Description of Business


Primary SIC Code: 1221
(As filed with the SEC)  

We are one of the largest coal producers in the United States. At December 31, 2007, we operated 18 active mines located in each of the major low-sulfur coal-producing regions of the United States. Federal and state environmental regulations affect the demand for certain types of coal by limiting the amount of sulfur dioxide that may be emitted as a result of combustion. Due to these regulations, we believe demand for low-sulfur coal exceeds demand for other types of coal. Consequently, we focus on mining, processing and marketing coal with low sulfur content. At December 31, 2007, we estimate that our proven and probable coal reserves had an average heat value of approximately 10,000 Btus and an average sulfur content of approximately 0.71%. As such, we estimate that approximately 75.4% of our proven and probable coal reserves consists of compliance coal. We sell substantially all of our coal to power plants, steel mills and industrial facilities.  ... More ...
