II. Annual Productive Capacity. Report the maximum amount of coal that your mining operation could
have produced during the year with the existing mining equipment in place, assuming that the labor and
materials sufficient to utilize the equipment were available, and that the market existed for the maximum
coal production.

s.t.

III. Coal Beds Mined. Report the coal bed name, average thickness, percentage of mined coal and rank for each bed mined in the reporting
year. Please exclude partings of 1 inch or thicker from reported average coal bed thicknesses. Coal mined from the same bed should be
reported on one line. An exception is made if the same bed was mined in different pits or sections and if the average thicknesses in those
locations differ by 20% or more. If so, please report separately the average thickness, percentage and rank of the coal bed in the different
mining locations. See Section G of the Instructions for Classification Codes. If more space is needed, please attach an additional page.

IV. Recoverable Reserves
A. Recoverable Reserves. Enter the tonnage representing remaining coal reserves at this mine at the
end of the reporting year that you estimate can be recovered (mined) in the future. Exclude coal left in
place after mining. Report to the level of accuracy known, assuming today’s prices and equipment
currently owned and operable. If your recoverable reserves quantity increased or decreased by more than
40% from last year’s response, please explain the change in the remarks section.

s.t.

B. Recovery Percentage. Enter the recovery rate used to estimate reserves at this mine. Report the
mining recovery rate to the nearest whole percent. Minable coal tonnage multiplied by the mining
recovery rate should equal the level of recoverable coal reserves.

V. Dispositions of Coal During the Reporting Calendar Year
Quantity
(short tons)
A. Open Market Sales. Sales of coal to all buyers (e.g., other coal mining companies, wholesale
or retail coal dealers or brokers, employees and all consumers)
B. Captive Market Sales. Sales of coal to, or transfers of coal for the use of, the parent
company or a subsidiary of the parent company.
C. Coal Consumed to Operate This Mine (Please exclude coal consumed to generate
electricity that is sold to the grid).
D. Beginning Coal Stocks. Amount of coal stocks held at this mine at the beginning of the
reporting year including adjustments. Do not include pit inventory in coal stocks. Coal stocks
are defined as coal that has been mined and stored awaiting shipment or transfer to a user. Pit
inventory is coal in place which has been surveyed or prepared for mining.
E. Ending Coal Stocks. Amount of coal stocks held at this mine at the end of the reporting year.
Do not include pit inventory in coal stocks. See definitions in D above.
