Corporate Overview

We market our coal primarily to large utilities with coal-fired, base-load scrubbed power plants under long-term coal sales contracts. During 2010, we produced 7.4 million tons of coal. Our reserves and operations are strategically located in Northern Appalachia and the Illinois Basin to serve our primary market area of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. As of December 31, 2010, we controlled 93.5 million tons of proven and probable coal reserves. Our operations also include two river terminals strategically located in eastern Ohio and western Kentucky that further enhance our ability to supply coal to our customers with river access from multiple mines.
