Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 16, 2014, Oxford Mining Company, LLC (“Oxford Mining”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Oxford Resource Partners, LP (the “Registrant”), and AEP Generation Resources Inc. (successor in interest to Ohio Power Company (formerly known as Columbus Southern Power Company)) (“AEP”), completed the execution and delivery of an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Coal Purchase and Sale Agreement between them dated as of May 21, 2004, as amended (such Coal Purchase and Sale Agreement as amended prior to the Amendment, the “AEP-Oxford Agreement”).

The Amendment modified the AEP-Oxford Agreement, effective January 1, 2014, by reducing the annual contract quantity of coal for 2014 to be supplied thereunder by Oxford to the Conesville plant of AEP’s affiliate by 50,000 tons from 1,700,000 tons to 1,650,000 tons. Oxford Mining was able to fully replace that tonnage under a separate contract with AEP to supply and deliver 50,000 tons of washed coal during January 2014 to the Conesville plant. As a result of the Amendment and the contract for the replacement tonnage, the total amount of coal to be supplied by Oxford Mining to the Conesville plant in 2014 remains unchanged at 1,700,000 tons.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
