Alpha Natural Resources

Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries are a leading Central Appalachian coal producer with significant operations in Northern Appalachia. Our reserves primarily consist of high Btu, low sulfur steam coal that is currently in high demand in U.S. coal markets and metallurgical coal that is currently in high demand in both U.S. and international coal markets.

We produce, process and sell steam and metallurgical coal from eight regional business units supported by 33 active underground mines, 27 active surface mines and 10 coal preparation plants located throughout Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and Pennsylvania.

One of our core values is protecting the health and welfare of our employees by designing and implementing high safety standards in the workplace. We also aim to preserve the positive relationship we have developed with our employees. Similarly, we aim to adhere to high standards in protecting and preserving the environment in which we operate.

Approximately 89% of our total proven and probable reserves have a high Btu content (above 12,500 Btu content per pound). We believe that our total proven and probable reserves will support current production levels for more than 20 years.

Of our total proven and probable reserves, approximately 82% are low sulfur reserves (sulfur content of 1.5% or less), with approximately 56% having sulfur content below 1.0%.
