They would have to pay me more to breath that in. Do you do surface mining and deep underground mining?

I think royalties are payments to the coal owner when mining occurs.

The collection of mining royalties is based on 'self assessment'. It is the responsibility of the mining leaseholder to calculate and promptly lodge the royalty return.

Three separate types of royalty exist:

* Quantum Royalty
* Ad valorem Royalty
* Profit-based Royalty

no im sorry i should of been more clear... we get a royalty bonus also knows as a production bonus, its based on the amount of tonage we send out of the mine every week, it ranges usually from 3.50 to 4.00 extra on the hour for every hour we work during the week

i do not own any coal rights or land where the mining is taking place
