ITEM 7.01           Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 1, 2014, Rhino Resource Partners LP (the “Partnership”) announced via press release its earnings and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.  Subsequent to the issuance of this press release, the Partnership discovered an error in the amount of gain recognized on the sale of the Partnership’s Utica Shale oil and gas assets to Gulfport Energy during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.  The total proceeds related to the Utica Shale transaction have not changed.  Approximately $6.4 million of property, plant and equipment was erroneously excluded from the Utica Shale gain calculation.  Thus, the initially reported gain of approximately $128.1 million on the Utica Shale transaction for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 is reduced by $6.4 million to a gain of approximately $121.7 million.  Income from discontinued operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was initially reported as $136.9 million and is now reduced to $130.5 million.  The Partnership’s total net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was initially reported as $131.9 million and is now reduced to $125.5 million.  Diluted net income per common unit from discontinued operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was initially reported as $4.62 and is now reduced to $4.40.  Total diluted net income per common unit for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was initially reported as $4.45 and is now reduced to $4.23.
