Legal, Financial, Compliance and Related Information <br /> The New Horizon North Mine (NHN) area is located in the W '/2 of Section 25, Township 47 <br /> North, Range 16 West of the New Mexico Principal Meridian. A significant portion of the mine <br /> permit area corresponds to an area previously permitted by Peabody Coal Company (PCC), in <br /> connection with a permit application submitted in April 1980 and approved in May 1993 as Permit <br /> No. C-1981-008. Other portions of the NHN permit area were permitted and mined prior to 1973 <br /> as a portion of the Navajo and Nucla strip mines which were mined by the Edna Coal Company <br /> starting in 1958 and subsequently by PCC until 1992. <br /> PCC submitted an application for the Nucla Mine in April 1981 and Permit No. C-1981-008 was <br /> issued by the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division in May 1983. The separate Nucla East <br /> Mine was incorporated into the permit in 1989. In 1992, the mining permit was transferred to <br /> Western Fuels-Colorado(now Elk Ridge Mining and Reclamation, LLC)and the two permit areas <br /> were renamed the New Horizon I (NHI) and New Horizon 2 (NH2) Mines. All mining at NHI <br /> (formerly the Nucla Mine) was completed by PCC while mining at NH2 (formerly Nucla East) <br /> has been conducted solely by Elk Ridge Mining and Reclamation, LLC (Elk Ridge).
