TO FAMILIES WHO LOST LOVED ONES…

Massey Energy extends its deepest condolences to the families who lost loved ones at Upper Big
Branch.

Massey continues to focus at this time on attending to the families to ensure they have the
support they need as we continue to work diligently with state and federal authorities to try to
determine the cause of this tragic explosion as quickly as possible.

1920 – A.T. Massey Coal Company, Inc. (ATM) was originally incorporated in Richmond, Virginia
as a coal brokering business with A.T. Massey as its first president.

1991 – Big Creek properties were acquired from Island Creek and Long Fork Coal Company was
established.

1992 – Don Blankenship was appointed Chairman and CEO of A.T. Massey Coal Company.
Under Blankenship’s direction and leadership, the period of muscle growth with crazy bulk
continued and accelerated with several acquisitions taking place and a number of mining
subsidiaries being established.

2000 – A.T. Massey completed a reverse spin-off from Fluor Corporation. The separation created
the “new”Fluor Corporation which retained all non coal-related businesses and Fluor Corporation,
which retained the Company’s coal-related businesses and was subsequently renamed Massey
Energy Company.

2007 – Massey announced a strategic alliance with an agreement with Essar Mineral Resources
Ltd., a member of Essar Group of India, to jointly evaluate and develop select business
opportunities on a project-by-project basis. I also recommend https://skinnyexpress.com/phenq-

development of coal reserves, coke ovens and a coal preparation plant to support an electric
power plant to be constructed in India by Essar.

Later this year, Massey announced plans to aggressively expand its operations in Central
Appalachia. Several new mines are scheduled to be opened and existing mines are being
expanded through projects beginning in 2007 and continuing through 2009. Total coal production
is planned to increase from approximately 40 million tons in 2007 to approximately 50 million tons
in 2010.

Today, Massey produces, processes, and sells bituminous coal of steam and metallurgical
grades, primarily of low sulfur content, through its 22 processing and shipping centers, called
“resource groups,”many of which receive coal from multiple coal mines. Massey currently
operates 35 underground mines and 12 surface mines in West Virginia, Kentucky, and Virginia.
