		<description><![CDATA[Coal has been used for nearly as long as mankind has thrived. From the times of the cavemen to present day, coal is used for everything from cooking to heating to running steam-powered trains to generating electricity. Today, coal is burned as fuel or gasified to create a synthesis gas (syngas) that can then be used as a feedstock for the production of chemicals, fertilizer and electric power. Coal is also used for producing heat through combustion. The USA, Russia, Australia, China, India and South Africa have the largest coal reserves in the world. Coal is produced in 25 states in the US, spread across three coal-producing regions. The majority of the current production originates in just five states: Wyoming, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Montana. The importance of coal ]]></description>

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) dropped 0.1% to close the day at 12,708.82. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.05% and settled almost unchanged at 1,316.

		<description><![CDATA[by Justin Dove, Investment U Research Thursday, October 13, 2011 On Tuesday, the U.S. Energy Information Agency (EIA) released a report about the sharp increase in Ohio shale drilling permits. Steve McDonald recently wrote about the land value increases occurring in the region. As seen in the graph below, there were 20 times the permits granted in just September of 2011 as in the full year of 2010. (Courtesy: EIA, ODNR) Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) is leading the charge, with Chevron (NYSE: CVX) and Hess (NYSE: HES) recently investing heavily in the region, as well. “We’re quite confident about the [Utica] play,” Chesapeake CEO Aubrey McClendon told analysts on the company’s second-quarter earnings call.

		<description><![CDATA[by Justin Dove, Investment U Research Thursday, September 29, 2011 The Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program (OOGEEP) released a very bullish projection this month on the economic impact of Utica shale activity in the region. The report predicted that Utica shale production could generate 204,500 jobs in just four years and infuse billions into the regional economy. It follows claims by Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) that the Utica is “analogous” to the Eagle Ford. It also claimed that its holdings in the region could generate up to $20 billion for shareholders – greater than its entire current market cap. “The play reminded us of the Eagle Ford shale, which is distinctive because it’s a three-phase play of dry gas, wet gas and liquids,” Chesapeake CEO Aubrey McClendon said. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Diversified fuel producer CONSOL Energy Inc. (CNX) provided guidance for coal exports in the range of 10 to 10.5 million tons for 2011, up from the initial coal exports outlook of 10 million tons. CONSOL Energy is quite confident that the export market will remain strong for the remainder of the year and hence retained its current-quarter production guidance of 14.4 to 14.8 million tons. CONSOL Energy has to draw more from its inventory level due to strong shipments in the quarter. The strong exports expectation from CONSOL Energy came in as a surprise, while its peer Alpha Natural Resources Inc. (ANR) recently lowered its export guidance for the fiscal year citing reduced demand from Asian countries. Another compatriot Walter Energy Inc. (WLT) lowered its sales forecasts for the second ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Second quarter operating earnings for Walter Energy Inc. (WLT) came in at $2.36 per share, falling substantially short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.09. Such a miss stemmed from difficult geology in Alabama and weather-related challenges at both Alabama and Northeast British Columbia operations, raising the cost concerns for the company. On a GAAP basis, the leading met coal producer and supplier recorded an EPS of $1.71 compared to $2.16 earned in second quarter of 2010. Revenue and Operating Income Walter Energy’s total revenue of $773.0 million in the second quarter was below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $963 million. Revenues, however, increased 88.3% from the year-ago comparable period, mainly due to the addition of operations in Canada, West Virginia, U.K. and North River,and higher metallurgical coal pricing in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The rebound phase for the coal industry from the 2008-2009 turmoil continued in 2011. The global economic outlook started improving following the turmoil of late 2008. The U.S. economy came out of the recession in the summer of 2009 and has been in a recovery mode since then, though the pace of improvement appears to have weakened lately. Like the other commodity sectors, the fortunes of the coal industry are closely tied to the health of the global economy. The post-recession demand recovery helped improve the group’s earnings power, with most coal companies solidly profitable in 2010. This uptrend in demand, largely driven by the improvement in the global economic activity, rebound in domestic power demand, favorable weather patterns and soaring coal demand from Asian countries, also continued into 2011. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Coal and natural gas company CONSOL Energy Inc. (CNX) announced the closure of its Mine 84, located near Washington, Pennsylvania.  The company said the mine which had been in operation for decades producing thermal and metallurgical coal is no longer competitive. The company pointed out that the mine was idled in the first quarter of 2009. CONSOL Energy said the closure will incur total pre-tax charges of $116 million.  Of the total cost, about $111 million will be non-cash while $5 million will result in future cash expenditures. Pre-tax cash savings from the closure is estimated to be around $18 million annually. This action forms a distinctive part of the company&#8217;s ongoing efforts to reallocate resources to more profitable coal operations and Marcellus shale drilling activities. Going forward, CONSOL will ]]></description>

(BTU) has signed an acquisition deal with Thiess Investments Pty Ltd to buy the remaining 5% joint venture interest in an Australian coal mine, the Burton Mine, for AU$35 million.

		<description><![CDATA[The outlook for the coal industry has taken a turn after the long spell of weakness experienced in 2008 and 2009, driven by several powerful trends in the U.S. and Asia. Recent economic indicators suggest that the U.S. economy is regaining its stability, and sees a rebound in various industries &#8212; the coal industry being one of them. The emerging situation in Japan that has given the nuclear industry a black eye also is a net positive for the coal industry. The World Bank estimates global economic activity, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), expanded 3.9% in 2010. Global GDP is projected to grow another 3.3% in 2011 and 3.6% in 2012, with developing economies &#8212; led by China and India &#8212; expanding 6% or more in each year, ]]></description>

Various recent economic indicators suggest that the U.S. economy regaining its stability, bringing about a rebound in various industries &#8211; the coal industry being one of them. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), coal production in 2009 fell by nearly 8.5% in response to lower U.S. coal consumption, fewer exports and higher coal inventories. Going forward, the EIA estimates a 0.3% decline in U.S. coal production in 2010, as drawdown in both producer and end-user inventories are expected to meet the increased coal consumption in 2010. However, coal production in 2011 is estimated to improve 1.8%. At the current rate of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Coal producer Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU) joined forces with Winsway Coking Coal Holdings Ltd. to form a Mongolian joint venture. The collaboration, Peabody-Winsway Resources, was formed after Winsway acquired a 50% interest in the joint venture from Polo Resources. Winsway is the largest offtaker of Mongolian coking coal and supplier of imported high-quality coking coal in China. Peabody-Winsway Resources has coal and uranium licenses in Mongolia, and is actively exploring the South Gobi region. Peabody is the largest pure-play coal producer. Its Australian operations provide a direct exposure to Asian markets such as China and India, where substantial increases in coal demand are expected in the years ahead. Peabody’s growth story thus continues to ride on the strong China-India-Australia connection. Peabody Energy anticipates worldwide electricity generation capacity to soar by ]]></description>

The production has been restarted with all mining equipment Incorporatedluding the main long-wall mining system. Following the detection of a small increase in carbon monoxide levels, coal production at this mine was stopped on Apr 29, 2010. Dugout Canyon mine has 275 employees producing low-sulfur bituminous coal. During the first quarter of 2010, the mine’s production contributed 2% to Arch’s total production. The mine produced approximately 200,000 tons of low-sulfur bituminous coal per month in the first quarter of 2010.

The Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice have granted early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. Given the signal to proceed by the federal government, the companies expect to close the deal by April 30, 2010. CONSOL is moving ahead with its plans of expanding its gas business. In its effort, the company has entered into a $3.5 billion deal with Virginia-based Dominion and also announced a buyout of minority shareholders in CNX Gas Corp. (CXG). ]]></description>

This acquisition will substantially increase CONSOL’s natural gas reserves and production capacity – further enhancing its position as a leading diversified energy company with a balanced portfolio of coal and natural gas. The acquisition makes CONSOL Energy the largest and among the fastest growing and lowest cost producers of natural gas in the Appalachian basin. It will gain a leading position in the strategic Marcellus Shale fairway as its development assets triple to approximately 750,000 acres with the addition of Dominion&#8217;s approximately 500,000 Marcellus Shale acres in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony Daltorio, Investment U Research Monday, February 1, 2010 The price of thermal coal recently broke through the psychological $100 barrier for the first time in more than a year, just as a wave of brutally cold weather and heavy snow hit China. That storm disrupted mining operations and railway transportation, causing widespread panic buying among Chinese utilities that rely on thermal coal to fire their power plants, especially since they were running low even beforehand. Those shortages strongly indicate a major market change, as China changes from a coal exporter to an importer, despite it having the world’s third largest coal reserves. It began months ago, with Beijing clamping down on illegal and unsafe mining, a move that forced hundreds of small mines in the key coal producing ]]></description>

(CNX) posted earnings from continuing operations of 78 cents per share in the fourth quarter, higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 74 cents but below the 97 cents reported a year ago. The better-than-expected results came on the back of increased thermal coal realizations, while the decrease versus last year was due to lower thermal coal production, lower metallurgical coal production and lower gas prices. Net revenue in the quarter decreased marginally (by 0.47%) to $1,238.0 million compared to $1,242.7 million a year ago. The slight revenue decline in the quarter is attributed to lower sales in the metallurgical coal and gas segments, almost offset by an increase in thermal coal revenues.

(MEE)  the largest coal company in Central Appalachia, Virginia – announced third-quarter earnings of 19 cents per share, which was in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
