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. |
