We self-insure our underground mining equipment.  Such equipment is allocated among 10 mining units spread out over 22 miles.  The historical cost of such equipment is about $258 million.



As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, restricted cash of $3.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively, represents cash held and controlled by a third party and is restricted for future workers’ compensation claim payments.
