These results reflect more than a doubling of our revenues since the prior quarter to $56 million. Today, we have forward sales commitments for more than 1.7 million tons of our planned 2018 production. As we reported previously, 1.1 million tons of domestic sales were committed and priced last year. We have sold 249 thousand tons into export markets at fixed prices averaging $109 per ton (FOB mine) and have export commitments for an additional 400 thousand tons at index prices.
