2.03.8 page 1 <br />King Coal Mine has been mining federal coal resources since <br />1941 on a continuous basis to the present time. Federal Coal Lease <br />C-29125 issued October 29, 1981 and containing 180 acres of Federal <br />Coal Reserves adjacent to and directly south of original Coal Lease <br />P-058300, containing 160 acres, extended the life of the mine <br />approximately 10 additional years at current production levels. <br />The MLRB permit issued to National King Coal under final rules <br />in 1981 for a period of 5 years covered the life of the mine unless <br />a new Federal Coal Lease was granted. As this lease was finalized <br />in 1982, MLRB permit C-81-035 was renewed August 18, 1987. <br />National King Coal, Inc. has acquired a modification to Lease <br />C-29125, as shown on Map C-3, with the expected mining projections. <br />Acquiring the modification does not extend the life of the mine, <br />but replaces un-minable reserves in present leases. (See report <br />from Fred M. Johnson, C.P.G., dated November 17, 1988 in Section <br />2.03.8 pages 2-6). <br />In addition to the modification to Lease C-29125, National <br />King Coal, Inc. has acquired two private coal leases, as shown on <br />Map C-2. These leases extended the life of the mine to 262 months. <br />(See Addenda, Section 2.03.8 page 2A.) Projected sequence of <br />operations is shown on Map X-002A. <br />On September 1, 1990, National King Coal, Inc. acquired <br />Federal Coal Lease COC 49465 containing 193.08 acres. This lease <br />extends the life of the mine to 358 months. (See Addenda, Section <br />2.03.8). Projected sequence of operations is shown on Map X 002. <br />~r, <br /> <br />
