Summary:
The Logan Mine Complex is located in the Central Appalachian Basin in the southern West Virginia counties of Logan, Boone and Wyoming. The Logan mining complex has a large reserve of premium quality High-Vol met coal, complemented by a long history of high quality production.
Logan’s reserves are one of the largest contiguous blocks of premium, high quality, low-cost High-Vol coal in North America.
Mining Methods
- Contour Strip
- Highwall
- Continuous
- Room-and-pillar
Summary:
Four underground mines (Lower War Eagle, Powellton, Elklick Chilton, Eagle 1) produce high- volatile metallurgical coal using room and pillar retreat mining methods using continuous miner equipment. Two surface mines (Toney Fork, Elklick Surface) produces thermal coal with a combination of contour strip area mining and point removal methods.
Processing Technologies
- Wash plant
- Dense media separation

Summary:
The thermoplastic (fluidity) properties of the coal produced at Logan make it well suited for coke making and its coal has a well established reputation for quality in both the domestic and export marketplaces.
Logan Coal currently produces metallurgical, PCI and thermal coal from surface and underground mines that are served by a preparation plant and unit-train load out facility on the CSX Transportation.
