The Mettiki Complex comprises the Mountain View mine located in Tucker County and a preparation plant located near the city of Oakland in Garrett County.
The Mountain View mine produces low/medium-sulfur coal, which is transported by truck either to the Mettiki (MD) preparation plant for processing for shipment into the metallurgical coal market or otherwise, or directly to the coal blending facility at the Virginia Electric and Power Company Mt.Storm Power Station. Coal processed at the preparation plant can be trucked to the blending facility at Mt.Storm or shipped via the CSX railroad, which provides the opportunity to ship into the domestic and international thermal and metallurgical coal markets. |
