The
McCoy Elkhorn complex is located in Pike and
Floyd counties in eastern Kentucky, and consists of
five Company-operated mines and two mines typically
mined by independent contract mining companies. All
of the mines at this complex are underground mines.
We use room and pillar mining to mine the Williamson,
Elkhorn #2 and Elkhorn #3 seams of coal, and our contract
mine operators use the same method to mine the Fireclay
and Pond Creek seams. Coal is processed at one of two
preparation plants and loaded into railcars via integrated
four-hour unit train loadouts on the CSX railroad.
