understand your
       disclosure.

              Please respond to these comments within ten business days by
providing the requested
       information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If

your response.

                                                        After reviewing your

       Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021

       Item 1. Business, page 8

   1.                                                   Please tell us if your
mineral property summary disclosure includes all properties as
                                                        required by Item 1303
(a)(1) of Regulation S-K. For example the table on
                                                        page 8 lists eighteen
active mines, however your disclosure on page 56 states that you
                                                        have twenty active
mines.
       Item 2. Properties, page 51

   2.                                                   We note that the coal
reserves and resources disclosed in your annual filing for the
                                                        Kingston and Marfork
complexes are different than the coal reserves and resources
                                                        numbers in your
technical reports. For example, the Kingston coal reserve is 32,489,000
                                                        tons and the coal
resource is 21,254,000 tons in your 10-K filing compared to the coal
                                                        reserve of 60,740,000
tons and the coal resource of 28,337,000 tons in your technical
                                                        report summary filed as
Exhibit 96.3. Additionally the Marfork coal reserve is

         145,741,000 tons and the coal resource is 128,786,000 tons in your
10-K filing compared
         to the coal reserve of 117,491,000 tons and the coal resource of
121,702,000 tons in your
         technical report summary filed as Exhibit 96.4 Please advise.
3.       Please revise to include the information required under Item 1305 of
Regulation S-K
         regarding internal controls used in your exploration and mineral
resource and reserve
         estimation efforts.
Exhibit Index
Exhibit No. 96.1, 96.2, 96.3, 96.4, & 96.5, page 144

4.       Please address the following with respect to you technical reports:
             Include the information required under Item
601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(3)(iii) of Regulation
             S-K regarding your title, claim, mineral lease, or option
agreements.
             In certain instances it appears that mineral resources inclusive
of reserves have been
             added to mineral resources that are exclusive of reserves. For
example, Table 11-4 of
             Exhibit 96.3 includes a "Grand Total" measured resource of
105,204,000 tons that is
             the sum of 102,715,000 tons of measured resources that are
inclusive of reserves and
             2,489,000 tons of mineral resources that are exclusive of
reserves. Generally mineral
             resources that are exclusive of reserves are a subset of mineral
resources that are
             inclusive of reserves and are not additive. Please advise.
             Please revise the "Reliance on Information by the Registrant"
section of your
             technical reports to only include categories of information under
Item 1302 (f)(1) of
             Regulation S-K. Other information that has been included in this
section should be
             removed so that the information is consistent with the disclosure
specified under Item
             1302 (f)(2) of Regulation S-K.

        We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence of
action by the staff.

       You may contact John Coleman at 202-551-3610 or Gus Rodriguez at
202-551-3752 if
you have questions regarding comments.
