The Sufco mine has longwall and continuous miner reserves in the Upper Hiawatha and Lower Hiawatha seams, which have an average seam thickness of 10 feet.

It is located in the Blackhawk Formation in the Wasatch Plateau coalfield in which eight coal beds have been identified that contain coal seams more than seven feet thick.

The Sufco mining complex is located in Sevier County, UT approximately 30 miles north east of Salina, UT and 125 miles south of Salt Lake City, UT.

The Sufco mine consists of a longwall, three continuous miner sections and a loadout facility located in Levan, Utah approximately 82 miles from the mine. The longwall panels are typically 1,100 feet wide and vary in length from 2,400 to 12,000 feet. The Sufco mine is producing coal with one longwall system and three continuous miner units, with a productive capacity of approximately 7.0 million tons per year.

Sufco has longwall and continuous miner reserves where it produces high-BTU, low-sulfur, compliance thermal coal.

Raw coal is hauled from the mine by truck either directly to customers or to the Levan rail loadout where it is transloaded and shipped by the Union Pacific railroad.

As necessary to meet customer requirements, the company selectively wash a portion of the coal produced from the Sufco mine at 400 ton-per-hour Castle Valley preparation plant (‘Castle Valley Prep Plant’), which is located at the Savage Energy Terminal.

The Levan rail loadout, which is located 82 miles from the Sufco mine, maintains 1.2 million tons of stockpile capacity in three separate stockpiles with blending capabilities to meet customer specifications. The Levan rail loadout is capable of railcar loading at 4,000 tons per hour and has sufficient rail loop siding capacity to accommodate unit trains of 104 railcars.
