                         Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D

         This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment") is filed by the
Reporting Persons as an amendment to the initial statement on Schedule 13D (the
"Original Schedule 13D") as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
December 8, 2003. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have
the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D. The Original Schedule 13D
is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

ITEM 2.           IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

         Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to replace
Appendix A to the Original Schedule 13D with Appendix A to this Amendment.

         Appendix A to this Amendment includes, as of the date of this
Amendment, the name, state of incorporation, principal business, and principal
place of business of each general partner of PNRC. Appendix A also includes, as
of the date of this Amendment, the names, residence or business addresses,
citizenship and present principal occupations or employment of the executive
officers and directors of (1) Parent, (2) Gold Fields and (3) each other general
partner of PNRC.

ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:

(a) Based on the information reported by Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, there were 10,425,488 Common
Units outstanding as of November 1, 2003.

         As of December 15, 2003, PNRC owns 1,710,458 Common Units, representing
16.4% of the outstanding Common Units of Issuer, based on the number of Common
Units outstanding as of November 1, 2003.

         As of December 15, 2003, Gold Fields may be deemed to beneficially own,
by virtue of its ownership of PNRC, the same 1,710,458 Common Units,
representing 16.4% of the outstanding Common Units of Issuer, based on the
number of Common Units outstanding as of November 1, 2003.

         As of December 15, 2003, Parent may be deemed to beneficially own, by
virtue of its ownership of PNRC and Gold Fields, the same 1,710,458 Common
Units, representing 16.4% of the outstanding Common Units of Issuer, based on
the number of Common Units outstanding as of November 1, 2003.

         In connection with the foregoing acquisition of Common Units by PNRC,
Issuer placed 52,700 Common Units in escrow pending transfer to Issuer of
certain coal mineral estates in certain parcels and tracts of land. These Common
Units are registered in the name of U.S. Bank National Association, as escrow
agent. If the coal mineral estates are transferred to Issuer prior to the
deadline in the escrow agreement, these units will be released from escrow to
PNRC.

(b) PNRC has sole power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or to direct
the disposition of the Common Units beneficially owned by it. Gold Fields, by
virtue of its ownership of PNRC, may be deemed to have the power to vote or
direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of the Common Units
beneficially owned by PNRC. Parent, by virtue of its ownership of PNRC and Gold
Fields, may be deemed to have the power to vote or direct the vote and to
dispose or to direct the disposition of the Common Units beneficially owned by
PNRC.

(c) PNRC sold 1,000,000 Common Units on December 15, 2003 for proceeds to PNRC
of $32.11 per share in an underwritten transaction. That sale was made under an
underwriting agreement (a copy of which is filed with this Amendment as Exhibit
5 and is incorporated in this Amendment by reference). Except for that sale, no
transactions in Common Units were effected by the Reporting Persons, or to their
knowledge, any of the persons listed on Appendix A to this Amendment since the
filing of the Original Schedule 13D.

(d) No person is known by any Reporting Person to have the right to receive or
the power to direct the receipt




of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any Common Units owned by
any Reporting Person.

(e)      Not applicable.
