As you know, these <br />mines have been in temporary cessation since mid-1984 due to a <br />poor coal mazket. Recently EFMC has been successful in <br />negotiating some possible coal supply agreements with vazious <br />customers located in the southwestern United States. As a <br />result, we have decided to initiate operations at the Raton Creek <br />Mines to supply test-burn coal and ultimately, contract coal to <br />one or more of these potential customers. We aze currently in <br />the process of initiating renovation work underground and in the <br />prepazation plant to ready the mine for coal production which is <br />anticipated to begin oa or about September 10, 1988. <br />Initial mining operations will be conducted in the Raton <br />Creek #1 Mine. The Raton Creek #2 Mine will remain in its <br />current status, for an as yet undetermined period of time. The <br />coal produced from the Raton Creek #1 Mine will be washed and <br />hauled to the Burlington Northern Loadout Site in Trinidad where <br />it will be loaded onto rail cars for shipment. We anticipate <br />that as eazly as October, 1988 that coal will also be hauled from <br />the mine site to the Santa Fe Loadout facilities also located in <br />Trinidad for shipment. <br />
