Summary:
The Pennsylvania mining complex, which includes the Bailey Mine, the Enlow Fork Mine and the Harvey Mine, has extensive high-quality coal reserves. The Pittsburgh No. 8 Coal Seam is a large contiguous formation of uniform, high-Btu thermal coal.
Summary:
The design of the Pennsylvania mining complex is optimized to produce large quantities of coal on a cost-efficient basis. All of mines utilize longwall mining, which is a highly automated underground mining technique that produces large volumes of coal at lower costs compared to other underground mining methods. Generally the company operate five longwalls and 15-17 continuous mining sections at the Pennsylvania mining complex.
The Bailey mine uses approximately six continuous mining units to develop the mains and gate roads for its longwall panels. On average, the longwalls have a panel width (or face length) of approximately 1,500 feet, a panel length of approximately 12,000 feet and a seam height of approximately 7.5 feet.
