Kenny Director, Investor Relations (804) 788-1824 MASSEY ENERGY REPORTS JURY VERDICT Richmond, Virginia, August 2, 2002 - Massey Energy Company (NYSE:MEE) reported that a jury in Boone County, West Virginia returned a verdict yesterday evening against Massey Energy Company of approximately $50.0 million, including compensatory and punitive damages, in a lawsuit brought by Hugh Caperton and various companies owned by him, including Harman Mining Corporation. The jury found that Massey tortiously interfered with Harman's business and committed fraudulent misrepresentations and fraudulent concealment, in connection with a claim of force majeure under a coal purchase agreement. "We are shocked and discouraged by the jury's decision," said Don L. Blankenship, Chairman and CEO of Massey Energy. "We continue to believe that Massey's actions were an appropriate exercise of our legal rights. We find especially discouraging a damage award so clearly excessive and we intend to vigorously pursue an appeal." Massey Energy Company, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, is the fifth largest coal producer in the United States. ### -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
