Trump Mr. Robert E. Murray, Murray Energy Corporation’s Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, stated “This is a great day for America, as voters have elected Mr. Donald J. Trump as the next President of the United States. I have personally spent time with Mr. Trump, and I know that he will surround himself with the very best people to fix the many problems facing our Country. Indeed, Mr. Trump will finally implement a National Energy Policy whereby all energy sources will compete on a level playing field.” Mr. Murray continued, stating “This is also a great day for coal miners and their families, and for all Americans who depend on reliable, low-cost electricity, which coal provides, particularly those who are poor or on fixed incomes and those manufacturers who create products which must compete in the global marketplace. We congratulate Mr. Trump, and his team, on their victory. We will do everything in our power to support Mr. Trump as our next President of the United States.” Any further questions can be directed to media@coalsource.com. *** For further information, contact: Gary M.
