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.
