			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">August 31, RAPID CITY, S.D.,(Coal Geology): <strong>Black Hills Corp</strong>. (NYSE:BKH) today announced several leadership and organization structure changes that are effective immediately. Tom Ohlmacher, president and chief operating officer of the non-regulated energy business, has announced his intent to retire from the company in March 2011. With this in mind, Linn Evans, president and chief operating officer for the utility businesses, now has an expanded role that includes power generation and coal mining operations and will continue reporting to David Emery, chairman, president and chief executive officer. Black Hills Corp. &#8212; a diversified energy company with a tradition of exemplary service and a vision to be the energy partner of choice &#8212; is based in Rapid City, S.D., with corporate offices in Denver and Omaha, Neb. The company serves 763,300 natural gas and electric utility customers in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming. The company&#8217;s non-regulated businesses generate wholesale electricity, produce natural gas, oil and coal, and market energy. Black Hills&#8217; 2,200 employees partner to produce results that improve life with energy. More information is available at www.blackhillscorp.com.</p>
<p>&#8220;With Tom&#8217;s pending retirement after 36 years of dedicated service to our company, and with the majority of our significant integration projects completed, now is the time to adjust our organization structure so that we further optimize the way we do business,&#8221; Emery said. &#8220;Our focus must now shift from &#8216;unification&#8217; to &#8216;continuous improvement,&#8217; leveraging the newly integrated capabilities of our organization and the skills and expertise of our employees so that we continually deliver the results our shareholders and customers expect.&#8221;</p>
<p>Evans has established a new leadership structure for the business units now reporting to him. The new structure will allow the company to realize additional synergies between its gas and electric utilities as well as between the utility and non-regulated energy businesses. The restructured leadership team includes:</p>
<p>&#8211;  Stuart Wevik, previously vice president of electric utilities, is now<br />
vice president, utility operations and is responsible for all gas and<br />
electric utility operations.<br />
&#8211;  Ivan Vancas, previously vice president, operations for Black Hills<br />
Energy &#8211; Kansas and Colorado Gas, is now vice president, utility<br />
services and is responsible for serving all of BHC&#8217;s utilities through<br />
generation dispatch and power marketing, gas supply services,<br />
transmission services, engineering services, meter shop operations and<br />
customer service.<br />
&#8211;  Steve Pella, previously vice president, natural gas utilities, is now<br />
vice president strategic initiatives and is responsible for safety,<br />
environmental services, natural gas marketing services and supply<br />
chain.<br />
&#8211;  Mark Lux remains vice president and general manager of Power Delivery<br />
and is responsible for power generation and construction and coal<br />
mining operations.<br />
&#8211;  Brian Iverson, vice president of electric regulatory services, assumes<br />
interim responsibility for resource planning and renewable energy<br />
integration.<br />
&#8211;  Kyle White remains vice president of regulatory and government<br />
affairs.</p>
<p>Also as a part of the organization changes, Tori Campbell, vice president and general manager of Enserco, the company&#8217;s energy marketing business, will begin reporting to Emery. John Vering, in his interim assignment as president and general manager of Black Hills Exploration &amp; Production, will continue to report to Emery as he completes the strategic review of that business.</p>
<p>&#8220;I appreciate Tom&#8217;s contributions and the lasting legacy he has built at our company. In addition, I congratulate Linn Evans, Stuart Wevik, Ivan Vancas and Steve Pella on their new roles within Black Hills Corp. and look forward to their continued contributions to our success,&#8221; Emery said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">August 31, 2010, HARRISBURG, Pa.(Coal Geology): <strong>Governor Edward G. Rendel</strong>l today encouraged <strong>Pennsylvania </strong>residents to be better prepared for a disaster by creating emergency kits for their homes and cars, as well as creating a family emergency plan.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been five years since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf states, and as we look back at the devastation of that storm, we all have the opportunity to take steps now to ensure the safety of our loved ones before we have an emergency here in Pennsylvania,&#8221; said Governor Rendell.</p>
<p>The Ready PA website &#8212; www.ReadyPA.org &#8212; offers comprehensive information on steps people can take to prepare for emergencies, what to do when disaster strikes, and tips for recovering after the event. ReadyPA encourages all Pennsylvanians to &#8220;Be Informed, Be Prepared and Be Involved.&#8221;</p>
<p>Governor Rendell said history has shown that emergency responders cannot reach everyone immediately after a disaster, so families should have enough food, water, medication and other necessities, including pet supplies, to survive without outside assistance for at least three days. Families should also prepare a plan to communicate and reunite if they are separated during an emergency.</p>
<p>Residents also are encouraged to help their neighbors and communities prepare for and recover from an emergency by taking formal training through their local Citizens Corps council or Red Cross chapter.</p>
<p>Downloadable materials, including home and car emergency kit checklists and emergency plan templates, are available at www.ReadyPA.org and also through 1-888-9-READYPA. Citizens can find information about getting involved in local emergency response efforts and other volunteer opportunities through the Web site or the toll-free line.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">August 31, 2010, NEW YORK, (Coal Geology): In August, the <strong>Dow Jones Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI)</strong> rose less than one point signalling that the economic recovery continues despite a slow August.</p>
<p>The ESI registered at 43.2 in August, up slightly from the 42.3 tracked in July 2010. The rise is sluggish compared to last month when the ESI jumped more than two points, registering its largest gain since October 2009.</p>
<p>&#8220;The ESI&#8217;s stability during recent months belies some of the recent weakness seen in other sentiment surveys and suggests that the underlying momentum of the U.S. economy, including employment, remains positive,&#8221; Dow Jones Newswires &#8220;Money Talks&#8221; Columnist Alen Mattich said. &#8220;However, the ESI remains well below the 50-plus levels that characterize normal expansions. This relative weakness suggests it would take little to push the economy back into recessionary conditions.&#8221;</p>
<p>The ESI is determined using an economic sentiment analysis algorithm to review news coverage in 15 daily newspapers across the U.S.</p>
<p>Positive reporting on corporate earnings, increasing interest in the public markets as household names such as Skype SA and General Motors plan initial public offerings and encouraging local and sector-specific stories contributed to the ESI&#8217;s modest improvement.</p>
<p>News of record low new-home sales was counterbalanced by stories covering local real estate rebounds, including an up tick of home sales in the Hamptons and a bidding war over the John Hancock Tower in Boston. Thanks to strong aircraft orders, the transportation industry showed strength despite overall weakness in durable good orders.</p>
<p>The Dow Jones Economic Sentiment Indicator aims to predict the health of the U.S. economy by analyzing the coverage of 15 major daily newspapers in the U.S. Using a proprietary algorithm and derived data technology, the ESI examines every article in each of the newspapers for positive and negative sentiment about the economy. The indicator is calculated through Dow Jones Insight, a media tracking and analysis tool. The technology used for the ESI also powers Dow Jones Lexicon, a proprietary dictionary that allows traders and analysts to determine sentiment, frequency and other relevant complex patterns within news to develop predictive trading strategies.</p>
<p>The ESI&#8217;s back-testing to 1990 shows that the ESI clearly highlighted the risk that the U.S. economy was sliding into recession in 2001 and 2008 and suggests the indicator can help predict economic turning points as much as seven months in advance of other indicators.

Shanxi Coal plans to consolidate the eight coal mines into five, increasing their total annual capacity from approximately 1.6 million to 3.6 million metric tons. Shanxi Coal received another approval by the Shanxi provincial government to consolidate four additional coking coal mines into one coal mine in Huozhou County. After the completion of the consolidation, the Jianhe project is expected to increase the total annual capacity from 720,000 metric tons to 900,000 metric tons, according to the Shanxi provincial government&#8217;s approval.

<p>August 30, 2010, JULIAN, W.Va.: <strong> Massey Energy Company</strong> released further information about the handheld methane detector that documented the presence of explosive levels of methane associated with the April 5, 2010 explosion at the Upper Big Branch Mine. Massey Energy stresses on the fact that the methane detectors were exposed to a sudden inundation of methane and a simultaneous or near simultaneous fire or explosion, as measured by high levels of carbon monoxide.</p>
<p>The detector referenced in the Associated Press report was one of two detectors previously discussed by Massey and described in a report by the Wall Street Journal on August 10, 2010. The Company also provided information on the handheld detectors to UBB family members in a family meeting held on August 2, 2010.</p>
<p>Massey Energy released the following notes about the methane detectors:</p>
<p>&#8211; The detectors were recovered shortly after the accident and tested by MSHA on July 8, 2010.</p>
<p>&#8211; The detectors continuously monitor for methane, carbon monoxide, oxygen and temperature and record the highest reading for each every three minutes.</p>
<p>&#8211; The maximum reading on these detectors is 5% for methane and 500 ppm for carbon monoxide. Methane is explosive at concentrations of 5% to 15%. Carbon monoxide is caused by incomplete combustion.</p>
<p>&#8211; Recorded data show that both detectors surged from zero to maximum readings for methane (5%) and carbon monoxide (500 ppm) within a three minute span near 3 pm on April 5, 2010. Actual levels of methane and carbon monoxide could have been higher, as these detectors do not record levels higher than 5% for methane or 500 ppm for carbon monoxide.</p>
<p>&#8211; The detectors also record alarms every 15 seconds. &#8220;Low range&#8221; alarms occur at .5% methane and 35 ppm carbon monoxide. &#8220;High range&#8221; alarms occur at 1% methane and 100 ppm carbon monoxide. &#8220;Over range&#8221; alarms are triggered at 5% methane and 500 ppm carbon monoxide.</p>
<p>&#8211; Testing indicates that one detector, found at the longwall face, went from no alarm to an &#8220;over range&#8221; alarm for methane and carbon monoxide in less than 15 seconds near 3 pm.</p>
<p>&#8211; Testing indicates that the second detector, found around 3,000 feet from the first detector, recorded a &#8220;high range&#8221; alarm of 1% for methane and an &#8220;over range&#8221; alarm of 500 ppm for carbon monoxide. Within 16 to 30 more seconds, the detector recorded an &#8220;over range&#8221; alarm for methane. This also occurred near 3 pm.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">August 30, 2010 (Coal Geology): MOUNT LAUREL, NJ: Global Resource Corporation (PINKSHEETS: GBRC), a developer of patented energy-efficient microwave-based technologies for recycling tires, <strong>upgrading petroleum products and converting other materials to higher value hydrocarbon-based fuels</strong> or carbon materials, obtained outstanding results from<strong> Professional Analytical and Consulting Services (PACS)</strong> on producing high quality Activated Carbon that is, according to PACS, 97% identical to the largest Activated Carbon manufactured materials. PACS is an industrial leading, independent laboratory and consulting services company, providing state of the art testing and data quality validation in the activated carbon market. The company is headquartered in Coraopolis, PA.</p>
<p>Activated Carbon is used in mercury vapor removal for electric power generation, gas purification, metal extraction, water purification, medicine, sewage treatment, air filters and many other applications. It is a much more valuable commodity than used tire derived carbon black and a true green commodity. World demand for virgin Activated Carbon is forecast to expand an impressive 9.0 percent per annum through 2014 to 1.7 million metric tons or 3.7 billion pounds. Its value ranges from $1.15 &#8211; $3.00 per pound.</p>
<p>For the above reasons, GBRC shall now focus its technology to produce Activated Carbon from its tire plants and work with GTI (www.gti-e.com), an environmental services and recycling company with over 20 years of industry experience to market/sell all of the Activated Carbon by-product produced. In addition to developing markets for GBRC&#8217;s Activated Carbon by-products, GTI will play a major part in assisting GBRC with identifying key end users for GBRC&#8217;s patented microwave technology. This development now allows GBRC and GTI to focus on the Activated Carbon market and although carbon black can still be produced, it is intended that Activated Carbon shall become the major focus of tire extraction for the aforementioned reasons and for the outstanding benefits that can be derived.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is a major achievement for GBRC. Through rigorous testing we have discovered that 100% pure carbon black that is desired by the tire manufactures is very difficult to achieve and from the outstanding work completed by our research team in our campus in Morrisville, we have realized the opportunities lie much more within the growing Activated Carbon markets. Although we can and will continue to produce carbon black when decomposing tires, the financial margins and market potential for Activated Carbon are larger and more profitable,&#8221; stated Mr. Ken Kinsella, CEO of Global Resource Corp.</p>
<p>&#8220;Traditionally Activated Carbon is made from wood, coal and coconut shells, which can be costly. GBRC is the first and only organization to produce Activated Carbon from tires through its proprietary microwave frequencies. With this major accomplishment, GBRC has enhanced its value proposition tremendously while producing a material that is used in multiple applications to clean up our planet on an everyday basis. Activated carbon is a versatile and true green commodity and GTI&#8217;s market knowledge should help create a strong value proposition for our shareholders while providing the company with a revenue annuity from future facilities,&#8221; concluded Mr. Ken Kinsella.</p>
<p>&#8220;The PACS testing has yielded encouraging results and will enable GTI to explore additional new markets, especially within the Activated Carbon arena. We believe the Global Resources/GTI joint sustainability efforts can create a strong market value for this endeavor,&#8221; said Edward Russick, VP-Sales, GTI.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">August 30, 2010 (Coal Geology) : VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA:  Silverado Gold Mines Ltd. (OTCBB: SLGLF)(FRANKFURT: SLGL) (www.silverado.com) (the &#8220;Company&#8221; or &#8220;Silverado&#8221;) has timely made its governmental mineral claim rental and royalty payments of US $94,000 and the claims are therefore in good standing.</p>
<p>In another matter: the Company received its exploration, drilling, and underground working permit as requested. The multi-use permit, which is typically assigned year by year, was issued for a five-year period.</p>
<p>The Company, in its 38 years working in Alaska, has always maintained an open and co-operative policy with the 51 individuals representing regulatory bodies who are responsible for environment, mine safety, wildlife, and a myriad of other disciplines.</p>
<p>Our policy of open discussion prior to permit application with the many highly qualified regulatory officials that represent governmental policy for the protection and stewardship of Alaska lands, its resources and people, has benefited Silverado immeasurably. This valued relationship has led to noteworthy achievements including federal government construction of a $1,000,000 road from the Dalton Highway, seven miles to the Nolan mine site, and the classification of Nolan as an industrial stream (one of only two in the State) thereby allowing the discharge of solid particles into the environment. Nonetheless, the Company has practiced in all cases and will continue to practice a policy of &#8220;zero discharge&#8221; to the environment.</p>
<p>As metallurgical work on the Nolan ore has shown it to be amenable to easy separation of its constituents, we have been able to achieve high rates of gold and antimony recovery using only water and gravity, thereby eliminating the need for the use of chemicals. Our continued efforts to develop and implement such practices, have allowed us to build an excellent working relationship with the governmental officials without whose invaluable input and assistance, success would not be possible.</p>
