SnapshotIn August 2023, Alpha Metallurgical Resources completed their transition to a pure-play metallurgical producer with the closure of Slabcamp, their last remaining thermal mine.

Initially planned to idle in 2022, the changing economics in the thermal market extended the reserve life of the Slabcamp mine, leading to the identification of more resource tons and the development of new mine plans.
