What are Natural Resource Partners Lp's Business Segments?



Coal Royalty and Other Segment

We own coal reserves in the three major producing regions of the United States: the Appalachia Basin, the Illinois Basin, the Powder River Basin and the Gulf Coast. We do not operate any coal mines, but lease our reserves to experienced mine operators under long-term leases that grant the operators the right to mine and sell our reserves in exchange for royalty payments. Approximately two-thirds of our leases have a term between five to forty years, with many leases having an option by the operators to extend the lease for additional terms. Leases may include the right to renegotiate rents and royalties for the extended term. We also own and manage coal-related infrastructure assets that generate additional revenues in the Illinois Basin. In addition, we own aggregates and industrial mineral reserves located in a number of states across the country. As described in the "Other Assets" section below, we also own natural gas, aggregate and industrial mineral reserves that generate a small portion of coal royalty and other segment revenues.

Under our standard lease, lessees calculate royalty payments due to us and are required to report tons of minerals removed as well as the sales prices of the extracted minerals. Therefore, to a great extent, amounts reported as royalty revenue are based upon the reports of our lessees. We periodically audit this information by examining certain records and internal reports of our lessees, and we perform periodic mine inspections to verify that the information that our lessees have submitted to us is accurate. Our audit and inspection processes are designed to identify material variances from lease terms as well as differences between the information reported to us and the actual results from each property.

In addition to their royalty obligations, our lessees are often subject to pre-established minimum quarterly or annual payments. These minimum rentals reflect amounts we are entitled to receive even if no mining activity occurred during the period. Minimum rentals are usually credited against future royalties that are earned as minerals are produced. Typically, the lessee is time limited on the period available for recouping minimum rentals.

Soda Ash Segment

We own a 49% non-controlling equity interest in Ciner Wyoming. Ciner Resources LP, our operating partner, controls and operates Ciner Wyoming. Ciner Resources LP mines the trona, processes it into soda ash, and distributes the soda ash both domestically and internationally into the glass and chemicals industries. Ciner Resources LP is a publicly traded master limited partnership that depends on distributions from Ciner Wyoming in order to make distributions to its public unitholders.

Ciner Wyoming is one of the largest and lowest cost producers of soda ash in the world, serving a global market from its facility located in the Green River Basin of Wyoming. The Green River Basin geological formation holds the largest, and one of the highest purity, known deposits of trona ore in the world. Trona, a naturally occurring soft mineral, is also known as sodium sesquicarbonate and consists primarily of sodium carbonate, or soda ash, sodium bicarbonate and water. Ciner Wyoming processes trona ore into soda ash, which is an essential raw material in flat glass, container glass, detergents, chemicals, paper and other consumer and industrial products. The vast majority of the world’s accessible trona reserves are located in the Green River Basin. According to historical production statistics, approximately one-quarter of global soda ash is produced by processing trona, with the remainder being produced synthetically through chemical processes. The costs associated with procuring the materials needed for synthetic production are greater than the costs associated with mining trona for trona-based production. In addition, trona-based production consumes less energy and produces fewer undesirable by-products than synthetic production.


Construction Aggregates Segment

Our Construction Aggregates segment consists of our construction materials business that was acquired on October 1, 2014. The business operates four limestone quarries, one underground limestone mine, five sand and gravel plants, two asphalt plants and two marine terminals. As of December 31, 2017, Construction Aggregates controlled approximately 400 million tons of estimated aggregates reserves, including approximately 108 million tons of reserves leased at the Grand Rivers operation from the Coal Royalty and Other segment. The reserve estimates for each of Construction Aggregates’ properties were prepared internally and audited by an independent third party advisor. During the year ended December 31, 2017, Construction Aggregates sold approximately 6.3 million tons of crushed stone and gravel, including brokered stone, 1.3 million tons of sand and 0.3 million tons of asphalt. Our Construction Aggregates business is seasonal, with production typically lower in the first quarter of each year due to winter weather.
