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.

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 consists of four active underground mines (Powellton No. 1, Lower War Eagle, Eagle No. 1 and Muddy Bridge) and supporting infrastructure that produce High-Volatile Met coal using the room and pillar mining method and one active surface mine (Toney Fork) and supporting infrastructure that produce both Met and thermal coal using the contour and highwall mining methods. The Logan complex life plan includes 12 proposed mines, consisting of nine underground mines and three surface mines.

Logan produces primarily High-Vol Met coal (HVA HCC and HVB HCC), mined from various seams of the Kanawha Formation, most of which are situated below drainage; however, several Met coal seams are situated above drainage. Logan also produces thermal coal from upper portions of the Kanawha Formation.

Most of Logan’s Met coal production is attributable to its four active underground mines, Powellton No. 1, Lower War Eagle, Eagle No. 1 and Muddy Bridge, each of which uses the room and pillar mining method. The Powellton No. 1 mine utilizes one continuous miner super section to extract coal from the Upper Powellton seam, which is situated above or below drainage, depending on the relief of the property, and accessed by a shallow slope and crop. The Lower War Eagle mine utilizes two continuous miner super sections to extract coal from the Lower War Eagle seam, which is situated below drainage throughout the property and accessed by slope. The Eagle No. 1 mine utilizes three ........
