Note: Open
market includes all coal sold on the open market to other
coal companies or consumers. An average open market
sales price is calculated by dividing the total free
on board (f.o.b) rail/barge value of the open market
coal sold by the total open market coal sold. Excludes
mines producing less than 10,000 short tons, which are
not required to provide data. Excludes silt, culm,
refuse bank, slurry dam, and dredge operations. Totals
may not equal sum of components because of independent
rounding.
