We mine, process and sell high quality bituminous steam coal from mines located in East Tennessee and North Alabama and, until March 31, 2008, in Southeast Kentucky. We own the coal mineral rights to approximately 65,000 acres of land and lease the rights to approximately 42,000 additional acres including the rights to approximately 27,000 acres at our operations in Southeast Kentucky which were sold on March 31, 2008. We recently expanded our operation into Alabama through the acquisition of Mann Steel Products, Inc. As of December 31, 2007, our active mining complexes included two underground mines, six surface mines, and two highwall mines. In addition, we have four preparation plants, two active and two inactive, and four unit train loading facilities, two active and two inactive, served by the CSX and Norfolk Southern railroads.
