A substantial or extended decline in coal prices could reduce our coal royalty revenues and the value of our reserves. Any change in fuel consumption patterns by electric power generators resulting in a decrease in the use of coal could result in lower coal production by our lessees, which would reduce our coal royalty revenues. Fluctuations in transportation costs and the availability or reliability of transportation could reduce the production of coal mined from our properties. Our lessees coal mining operations are subject to operating risks that could result in lower coal royalty revenues to us. Our lessees are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations that may limit their ability to produce and sell coal from our properties. If our lessees do not manage their operations well, their production volumes and our coal royalty revenues could decrease. Any decrease in the demand for metallurgical coal could result in lower coal production by our lessees, which would reduce our coal royalty revenues. Lessees could satisfy obligations to their customers with coal from properties other than ours, depriving us of the ability to receive amounts in excess of minimum royalty payments. Our reserve estimates depend on many assumptions that may be inaccurate, which could materially adversely affect the quantities and value of our reserves.
