[In millions of short tons (495,666 represents 495,666,000,000). As of January 1.The demonstrated reserve base is the sum of coal in both measured and indicated resource
categories of reliability. Measured resources of coal are estimates that have a high degree of geologic assurance from sample analyes and measurements from closely spaced and
geological well known sample sites. Indicatedresources are estimates based partly from sample and analyses and measurements and partly from reasonable geologic projections. For more
