NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Jan 25, 2012) - TurkPower Corporation (OTCBB: TRKP) (the "Company") announced today that it has established two subsidiaries in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) by the names of Sibcoal Mining Corporation ("SMC") and Sibcoal Commodities Trading Corporation ("SCT") on January 23, 2012.

SMC will be holding the Company's mining licenses for the Zavyalov Square of the Toguchino Coal Field ("Zavyalov") located in the Toguchino District of Novosibirsk Region, Russia. The Zavyalov Square decrees over 100M tonnes of forecasted extractable quantity of high-grade hard coking coal, which is fit for processing into metallurgical coking coal. The Company expects mining operations to commence in Q2 of 2012.

SCT is the Company's commodities trading arm and will have offices in Russia, Spain, Switzerland and the British Virgin Islands. The Company expects to sell and ship its inventory of coking coal worth in excess of $20M through its subsidiary SCT in Q1 of 2012, and to be able to announce a substantial long-term coal off-take agreement in Q1 2012.

TurkPower Chairman Ryan E. Hart commented: "This is an important step for the Company, for it allows us to initiate the process of transferring the mining licenses for the Zavyalov Square into SMC, as well as negotiate off-take agreements and commence commodities trading activities in SCT."
