Re:	Peak Resources LP
	Registration Statement on Form S-1
	(File No. 333-282129)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Peak Resources LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), in connection with the preparation and filing by the Partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-282129) (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement relates to an underwritten public offering by the Partnership of up to 5,405,000 Class A Common Units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (including up to 705,000 Class A Common Units subject to the Underwriters’ (as defined below) overallotment option) (together with any additional Class A Common Units that may be issued by the Partnership pursuant to Rule 462(b) promulgated under the Securities Act, the “Class A Common Units”) pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) to be executed by the Partnership, Peak Resources GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”) and Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, as representative of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”). This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

We have examined originals or certified copies of such partnership records of the Partnership and other certificates and documents of officials of the Partnership or the General Partner, public officials and others as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of this letter. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed, certified or reproduced copies. We have also assumed that, upon sale and delivery, the certificates for the Class A Common Units, if certificated, will conform to the specimen thereof included as an exhibit to the amended and restated partnership agreement of the Partnership filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and will have been duly countersigned by the transfer agent and duly registered by the registrar for the common units of the Partnership or, if uncertificated, valid book-entry notations for the issuance of the Class A Common Units in uncertificated form will have been duly made in the register of common units of the Partnership. As to various questions of fact relevant to this letter, we have relied, without independent investigation, upon certificates of public officials and certificates of officers of the General Partner, all of which we assume to be true, correct and complete.
