| Notes: Proved reserves of coal - Generally taken to be those quantities that geological and engineering information | |||||
| indicates with reasonable certainty can be recovered in the future from known deposits under existing | |||||
| economic and operating conditions. | |||||
| Reserves-to-production (R/P) ratio - If the reserves remaining at the end of the year are divided by the | |||||
| production in that year, the result is the length of time that those remaining reserves would last if | |||||
| production were to continue at that rate. | |||||
