Scotia Howard Weil 2016 Energy Conference March 21-23, 2016

Cautionary Language This presentation contains statements, estimates and projections which are forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Statements that are not historical, are forward-looking, and include our operational and strategic plans; estimates of coal and gas reserves and resources; the projected timing and rates of return of future investments; and projections and estimates of future production, revenues, income and capital spending. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those statements, plans, estimates and projections. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of future actual results. Factors that could cause future actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include risks, contingencies and uncertainties that relate to, among other matters, the following: we may not receive the prices we expect to receive for our natural gas and coal; we may not obtain on a timely basis the permits required for drilling and mining; we may not accurately estimate our economically recoverable gas, oil and condensate; we may encounter unexpected operational issues when we drill and mine, including equipment failures, geological conditions and higher than expected costs for equipment, supplies, services and labor; we may not achieve the efficiencies we expect to realize in our drilling and completion operations, and as a result, our projected cost savings may not be fully realized; our joint venture partners, who operate assets in which we have a significant interest, may not perform as we expect; we may not be able to sell non-core assets on acceptable terms; we may be unable to incur indebtedness on reasonable terms; and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Additional factors are described in detail under the captions "Forward Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in CONSOL Energy Inc. ’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as updated by any subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Qs. The forward-looking statements in this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation; we disclaim any obligation to update the statements, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly. The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible oil and gas reserves that a company anticipates as of a given date to be economically and legally producible and deliverable by application of development projects to known accumulations. We may use certain terms in this presentation, such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery), unproved reserves and total resource potential, that the SEC's rules strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. We caution you that the SEC views such estimates as inherently unreliable and these estimates may be misleading to investors unless the investor is an expert in the natural gas industry. These measures are by their nature more speculative than estimates of reserves prepared in accordance with SEC definitions and guidelines and accordingly are less certain. We also note that the SEC strictly prohibits us from aggregating proved, probable and possible reserves in filings with the SEC due to the different levels of certainty associated with each reserve category. Except for proved reserve data, the information included in this presentation is based on a summary review of the title to the gas rights we hold. As is customary in the gas industry, prior to the commencement of gas drilling operations on our properties, we conduct a thorough title examination and perform curative work with respect to significant defects. We are typically responsible for curing any title defects at our expense. As a result of our title review or otherwise, we may be required to acquire property rights from third parties at our expense in order to effectively drill and produce the oil and gas rights we control and third parties may participate in the wells we drill, thereby reducing our working interest in those wells. This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of offers to buy securities of CONSOL Energy Inc. or CNX Coal Resources LP. 2

Company Overview Transformative Journey Twelve years ago – traditional coal producer, the largest  underground producer in the world Ten years ago – created CNX Gas  Six years ago – acquired Dominion Resources’ Appalachian  E&P business and became a coal company with a growing natural gas business Late 2013 – transaction with Murray Energy Corp. that  transitioned half of coal assets and related assets April 19, 2014 – CONSOL Energy 150th Anniversary  June 12, 2014 – Analyst Day to roll out growing Appalachian  E&P Division with best in class coal assets September 25, 2014 – IPO of CONE Midstream Partners LP  (NYSE: CNNX) July 1, 2015 – IPO of CNX Coal Resources (NYSE: CNXC)  July 28, 2015 – Announced first PA Dry Utica well (Gaut 4I)  result in Westmoreland County February 29, 2016 – Announced agreement to sell Buchanan  Mine and associated met reserves We are a growing E&P company focused on developing the Appalachian shale with the benefit of fully capitalized, premier coal assets to help fund E&P growth 3

Key Takeaways  CONSOL Energy’s E&P Division has demonstrated that it can stand on its own as a premier Appalachian Basin producer:  Gas production has grown significantly  Capital intensity and costs are down dramatically  Dry Utica has opened up a new opportunity set  Our base plan is achievable and will help us to more easily reach our free cash flow targets due to conservative plan assumptions:  NYMEX strip gas pricing with conservative basis differentials  Conservative thermal and met pricing  CONSOL Energy’s gas hedges and coal contract position significantly de -risk the business and support the company’s organic FCF plan in 2016 CONSOL Energy’s base plan, coupled with additional asset sales, will result in significant flexibility, including the ability, if appropriate, to separate its Coal and E&P divisions 4
