RE: RE: IR Answer Some Questions....First of all, if mine #1 would have nothing (a.k.a. not enough coal production to make a profit), why would they hire 2 additional professionals??? That wouldn't make sense. And it's not like they just hired another "joe" from the street. They hired 2 people that have a vast experience dealing with coal mining, permits, etc. They know what they are doing and I'm sure their compensation from NAG will show this.
In my opinion, they hired these 2 people for the remaining possible 6 mines in Kentucky and also I believe NAG is constantly looking to acquire more mines in Kentucky (as they plan to be a long-term producer of coal in Kentucky--according to Charles and according to their NR). So with the addition of these ppl, it should speed up the process considerably).
