CONSOL Energy Inc. Research Report
CONSOL Energy announced mid-March that smoke was detected coming
out from the Orndoff shaft at the company's Blacksville No. 2 Mine
in Greene County, Pennsylvania,
and that all 121 underground employees were safely evacuated with
no reports of injury. Federal and state authorities with the help
of CONSOL management were able to identify the general location of
a fire and is in the process of being contained and extinguished.
Today the mine is undergoing continuous monitoring of CO and
methane levels. Meanwhile, research from Sterne Agee says the fire
would only pose a minimal problem for the company since mine had
higher costs anyway and has increasingly valuable natural gas
operations. The Full Research Report on CONSOL Energy Inc. -

Cloud Peak Energy Inc. Research
Report
Cloud Peak Energy signed an option agreement with SSA Marine
where the company is allowed to ship up to 16 million tons of coal
a year through a planned West Coast port, the Gateway Pacific
Terminal at Cherry Point in Washington. Management says the deal will
allow it to expand overseas sales amid weak domestic demand for
coal, as the proposed terminal is intended to be capable of
exporting up to 54 million tons of commodities, including 48
million tons of coal, annually when it opens in 2018. Meanwhile,
Cloud Peak also has an existing separate option agreement to ship 5
million tons of coal annually through a second Washington port, the Millennium Bulk Terminals
in Longview. In other news, the
company expects coal shipments in the range of 87 to 93 million
tons for 2013 following a dismal Q4 2012 performance, as it has
contracted to sell 89 million tons, with 81 million tons contracted
for sale at $13.40 per ton. The Full

Central Fund of Canada Limited
Research Report
Central Fund of Canada saw its
net assets decrease by $115.3 million
during the three months ended January 31,

gold and silver during the period of 3.2 percent and 0.8 percent,
respectively. Meanwhile, administration fees increased to
$2.4 million, up from $2.3 million for the comparative period in 2012
as a direct result of the higher level of average net assets under
administration. Safekeeping fees increased to $1.6 million from $1.5
million during the comparative period in 2012. Expenses as a
percentage of average month-end net assets for the period and 2012
