Proven and probable coal reserves, excluding the Unconsolidated Mines, approximated 1.0 billion tons (unaudited) at December 31, 2015 and 1.0 billion tons (unaudited) at December 31, 2014. These tons are reported on an "as received by the customer basis" and are the equivalent of “demonstrated reserves” under the coal resource classification system of the U.S. Geological Survey. Generally, these reserves would be commercially mineable at year-end prices and cost levels, using current technology and mining practices.
