SnapshotThe Golden Eagle Coal Mine produces bituminous coal and processes it at the Prairie Eagle Mine preparation plant.

MSHA lists Golden Eagle as "NonProdActive" effective 06/03/2025; production was reported early in 2025, then declined sharply, with no production reported in Q2-Q4.

Public sources suggest the mine’s limited tract/staging arrangement could indicate a planned wind-down, but no direct statement links the 2025 suspension to a specific cause.
