Open market includes all coal sold on the open market to other coal companies or consumers. An average open market sales price is calculated by dividing the total free on board (f.o.b) rail/barge value of the open market coal sold by the total open market coal sold. Excludes mines producing less than 10,000 short tons, which are not required to provide data. Excludes silt, culm, refuse bank, slurry dam, and dredge operations.

Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
