SIZE="2">TULSA, Oklahoma, October&nbsp;26, 2005 &#150; Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: ARLP) (the &#147;Partnership&#148;) today reported net income of $34.5 million for the third quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2005 (the &#147;2005
Quarter&#148;), an increase of approximately 36% over net income of $25.3 million reported for the third quarter of 2004 (the &#147;2004 Quarter&#148;). EBITDA (net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and
amortization) increased 20% to $51.8 million in the 2005 Quarter, compared to $43.2 million for the 2004 Quarter. Results for the 2004 Quarter included a benefit of $18.0 million due to the final settlement of insurance claims attributable to the
Dotiki mine fire, which benefit was partially offset by $3.2 million of expense due to the buy-out of several coal sales contracts. (See ARLP Press Release dated October&nbsp;22, 2004.) Excluding the impact of these items, net income and EBITDA for
the 2005 Quarter increased over the 2004 Quarter by approximately 230% and 83%, respectively. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income is provided at the end of this release. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;After delivering another solid quarter of financial results, Alliance Resource Partners is maintaining its record pace for the year&#148; said Joseph W. Craft III,
President and Chief Executive Officer. &#147;As a result of our operational performance over the past nine months, Alliance has been able to respond to the growing demand of our customers by placing increased tons of coal into the market at
significantly higher average sales prices. We have also benefited from the re-pricing of some of our older contracts as they expire or reopen to market. Fundamentals for coal remain robust and, with development of our Elk Creek and Mountain View
mines and the transition of our Pontiki operation into the Van Lear seam progressing ahead of schedule, Alliance is well positioned to capture the benefits of the continued strength in the coal markets.&#148; </FONT></P> <P

$158.3 million for the 2004 Quarter. Revenues for the 2005 Quarter benefited from higher average coal sales prices, which increased approximately 19% to $33.93 per ton sold, and increased tons of coal sold, which rose approximately 9% during the
2005 Quarter to 5.6&nbsp;million tons. Coal production increased by more than 10% to 5.4&nbsp;million tons for the 2005 Quarter, primarily due to higher productivity at the Partnership&#146;s Warrior and Gibson County operations as well as the
resumption of production from the Newcoal surface mine at the Hopkins County Coal operation (See ARLP Press Release, dated September&nbsp;2, 2004). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

Increased operating expenses for the 2005 Quarter were primarily due to higher costs resulting from increased production, coal sales volumes and sales related expenses. Continued pressure on labor-related costs, maintenance and repair expenses, and
materials and supply costs (particularly costs related to steel, power, and fuel) also resulted in increased operating expenses for the 2005 Quarter. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

the same period of 2004. Revenues for the first nine months of 2005 improved by approximately 28% to $611.4 million and tons of coal sold increased by more than 10% to 17.0&nbsp;million tons, compared to $478.6 million and 15.4&nbsp;million tons for
the same period of 2004, respectively. Due primarily to increased production at the Partnership&#146;s Illinois Basin operations, total coal production for the first nine months of 2005 increased approximately 10% to 16.7&nbsp;million tons, compared
to 15.2&nbsp;million tons in the 2004 comparable period. </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">In addition to
increased coal production and sales volumes, 2005 financial results to date have also benefited from higher average coal sales prices realized by the Partnership, which increased approximately 16% during the first nine months of 2005 as compared to
the same period in 2004. Year-to-date financial results have also benefited by lower general and administrative expenses, which decreased $5.2 million during the first nine months of 2005, primarily as a result of lower incentive compensation
expense. Financial results for the first nine months of 2005 were negatively impacted by higher operating expenses as previously discussed in the review of third quarter 2005 results. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

$155 million. Guidance ranges for EBITDA and net income exclude the impact of any additional expenses, losses, or insurance recoveries attributable to the Excel No.&nbsp;3 mine fire (See ARLP Press Releases dated December&nbsp;27,

does not reflect the economic probabilities of whether earnings for an accounting period would or could be distributed to unitholders. The Partnership Agreement does not provide for the distribution of net income, rather, it provides for the
distribution of available cash, which is a contractually defined term that generally means all cash on hand at the end of each quarter after establishment of sufficient cash reserves required to operate the Partnership in a prudent manner.
Accordingly, the distributions we have paid historically and will pay in future periods are not impacted by net income per limited partner unit as dictated by EITF 03-6. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

present &#147;adjusted net income per limited partner unit,&#148; as reflected in the table above, which is consistent with our presentation of net income per limited partner unit in prior periods. &#147;Adjusted net income per limited partner
unit,&#148; as presented in the table above, is defined as net income after deducting the amount allocated to the general partners&#146; interests, including the managing general partner&#146;s incentive distribution rights, divided by the weighted
average number of outstanding limited partner units during the period. As part of this calculation, in accordance with the cash distribution requirements contained in the Partnership Agreement, Partnership net income is first allocated to the
managing general partner based on the amount of incentive distributions attributable to the period. The remainder is then allocated between the limited partners and the general partners based on their respective percentage ownership in the
Partnership. Adjusted net income per limited partner unit is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess:
