| Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements included in this presentation that are not historical facts, that address activities, events or developments that Rhino Resource Partners LP (“Rhino”) expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including things such as plans for growth of the business, future capital expenditures, competitive strengths, goals, references to future goals or intentions or other such references are forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” or similar words. These statements are made based on past experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other considerations Rhino believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Whether actual results and developments in the future will conform to such expectations is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Rhino’s control. Therefore, actual outcomes and results could materially differ from what is expressed, implied or forecast in these statements. Any differences could be caused by a number of factors, including, but not limited to: changes in governmental regulation of the mining industry or the electric utility industry; adverse weather conditions and natural disasters; weakness in global economic conditions; decreases in demand for electricity and changes in demand for coal; poor mining conditions resulting from geological conditions or the effects of prior mining; equipment problems at mining locations; the availability of transportation for coal shipments; the availability and costs of key supplies and commodities such as steel, diesel fuel and explosives; the availability and prices of competing electricity generation fuels; Rhino’s ability to secure or acquire high-quality coal reserves; and Rhino’s ability to find buyers for coal under favorable supply contracts. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements set forth in Rhino’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as well as other written and oral statements made or incorporated by reference from time to time in other reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements included in this presentation and all subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to Rhino or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and, other than as required by law, Rhino undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 2 RNO |
