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 results of the partnership were a dime ahead of the year-ago figure. Revenue Total revenue at Natural Resource Partners at the end of the second quarter was $91.4 million versus $79.6 million in the year-ago period, reflecting a growth of 14.9%. The favorable outcome was driven mainly by positive contribution from coal royalty revenues. The partnership also benefited from higher aggregate royalties and coal processing fees, which offset the reduction in transportation fees and oil and gas royalties. Reported quarter revenue was higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $87 million. Quarterly Highlights Despite a 2% shortfall in coal production over the prior year, total ]]></description>

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>

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.

		<description><![CDATA[Master limited partnership Natural Resource Partners L.P. (NRP) yesterday provided its production and earnings guidance for 2010. The partnership projects coal production in 2010 to be essentially flat, ranging from 41 to 50 million tons. The partnership guided total revenue in 2010 to be in the $235-$285 million range, with coal royalty revenue of $175-$205 million. This represents a 10% increase in total revenue and a 2% rise in coal royalty revenue, over the respective projected revenues for 2009. Management indicated that the partnership completed six acquisitions during 2009, which will contribute to a higher production in 2011 and 2012. It expects this increase to coincide with growing demand for both coal and aggregates as the economy recovers. Additionally, the partnership expects this increased production to generate escalating cash flows ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Natural Resource Partners L.P. (NRP) reported third quarter net income attributed to limited partners of 36 cents per unit, well above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 21 cents and second quarter net income of 7 cents. Results were driven by improved reported revenues as well as lower expenses during the quarter, offset by increased units outstanding due to the issuance of an additional 4.6 million units for an acquisition in 2009. However, net income declined 35% from 55 cents posted in the year-ago period. Total revenues declined 16% year over year to $64 million, while it rose 8% sequentially, driven by higher coal royalty revenues as a result of increased realizations for coal royalty per ton. Coal production in the quarter decreased 24% over last year and 4% from the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our near-term (6-18 months) outlook for the coal industry has improved somewhat from our previous neutral sentiment to a more positive undertone. Based off of various recent economic indicators, the U.S. economy appears to be stabilizing. Although the rest of 2009 is likely to continue on a path of weak steel and electricity demand relative to 2008 levels, several factors should help lift the coal producers in 2010. Reductions in capex spending from both coal and natural gas producers, the weakening of the U.S. dollar and most importantly Incorporatedreased steel and electricity consumption in 2010 should all be positive catalysts for the coal industry next year. As stated in earlier outlook summaries, benchmark metallurgical prices for fiscal 2009 have been set around $120/mt &#8212; off markedly from the $300/mt level ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of late, Natural Resource Partners (NRP) has contracted with Colt LLC, a Cline Group affiliate, to acquire around 200 million tons of coal reserves located at the Deer Run mine in Illinois Basin. The deal is valued at $255 million and will be executed through 8 separate transactions through 2012. NRP has recently paid Colt $10.0 million upon closing of the first transaction and gained control over nearly 3.3 million tons of reserves to be mined during the initial production scheduled in 2010. The deal will expand NRP’s production capacity in the Illinois Basin to nearly 20 million tons of coal per year. In 2010, NRP expects around $12 million of revenues from initial production in the Deer Run mine. Revenues will grow substantially once the full-fledged production starts. NRP ]]></description>
