under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period January&nbsp;1, 2013 to December&nbsp;31, 2013 (the &#147;Reporting Period&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rule&nbsp;13p-1 requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products containing
&#147;conflict minerals&#148; that are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. These &#147;conflict minerals&#148; are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives of tantalum,
tin and tungsten (the &#147;Conflict Minerals&#148;). The &#147;Covered Countries&#148; for purposes of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Rule&nbsp;13p-1</FONT> are the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African
Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">CONSOL Energy is an integrated energy company operated
through two primary divisions, (i)&nbsp;oil and gas exploration and production (E&amp;P) and (ii)&nbsp;coal mining. The E&amp;P division is focused on Appalachian area natural gas and liquids activities, including production, gathering, processing
and acquisition of natural gas properties in the Appalachian Basin. The coal division is focused on the extraction and preparation of coal, also in the Appalachian Basin. </P>

supplies in the United States. Fairmont is a reseller of products manufactured by unrelated third parties, many of which are sold under the brand names of its suppliers. Fairmont does not have any factories and neither smelts nor purchases Conflict
Minerals. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Among the numerous products that Fairmont Supply sells are: </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Having determined that Rule 13p-1 may apply to the Fairmont Customer-Specified Products, CONSOL
Energy, through Fairmont Supply, engaged in a good-faith Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (&#147;RCOI&#148;) designed to determine whether any Conflict Minerals contained in the Fairmont Customer-Specified Products originated in the Covered
Countries, or whether any such Conflict Minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Fairmont Supply has adopted a Conflict Minerals
Statement stating that it does not condone the use of Conflict Minerals that fuel human rights violations. This Conflict Minerals Statement is publicly available on Fairmont Supply&#146;s website at
https://www.fairmontsupply.com/Attachments/conflictMineralPolicy.pdf. The policy provides that, effective January&nbsp;1, 2015, each of our suppliers that provide us with products that include, or may include, any Conflict Minerals must certify that
such Conflict Minerals: (i)&nbsp;were sourced from mines and smelters outside the Covered Countries: (ii)&nbsp;were sourced from mines and smelters that have been certified by an independent third party as &#147;conflict free&#148;, if sourced from
within the Covered Countries; (iii)&nbsp;were outside the supply chain prior to January&nbsp;31, 2013; or (iv)&nbsp;come from recycled or scrap sources. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Since Fairmont Supply is a distributor of mining, drilling and industrial supplies manufactured by third parties, it does not purchase any
Conflict Minerals directly from mines or smelters. Therefore, as further described below, the RCOI primarily consisted of inquiries to Fairmont Supply&#146;s immediate suppliers that any Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products either did
not originate in Covered Countries, or came from recycled or scrap material. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To begin the RCOI process, Fairmont Supply, through its
Purchasing and Materials Management, identified the universe of suppliers that provide Fairmont Supply with industrial hoses, connectors, valves and actuators included in the Fairmont Customer-Specified Products categories indicated above. After
identifying vendors that supplied these products, Fairmont Supply issued an initial request for information to each such vendor. This request asked for information on the source and origin of any Conflict Minerals contained in these products. None
of the responses received indicated that any such Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries. Fairmont Supply also distributed follow-up questionnaires to suppliers who did not respond to the initial request for information. Fairmont
Supply did not receive any representations indicating that these products contained any Conflict Minerals that were purchased during the Reporting Period originated in the Covered Countries. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Fairmont Supply either was unsuccessful in obtaining responses from a small subset of suppliers or received responses that suppliers did not
know the origin of Conflict Minerals, relating almost exclusively to valve actuator products. The RCOI process included following up with the non-responsive suppliers multiple times. However, despite persistent and good faith efforts, these
additional inquires failed to yield a response from this small subset of suppliers. Although CONSOL Energy and Fairmont Supply have no reason to believe that any Conflict Minerals contained in the Fairmont Customer-Specified Products may have
originated in the Covered Countries, CONSOL Energy and Fairmont Supply were unable to definitively determine the origin of these Conflict Minerals, based on the lack of responses noted above or the responses that indicated that the supplier did not
know the origin of these Conflict Minerals. Therefore, CONSOL Energy and Fairmont Supply exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals used in the Covered Products manufactured, or contracted to manufacture,
during the Reporting Period. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company describes these due diligence efforts in the Conflicts Minerals Report that is filed as Exhibit
1.02 to this Form&nbsp;SD. A copy of the Conflict Minerals Report is also available at CONSOL Energy&#146;s website at <U>www.consolenergy.com</U>. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">CONSOL Energy and Fairmont Supply were unable to clarify, after conducting the RCOI and subsequently exercising the required due diligence,
the country of origin for the Conflict Minerals included in the Covered Products. </P>

certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals are gold,
columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (the &#147;Conflict Minerals&#148;). The &#147;Covered Countries&#148; for purposes of the Rule the Democratic

<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Summary of Findings of the Due Diligence Process </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Having determined that the Rule may apply to the Covered Products, the Company, through Fairmont Supply, conducted a good-faith Reasonable
Country of Origin Inquiry (&#147;RCOI&#148;) to determine the source of any Conflict Minerals contained in its Covered Products. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The RCOI
process sought to determine the country of origin for any Conflict Minerals included in the Fairmont Customer-Specified Products described above. Because Fairmont Supply does not source Conflict Minerals directly from mines or smelters, the RCOI
primarily consisted of questionnaires, surveys and other requests for information from Fairmont Supply&#146;s immediate suppliers. None of the responses from Fairmont Supply&#146;s immediate suppliers indicated that any Conflict Minerals included in
the Fairmont Customer-Specified Products originated in the Covered Countries. However, a small subset of suppliers, primarily relating to valve actuation products, either did not respond as part of the RCOI efforts, despite numerous attempts by
Fairmont Supply to obtain the requested information, or responded that they do not know the origin of these Conflict Minerals. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although
the Company has no reason to believe any Conflict Minerals contained in the Fairmont Customer-Specified Products may have originated in the Covered Countries, the Company was unable to definitively determine the origin of any Conflict Minerals
contained in the Fairmont Customer-Specified Products, based on Fairmont Supply&#146;s RCOI. Therefore, the Company and Fairmont Supply exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals used for its products
manufactured, or contracted to manufacture, during the Reporting Period. These due diligences efforts are described in detail below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In
exercising due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals, the Company and Fairmont Supply conformed the due diligence efforts substantially in accordance with the guidance provided by the <I>Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Second Edition</I>, including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the &#147;OECD
Guidance&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Furthermore, Fairmont Supply has adopted a policy relating to Conflict Minerals, which incorporates the standards in the
OECD Guidance (the &#147;Conflict Minerals Policy&#148;). A copy of the Conflict Minerals Policy is available on Fairmont Supply&#146;s website at <U>www.fairmontsupply.com</U>. The Conflicts Minerals Policy provides that, effective January&nbsp;1,
2015, each of our suppliers that provide us with products that include, or may include, any Conflict Minerals must certify that such Conflict Minerals: (i)&nbsp;were sourced from mines and smelters outside the Covered Countries: (ii)&nbsp;were
sourced from mines and smelters that have been certified by an independent third party as &#147;conflict free&#148;, if sourced from within the Covered Countries; (iii)&nbsp;were outside the supply chain prior to January&nbsp;31, 2013; or
(iv)&nbsp;come from recycled or scrap sources. The Conflict Minerals Policy reinforces that Fairmont Supply does not condone the use of the Conflict Minerals that fuel human rights violations and is committed to avoiding the inclusion of Conflict
Minerals in the products that it sells. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P> <P STYLE="line-height:8.0pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:2pt;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;width:10%">&nbsp;</P>

Fairmont of industrial hoses, connectors, valves and valve actuators used in the Fairmont Customer-Specified Products. Fairmont Supply does not purchase any Conflict Minerals directly from mines, smelters, or refiners. Therefore, to identify any
suppliers where purchases of Conflict Minerals may have come from Covered Countries, Fairmont Supply issued supplier questionnaires and engaged in related follow-up efforts. As a result of these measures, as well as those described below, the
Company and Fairmont Supply have no reason to believe that any Conflict Minerals contained in the Fairmont Customer-Specified Products originated in the Covered Countries. However, based on the lack of responses from certain suppliers or responses
that indicated that a supplier did not know the origin of the Conflict Minerals, the Company and Fairmont Supply cannot definitively determine the country of origin of any Conflict Minerals contained in Fairmont Customer-Specified Products. For this
reason, the Company and Fairmont Supply undertook due diligence measures to better ascertain the country of origin for any Conflict Minerals contained in the Fairmont Customer-Specified Products. </P>
