Highlight of Business Operations:
As of December 31, 2008, we owned or controlled approximately 827 million tons of proven and probable coal reserves in Central and Northern Appalachia, the San Juan Basin and the Illinois Basin. We enter into long-term leases with experienced, third-party mine operators, providing them the right to mine our coal reserves in exchange for royalty payments. We actively work with our lessees to develop efficient methods to exploit our reserves and to maximize production from our properties. We do not operate any mines. In the six months ended June 30, 2009, our lessees produced 17.5 million tons of coal from our properties and paid us coal royalties revenues of $60.6 million, for an average royalty per ton of $3.47 ($3.31 per ton net of coal royalties expense). Approximately 82% of our coal royalties revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2009 were derived from coal mined on our properties under leases containing royalty rates based on the higher of a fixed base price or a percentage of the gross sales price. The balance of our coal royalties revenues for the respective periods was derived from coal mined on our properties under leases containing fixed royalty rates that escalate annually.Revenues. Net coal royalties revenues increased slightly from $28.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $28.4 million in the same period of 2009, driven by a $0.05 per ton increase in average coal royalties per ton, offset by a slight volume decrease.
