FutureWorld (FWDG) Enters into LOI to Acquire Torchlight Energy

2.8 Million Tons of proven Coal reserves valued at $168M


St. Petersburg, FL, Jan. 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FutureWorld Energy (OTCQB:FWDG), a U.S. Diversified Energy Holding Company formed to capitalize on the burgeoning markets in natural and alternative energy technologies globally, announced today that the Company has entered into a Letter of Intent to Acquire Torchlight Energy Inc.. Torchlight Energy's assets consists of 2.8 Million Tons of proven Coal reserves valued at $168M (at today's price of $60 per ton). We expect to close this acquisition shortly. Environmental consideration in managing these assets will be our outmost obligation. 

Company's rational in investing in a natural resource such as coal, could best be summarized as the following;

Global Demand

Since 2009, China has been the driving force in global coal markets. Coal imports in that country exploded during the past five years, jumping to a peak of 35 million metric tons per month in December 2012. That's a 1,500 percent increase from 2008 levels. Changes in technology and some ground-moving shifts in global consumption patterns could spell better days ahead for the coal industry in general. Also, more than 20 percent of India's 98 coal-fired power plants are running at critical levels of coal inventory, meaning less than seven days' worth of supply. Globally, the coal shortage has a real potential to cripple India's power sector, a fear that has prompted the country to import coal at a high and accelerating rate. With a ground breaking technology such as Clean-Coal, coal will reclaim its status as the other "Black Gold". 

Economics

Coal prices peaked at $140 per metric ton back in 2008 when Chinese import demand began to surge. But today thermal coal has fallen back to half that level, currently trading around $60 per metric ton on average globally. And with an average mining cost of $42 per metric ton, we believe the fundamentals are in place to profit from the surging coal prices globally based on exceeding demand from China and India alone. 

Government Loan-Guarantee 

The Department Of Energy has finalized $8 Billion in loan-guarantee solicitation for "advanced" fossil-fuel projects that "avoid, reduce or sequester" carbon emissions. EPA has pinned the success of its rules cutting carbon emissions from the nation's coal-fired power plants on technology that captures carbon, nicknamed "clean-coal" technology. FutureWorld Energy will be applying for this loan guarantee in 2014 in a joint venture with our technology partners.  

This will be our first of many acquisitions. We are working on others in next few months. More information will be provided to our investors through our social media channels below;
