In February 2012, [[Natural Resource Partners]] made its fifth -- out of the planned seven -- purchase of coal reserves at the [[Deer Run mineMine]]. The company bought the reserves from [[Colt LLC]], an affiliate of the [[Cline Group]]. Natural Resource indicated that the construction of the new [[longwall mine]] is underway, and the company expects to start digging for coal in early 2012. Going forward, Natural Resource expects net income from the mine to exceed $40 million per year from the mine.
To date, Natural Resource has paid $215 million of the $255 million slated for the acquisition of approximately 200 million tons of reserves.<ref>[http://www.marketwatch.com/story/natural-resource-partners-lp-completes-fifth-acquisition-of-coal-reserves-at-deer-run-mine-in-illinois-basin-2012-02-02?reflink=MW_news_stmp "Natural Resource Partners L.P.
