and Health Administration visited its wholly-owned MC Mining, LLC subsidiary to recognize the safe and successful recovery of the Excel No. 3 mine from an underground mine fire that occurred on December 25, 2004. Through the implementation of an
innovative mine recovery plan jointly developed by MC Mining and emergency response teams from the U.S. Department of Labor&#146;s Mine Safety and Health Administration (&#147;MSHA&#148;) and the Kentucky Office of Mine Safety and Licensing
(&#147;OMSL&#148;), the Excel No. 3 mine returned to production on February 21, 2005 (See ARLP Press Release, dated February 21, 2005.) </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;The rapid response and technical capabilities of MSHA&#146;s Mine Emergency Response Team were essential factors in the successful recovery of the Excel No. 3
mine,&#148; said Joseph W. Craft III, President and Chief Executive Officer. &#147;The efforts and expertise of MSHA and OMSL rescue personnel were critical to MC Mining in the development and execution of the recovery techniques used so effectively
at Excel No. 3.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">MC Mining, working closely with mine rescue teams from
MSHA and OMSL, utilized both state-of-the-art technology and traditional methods to analyze the situation, monitor mine conditions and access the mine to develop and implement the Excel No. 3 mine recovery plan. A series of boreholes drilled into
the mine from the surface were used to inject nitrogen to suppress the fire and to monitor mine atmospheric conditions throughout the recovery effort. Once the fire was suppressed, an MSHA robot was sent into the Excel No. 3 mine to remotely collect
data from the fire area. Mine rescue teams then entered the mine to construct temporary and permanent barriers designed to completely contain and isolate the area of the mine affected by the fire. After permanently isolating the fire area, MC Mining
crews restored ventilation, began repair and rehabilitation of the mine infrastructure and returned the mine to production last week. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

the recovery,&#148; stated Mr. Craft. &#147;This remarkable outcome was made possible in large part by the cooperation and assistance MSHA and OMSL. We are honored by their presence here today and sincerely appreciate their support. We also want to
acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our affiliated operations; their firefighting and recovery efforts were critical to our success at Excel No. 3. Finally, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to our local communities and business partners
