Alpha Natural Resources Holdings, Inc. and ANR, Inc., announce the divestment of substantially all of their affiliated mining assets in Harlan County, Kentucky, to JRL Coal LLC of Marietta, Georgia.                 

The Coalgood assets include a permitted surface mine operation that has been idle since 2012 and nearly 12- million tons of high quality thermal coal reserves, and JRL has indicated its plan to operate the assets.

Alpha CEO David Stetson said, “The divestiture of the Coalgood mining complex represents our ongoing dedication to our strategic plan regarding idled assets, which has been to identify non-strategic properties for divestiture, thereby allowing Alpha to reduce its footprint. In this case, we will transfer six permits, reduce bonding by $6 million and also reduce our ARO in future years by a significant amount.”

Stetson adds that the divestiture of non-strategic properties will also allow Alpha to reduce the ongoing maintenance and holding costs associated with non-operating mining complexes. Coalgood was one of the few remaining Kentucky assets in the Alpha portfolio, all currently idled.
