The company’s coal preparation plant is located on the CSX rail line and 170 miles from the Port of Baltimore.
The plant produces an estimated capacity of 400 raw tons of coal an hour, and at full capacity the plant has the ability to produce up to 1.8 to 2 million clean tons of met coal annually.
Currently, the company has a coal inventory of approximately 100,000 raw tons stock from its operations that is being processed at the plant.
In addition to existing inventory, immediate plant feed will be provided from the company’s four producing surface mines as well as coal will be purchased from other local mining operations.
The plant surface mine is scheduled to commence production by July and the Hastings surface mine is scheduled to commence production by September with the underground mining to commence in July by the company’s major new underground mine, the Casselman mine.
Corsa president and CEO Don Charter said the company has taken another major step in its business plan to become a significant coal producer with the expansion of our resource base and with six surface mines and a major underground mine operating this year.
