- Average Mine Price is calculated by dividing the total free on board (f.o.b.) mine value of the coal produced by the total production. Excludes silt, culm, refuse bank, slurry dam, and dredge operations. Excludes mines producing less than 10,000 short tons, which are not required to provide these data.
