RE: should be soon

[old-and-in-the-way]

Completey agree with you DC. To add, had a discussion recently with L&L re more distribution deals. He pointed out that large customers need the assurance of a consistant quality level of coal. That is why the Taggert deal is relevant. They need to build a larger washing capability to upgrade the coal received from the smaller mines, and so be able to comfortably supply customers needs. Takes time, but the building blocks are being put in place, from large customer relationships to receiving, washing, distributing at collection stations by rr depots.

Of course further acquisitions still primary, in building to a 3M/ton/yr output in 2 yrs. The gov't change moves the process forward at the local level. We're still standing.........
