Reserve Statement:

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions.  We use certain terms in this presentation, such as “unproved reserves and/or resources” that the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC.  We also caution you that the SEC views such “unproved reserves and/or resources” estimates as inherently unreliable and these estimates may be misleading to investors unless the investor is an expert in the gas industry. 

In this presentation, the term “unproved reserves and/or resources” refers to gas that CNX Gas believes is economically recoverable, as of available data on February 12, 2008, based on a $7.00 NYMEX gas price.

The unproved reserve data contained in this presentation is based on a summary review of the title to coalbed methane and other gas rights we hold, as well as a summary review of the title to the coal from which many of our rights derive.  As is customary in the gas industry, prior to the commencement of gas drilling operations on our properties, we conduct a thorough title examination and perform curative work with respect to significant defects.  We are typically responsible for curing any title defects at our expense. This curative work may include the acquisition of additional property rights in order to perfect our ownership for development and production of the gas estate.

This presentation contains statements, estimates and projections which are forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.  The forward-looking statements include estimates of unproved reserves, projections and estimates concerning the timing and rates of return of future projects, and our future production, revenues, income and capital spending.  The forward-looking statements in this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation; we disclaim any obligation to update these statements unless required by the securities laws, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly.

GENERAL WEBSITE DISCLAIMER:

The information provided on the website is as of the date indicated and was accurate to CNX's knowledge as of that date, and that CNX is not under any obligation to update that information, other than as required by law.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

Various statements in this release, including those that express a belief, expectation, or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks, contingencies and uncertainties relate to, among other matters, the following: our business strategy; our financial position; our cash flow and liquidity; declines in the prices we receive for our gas affecting our operating results and cash flow; uncertainties in estimating our gas reserves; replacing our gas reserves; uncertainties in exploring for and producing gas; our inability to obtain additional financing necessary in order to fund our operations, capital expenditures and to meet our other obligations; disruptions, capacity constraints in or other limitations on the pipeline systems which deliver our gas; competition in the gas industry; the availability of personnel and equipment; increased costs; the effects of government regulation and permitting and other legal requirements; legal uncertainties regarding the ownership of the coalbed methane estate; costs associated with perfecting title for gas rights in some of our properties; our need to use unproven technologies to extract coalbed methane in some properties; our relationships and arrangements with CONSOL Energy; and other factors discussed under "Risk Factors" in the 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. We are including this cautionary statement in this release to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf, of us.
