution network. Whilst we are disappointed for the employees and shareholders of Evans & Reid, we are very pleased to have reached agreement with Hargreaves Services and we look forward to working with them going forward."
