Summary:
The Skyline mine lies at a high elevation in the northern end of the Wasatch Plateau coalfield.
Summary:
Skyline has longwall and continuous miner reserves where it produces high-BTU, low-sulfur, compliance thermal coal.
The Skyline Mine, located in Eccles Canyon, Utah, at an elevation of 8,600 feet, since 1993 has used a "pipe conveyor" to move its coal from its portal to its railway loadout, 2.1 miles and 600 feet below. Prior to 1993, the mine trucked the coal from mine to loadout. Skyline's pipe conveyor is the highest capacity in the world, capable of moving 5 million tons annually, and the second longest in the world.
