VSUS Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: VSUT), a coal company with operations in Colombia, today announced the preliminary results of a recently completed Estimate of Reserves Engineering Report at its La Tabaquera coal mining concession in Guaduas, Colombia.
According to the engineering report there are 17,000,000 metric tons of coal reserves on this property. The width of the property was measured at 238 meters by a length of 2150 meters, taking into consideration 20 layers with variable widths between 20 cm to 7 meters. With this method the reserves were calculated at 13,073,935 m3, equivalent to a total of 16,996,116 metric tons, assuming a density of 1.3 ton/m3. The full report is being translated and will be posted on the company's website.
For purposes of this evaluation, it is estimated that 70% of the reserves are exploitable. It is also estimated that the price for coal in the ground "in situ" is US $ 3/mt for thermal coal and US $ 9/mt for metallurgic or coking coal. According to this valuation method the gross value of the coal reserves while in the ground at La Tabaquera is US $ 70,230,085, taking into account 70% exploitation, the "in situ" value of the mine exceeds $ 49,000,000.
"Our team visited the mine on September 6th and 7th and identified other concessions in the area with potential sizable reserves that we intend to acquire from our major shareholder once the contract concessions are granted. They will add up to an additional 5000 ha with the probability of hundreds of millions of metric tons of high quality coal reserves," commented John Campo, President of VSUS Technologies Inc.

Transportation, Logistics and Other Information
VSUS Technologies is consulting to build or acquire wholly owned river loading facilities on the Magdalena River close to our mines. The coal will be trucked to these river ports, and then barged via the Magdalena River to the Ports of Barranquilla, Santa Marta, or Cartagena for export. The Company plans to build or acquire a river barge transportation company and an export coal terminal in Barranquilla, Colombia. Initially we will use existing facilities while our transportation projects are being developed. The Colombian and Chinese Governments are jointly improving railroads that will facilitate local coal producers' ability to export. After the rail projects and the "Road to the Sun" project are completed, VSUS Technologies will have one of the only coal mines in the World with river, rail, and road access to coal export terminals on both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
