Midway Mine, Preparation Plant and Rail Loadout.

Midway mine is a surface mine located near the city of Centertown in Ohio County, Kentucky that 
extracts steam coal from the West Kentucky #13A, 13 and 11 coal seams. Armstrong has been producing 
coal at Midway since 2009 utilizing one dragline and the truck-and-shovel mining methods. Midway 
coal is processed on site at the Midway preparation plant, which has a throughput capacity of 600 
(expandable to 1,200) tons of raw coal per hour and has the ability to blend up to five types of 
coal using a nuclear analyzer. The Midway mine also has an automated rail loadout facility that can 
load 2,500 tons of coal per hour via a 150-car rail loop that connects to the P&L and CSX railroads. 
Midway sold 1.7 million tons of coal in 2011.
