CALGARY, May 26, 2011 /CNW/ - EmberClear (TSXV: EMB) is pleased to announce the drilling program at the Tracy Slope Mine starts today. The findings from the diamond-drilling program of approximately 14 drill holes will be used to meet potential customer inquiries and will be included in an updated independent National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") compliant technical report ("Technical Report"). The previous Technical Report on the Tracy Slope Mine was prepared under the supervision of James S. Canterbury of Summit Engineering Inc. ("Summit") and is entitled "An Independent National Instrument 43-101 Report Summarizing Mineral Resources of EmberClear Reserves Inc., Porter and Frailey Townships Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania" issued on April 16, 2011.
"I am pleased we are on track with our drilling program at the Tracy Slope Mine. The results will enable us to provide the high level of details requested by interested parties in the metallurgical industry and will also serve to quantify the current resources that meet the reserve category qualification. We will also be able to assign tonnage to known seams originally estimated at zero as a result of past time and data constraints. Finally, we will incorporate the findings into our new mine plan," said Albert Lin, CEO of EmberClear.
EmberClear expects cash balances to be higher than planned as estimated costs for legal and accounting related to recently acquired properties were lower than expected. In addition, in the last quarter EmberClear recognized proceeds from the sale of the camera assets and, in the current quarter received the repayment of the T3 Motion Promissory Note.

All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. In particular, this document contains forward-looking statements pertaining to the estimates of coal resources, the quality of those coal resources, and the Company's plan to conduct a detailed drilling and characterization engineering study for the purpose of re-classifying the resources identified in the Technical Report into reserves and to develop a mining plan. With respect to forward-looking statements contained in this document, we have made assumptions regarding the worldwide demand for coal, demand and political support for clean energy technologies and the existence of coal resources or reserves on the Property. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this document, and the assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are made, are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements included in this document, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which the forward-looking statements are based will occur.
