SEATTLE, Jan. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- L & L Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq:LLEN - News) ("L&L" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based company founded in 1995 with coal mining and distribution businesses in China, announced today that on January 19, 2011, L&L entered into a commitment document with Zhanjiang Port (Group) Co. Ltd ("the Port"), the largest public port inside the Zhanjiang Harbor ("the Harbor"), to conduct a feasibility study working towards establishing a large coal blending and distribution center inside the Harbor.

"After three days of onsite meetings at Zhanjiang Harbor with the Port management and government officials, we are excited to enter into written documents to move this coal project forward. Establishing a large blending and distribution center inside Zhanjiang Harbor gives us a strategic opportunity to better serve our customers from both sides of the Pacific Ocean," commented Mr. Dickson Lee, Chairman and CEO.
