North American Coal Corporation Business Highlights

Coal Production Overview

Coal fuels about 50% of the country’s electrical generation

•   Nuclear 20%

•   Hydroelectric 7%

•   Fuel Oil 2%

•   Biomass 2%

•   Other 1%

The country’s abundant recoverable coal reserves of over 269 billion tons help to provide a lower-cost energy source and U.S. energy independence

•   Coal production in the U.S. in 2004 was approximately 1.1 billion tons

•   Coal is one of the lowest cost fuels for base-load electric power generation, considerably less expensive than natural gas or oil

•   Natural gas prices are likely to continue to stay high due to domestic supply limitations

Energy sector shows moderate growth, but growth could be higher in coal industry if natural gas prices stay high and coal gasification technology continues to develop

•   New technologies, including coal gasification, show promise in cost-effectively reducing emissions
