WESTERN MINING DISTRICT <br />WMD (Panels 13 -Left through 17 -Left (preliminary (Phase 1), Phase II, and Interim Phase III development, <br />PR06 -07, TR07 -63, TR08 -64, TR09 -68) <br />During 2007 -2008, and the subsequent permit term (2008 - 2012), mine development (Phase I, II, and Interim III) will <br />progress in the WMD, with final Phase III development and actual longwall mining proceeding following approval of a <br />permit revision application (PR09 -08) addressing these activities. In preparation for future mining in the WMD, TCC <br />is proceeding with development of main and sub -main entries for Panels 13 -Left through 17 -Left. Alignment of <br />development entries may be adjusted, as necessary, to address geologic conditions. <br />Phase I through Interim Phase III development will result in extension of development in the 18 -, and 17 -Left gate - <br />roads to their furthest western limit, partial development of the 16 -, 15 -, 14, and 13 -Left gate- roads, and full <br />development of the 9- and 10 -North Mains. Development of the 18 -, 17- and 16 -Left gate -roads will extend into <br />the new Federal coal lease (COC- 72980) at the western edge of the WMD. Development of Gate -roads 13 through <br />18 -Left and the associated bleeder entries will involve mining coal from Federal Coal Leases COC -20900 (as modified <br />June 22, 2007) and COC- 72980, State lease CO -3229, and fee coal leased by TCC from NRC -CO 1, LLC, LLC. TCC <br />will proceed with further development (Phase 111), and mining of the WMD following approval of the pending Permit <br />Revision application (PR09 -08). <br />TR09 -68 2.05 -7.2 07/14/09 <br />
