MicroCoal(R) Technologies Settles Litigation

Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - MicroCoal® Technologies Inc. (CSE: MTI) (Frankfurt: OFS.F) (OTC: CFQSF) (“MicroCoal” or the “Company”) announced today that a settlement has been reached in respect of a lawsuit filed in February 2012 by Phoenix Alliance Corp. The lawsuit, filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, claimed damages of $450,000 and unspecified interest and court costs against MicroCoal.  MicroCoal argued that the claim had no merit and was based on an agreement that had long expired. To settle the lawsuit, the Company agreed to pay $20,000 to Phoenix Alliance Corp. to defray legal fees, in exchange for dropping the lawsuit and providing a comprehensive release of the Company and its management.

Said MicroCoal's CEO Lawrence Siegel, "The resolution of this outstanding litigation is part of our Board of Directors’ mandate to eliminate these distractions, so we can focus our energies on building value in our core business."

About MicroCoal™ Technologies Inc.

The Company is focused on commercializing its unique, clean-coal upgrading technology known as MicroCoal®; a low-cost, patented microwave technology that reduces moisture in coal resulting in an upgraded energy content of coal. This process provides significant financial benefits to coal-fired electrical generating utilities such as: large cost savings from switching to low-rank coal, substantial increases in boiler efficiencies and heat output, improved ash efficiencies and reductions in scrubber costs. Important environmental benefits such as reductions in greenhouse gases and mercury can also be derived from implementation of this technology. The Company is currently constructing the first commercial facility in Indonesia and discussions for other projects are underway.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

“Dr. James Young”

Chairman of the Board of Directors
