TORONTO, ONTARIO -- Forbes & Manhattan Coal Corp. (formerly Nyah Resources Corp.) (TSX VENTURE:NRU) (the "Corporation") announces that as of September 20, 2010, it completed its previously announced business combination (the "Business Combination") with Forbes & Manhattan (Coal) Inc. ("Forbes Coal"), a private company. The Business Combination was completed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation pursuant to which a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation amalgamated with Forbes Coal (the "Amalgamation"), to form a new amalgamated company ("Amalco"), which now holds Forbes Coal's assets as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

Prior to the effective time of the Business Combination, the Corporation filed articles of amendment to complete a consolidation (the "Consolidation") of its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one new common share of the Corporation (each, a "New Share") for each 39.8 existing common shares of the Corporation and changed its name to "Forbes & Manhattan Coal Corp." (the "Name Change").

Prior to the effective time of the Business Combination, each special warrant of Forbes Coal issued pursuant to the previously announced Forbes Coal financing converted into one Forbes Coal common share. At the effective time of the Business Combination, shareholders of Forbes Coal received one New Share for each Forbes Coal common share so held.

The Business Combination, the Consolidation and the Name Change were approved by shareholders of the Corporation at a special meeting held on September 20, 2010. The shareholders of the Corporation also approved a new stock option plan (the "New Stock Option Plan") and the sale of the Corporation's current uranium properties to Valencia Ventures Inc. ("Valencia") (the "Agnew Lake Transaction"). The Business Combination, the Consolidation, the Name Change, the New Stock Option Plan and the Agnew Lake Transaction were each approved by approximately 100% of the votes cast by disinterested shareholders, representing approximately 23% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation.

The common shares of the Corporation will remain halted on the TSX Venture Exchange pending the listing of the New Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange under a new ticker symbol.

David Stein and Grant Davey have been appointed to the board of directors of the Corporation, joining David Gower, Stan Bharti, the Executive Chairman, and Stephan Theron the new President and Chief Executive Officer, replacing George Faught. The Corporation would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Faught for his invaluable contributions to the Corporation. Deborah Battiston will continue to serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation and Johan Louw has joined the management team as Vice President, Africa Operations. Jennifer Wagner has been appointed as the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation. 

In addition, the Corporation announces that it has completed the sale to Valencia of the Agnew Lake properties held by the Corporation in consideration of a cash payment of $500,000 and two additional payments valued at $500,000 in cash or common shares of Valencia, at the election of Valencia.
