Company operate high-quality, cost-competitive coal mines across the Central Appalachia (“CAPP”) coal basin.
Aracoma Complex
Seams with remaining reserve or resource potential include, in stratigraphically ascending order the: No. 2 Gas, Alma, Lower Cedar Grove, Upper Cedar Grove Chilton and Upper Chilton.
The generalized stratigraphic columnar section demonstrates the vertical relationship of the principal coal seams and rock formations on the Property.
The coal seams reach the highest structural elevations along the southeastern margin of the Property, generally dipping toward the northwest. The upper seams of interest are situated above drainage and are accessible via outcrop, the deeper No. 2 Gas seam is below drainage where slope and shaft access are required. The rock formations between the coal seams are characterized by large portions of sandstone with shale units interspersed throughout.
Kepler Complex
Seams mined or with remaining reserve or resource potential include, in stratigraphically ascending order the: Pocahontas 3, and 6 (in the Pocahontas Formation); and the Beckley and Sewell (in the New River Formation).
Mineralization
The generalized stratigraphic columnar section demonstrates the vertical relationship of the principal coal seams and rock formations on the Property.
Deposits
The coal produced at the Kepler complex is mainly a low-volatile, typically under 21 percent vo ........
