Rhoads II – Upper, Middle and Lower Kittanning Seams.
Based on information provided by Corsa, it has been estimated that approximately 70 percent of coal production from this property could potentially enter the metallurgical coal market, with the remainder going to the steam market. The Rhoads property is classified as an inactive surface mine property along with associated auger mining. Surface mining rights are reported as controlled on this property, the mineral is controlled through lease and the reserves are permitted. Surface mining ratios of approximately 11.2:1 are estimated within the reserve area. The Lower Freeport seam, previously addressed in the 2014 TR, has since been exhausted by auger mining.

Rhoades is a projected surface mine scheduled to be mined in 2022 to 2025. Expected production for the operations totals approximately 292,000 marketable tons. Rhoades auger operates in 2023 to 2025 and mines an additional 33,000 marketable tons.

Summary:

Materials Handling and Coal Preparation.
Raw coal produced from the mine is currently delivered by truck to the Cambria and Shade coal preparation facilities. In addition to the Cambria and Shade plants, Corsa has the Rockwood plant on care-and-maintenance status which can be reactivated in the future when production level exceeds the capacity at the Cambria and Shade plants.

Some raw coal produced from the mine is shipped directly to the customer on a raw basis or blended with processed or purchased coal, depending on coal quality and specific customer requirements. Corsa preparation facilities have raw coal handling systems consisting of a rotary breaker and screen used to remove large rock and size raw coal. Raw coal is then shipping on a raw basis or blended with washed coals from the preparation plant.


Raw coal to be processed is stockpiled, then loaded by a wheel-loader into a hopper for conveyor transport into the coal preparation plant.


Combined production numbers are reported under Northern Appalachia Operation
