 customers for costs incurred. NAMining Segment: The NAMining segment provides value-added contract mining and other services for producers of industrial minerals. The segment is a platform for our growth and diversification of mining activities outside of the thermal coal industry. NAMining provides contract mining services for independently owned mines and quarries, creating value for our customers by performing the mining aspects of our customers’ operations. This allows customers to focus on their areas of expertise: materials handling and processing, product sales and distribution. As of March 31, 2025, NAMining operates in Florida, Texas, Arkansas, Virginia and Nebraska.In addition, Sawtooth Mining, LLC (Sawtooth) will be the exclusive provider of comprehensive mining services for the Thacker Pass lithium project in Humboldt County, Nevada.

Thacker Pass commenced construction in 2023 and is targeting initial production in late 2027. Sawtooth will be reimbursed for costs of mining, capital expenditures and mine closure and will recognize a contractually agreed upon production fee once the mine is operating. In addition to providing comprehensive mining services, Sawtooth is currently assisting with certain construction services and will transport clay tailings once lithium production commences.Minerals Management Segment: The Minerals Management segment derives income primarily by leasing our royalty and mineral interests to third-party exploration and production companies, and, to a lesser extent, other mining companies, granting them the rights to explore, develop, mine, produce, market and sell gas, oil, and coal in exchange for royalty payments based on the lessees' sales of those minerals.
