June 22, 2020 - Westmoreland Mining Holdings LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary Prairie Mines & Royalty ULC, today announced that it will be suspending operations at its Coal Valley Mine due to the significant constraints and challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the latest assessment of the continuing and ongoing impacts of this situation, the management team ultimately concluded that there was no other option than to place the Mine into a state of care and maintenance.

Westmoreland Coal Company became a privately held company on March 15, 2019. The company has not publicly reported 2018-2019 Coal Valley Mine production data.[03/15/2019, PR, p. 1]
