(TSX:BUF) (JSE:BUC) ("Buffalo Coal" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that shareholders voted in favour of all items of business brought before them at the Company's annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Company ("AGM") held in Toronto, Ontario, on June 19, 2015.

The nominees listed in the Buffalo Coal management proxy circular for the 2015 AGM (the "Circular") were re-elected as directors of Buffalo Coal. Detailed results are set out below.

Shareholders also approved the appointment of McGovern, Hurley, Cunningham LLP as auditors of Buffalo Coal until the next annual meeting of shareholders.

In addition, disinterested shareholders approved the amendment to the Company's Stock Option Plan to, among other things, increase the rolling maximum number of common shares issuable thereunder, and under any other security based compensation arrangements of the Company, from 10% to 20% of the outstanding common shares.

Disinterested shareholders also approved the issuance of common shares to settle performance bonuses and previously allocated restricted stock unit awards for prior fiscal years to certain employees and the Chairman of the Company.

Lastly, disinterested shareholders approved the amendment of an existing US$25 million convertible loan facility with Resource Capital Fund V L.P. ("RCF"). The amendments included, among others, an increase in the principal amount from US$25 million to US$29 million to account for a new US$4 million secured loan from RCF, increasing the interest rate under the amended and restated US$29 million convertible loan facility (the "Amended RCF Loan Facility") from 12% to 15%, decreasing the conversion price of the principal amount of the Amended RCF Loan Facility from C$0.1446 to C$0.0469, and the issuance of common shares to RCF in satisfaction of the conversion of principal amounts of, and interest payments under, the Amended RCF Loan Facility.

Craig Wiggill, on behalf of the board of the Company, stated "The Company has continued to undertake various restructuring initiatives over the past year, to ensure sustainability in difficult market conditions. These have included the raising of additional funding from RCF and two retrenchment processes undertaken at the Company's operations in Dundee, South Africa, the second one of which is still currently in a consultation period as required in terms of South African law. The ongoing support from RCF and other shareholders has and continues to play a critical role in the turn-around of Buffalo Coal to enable it to rebuild its long term sustainability and profitability."
