Gibson County Coal

Gibson County Coal operates the Gibson mine, an underground mining complex located near the city of Princeton in Gibson County, Indiana. The mine began production in November 2000 and utilizes continuous mining units employing room-and-pillar mining techniques to produce low-sulfur coal. The preparation plant has a throughput capacity of 700 tons of raw coal an hour. We refer to the reserves mined at this location as "Gibson North" reserves. We also control undeveloped reserves in Gibson County, which are not contiguous to the reserves currently being mined. We refer to these as the "Gibson South" reserves. Plans to develop these reserves across the Galatia Channel from the active Gibson "North" mine remain open ended and market dependent. Reserve estimates denote 82.7 million tons in the initial reserve field.

Production from Gibson historically has been primarily shipped via truck on U.S. and state highways or transported by rail on CXS and Norfolk Southern Railway railroads directly to customers or to various transloading facilities, including our Mt. Vernon transloading facility, for sale to customers capable of receiving barge deliveries. In 2007, we completed construction of a new rail loop at Gibson providing access to both the CSX and Norfolk Southern railroads, expanding the market for coal produced at Gibson "North".
