In October 2009, the Company acquired additional coal leases from LPL in Knox
County, Kentucky totalling 1,700 acres. As per the terms of the agreement, the Lessor
grants the Lessee an exclusive and undivided leasehold interest in 5 leases including
the coal mining and extraction rights. In consideration for the lease acquisition, the
Company was to make tonnage royalty payments to the Lessor as specified for each
individual lease assigned to the Company and a $1.00/net ton mined override royalty
payment to LPL for all coal mined and extracted from these properties, pay $25,000
USD and transfer 1,600,000 common shares of the Company.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company returned 1,420 acres of the
leases back to LPL and only retains interests in the Moore Lease for which the Company
has to make minimum royalty payments of $1,000 per month, and a tonnage royalty of
8% of the selling price of the coal sold or mined or $3.00 per ton. As a result, the
Company will no longer transfer 1,600,000 common shares to LPL.
