New technologies in horizontal drilling and hydrologic fracturing are significantly improving the recovery efforts of natural gas. . In addition, advancements in coal mining technologies will improve productivity, reduce costs and improve safety.

On February 10, 2010 the Company executed an option to acquire 6615 acres of natural gas and oil rights in Knox County Kentucky. These properties are located directly in one of the most prolific natural gas, oil and coal regions in the Appalachian Basin.
