Coastal Pacific Mining Corp. (OTCBB: CPMCF) ("Coastal Pacific" or the "Company"), announced today that BUYINS.NET, reported that Coastal Pacific Mining has been added to the Threshold Security Lists (aka "Naked Short List"). There is a failure to deliver in shares of CPMCF.

Regulation SHO took effect January 3, 2005, and provides a regulatory framework governing short selling of securities. It was designed with the objective of simplifying and modernizing short sale regulation and providing controls where they are most needed. At the conclusion of each settlement day, data is provided on securities in which: 1) there are at least 10,000 shares in aggregate failed deliveries for the security for five consecutive settlement days, and 2) these failures constitute at least 0.5% of the issuer's total shares outstanding. Regulation SHO mandates that, if a clearing agent has had a fail-to-deliver position, that clearing agent, and the broker/dealer it clears for, must purchase securities to close out its fail to deliver position. Amended Regulation SHO states that any failure to deliver without an exemption must cover by the morning of T+4, which is one day after the short sale transaction has settled. If these conditions are not met, then the short seller and the firm the transaction was cleared through are not in compliance with Regulation SHO.

Regulation SHO also requires bona-fide market-making activities to include making purchases and sales in roughly comparable amounts. The Commission has stated that bona-fide market-making DOES NOT include activity that is related to speculative selling strategies or investment purposes of the broker-dealer and is disproportionate to the usual market making patterns or practices of the broker-dealer in that security. Likewise, where a market-maker posts continually at or near the best offer, but does not also post at or near the best bid, the market-maker's activities would not generally qualify as bona-fide market-making. Moreover, a market-maker that continually executes short sales away from its posted quotes would generally not be considered to be engaging in bona-fide market-making.
