On October 30, 2014, Rhino Resource Partners LP (the "Partnership") issued a press release announcing third quarter 2014 financial and operating results, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, unless the Partnership specifically states in a future filing that the information is to be considered "filed" under the Exchange Act or incorporates it by reference into a filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
