Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On January 8, 2007, Justin W. Yorke resigned from the board of directors of PRB Energy, Inc. (“PRB”) and as the chairman of the board’s nominating committee.  PRB previously reported on Form 8-K that Mr. Yorke’s decision to resign from the board and as the chairman of the board’s nominating committee was not the result of any disagreements with PRB.  On January 12, 2007, Mr. Yorke informed PRB that his resignation was due to a fundamental difference of opinion with PRB’s management in the financing and strategic direction of the company.  These differences were not expressed in Mr. Yorke’s January 8, 2007 resignation letter to PRB.  PRB believes this difference of opinion relates to differing views with PRB’s board of directors and management regarding a financing plan that was presented to and unanimously approved by PRB’s board of directors other than Mr. Yorke, who was excused from voting on the financing options considered by the board because of a conflict of interest.  However, during the board discussions regarding the financing options, Mr. Yorke expressed his strong opposition to the financing plan that was approved by the board.

A copy of Mr. Yorke’s resignation letter dated January 8, 2007 is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1. A copy of Mr. Yorke’s email dated January 12, 2007 citing the reason for his resignation is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2.
