Coal Mine For Sale in United States

This listing presents a significant opportunity to acquire a substantial coal reserve located in Arkansas, United States. The property encompasses over 10,000 acres and holds an estimated 70 million tons of in-ground semi-anthracite coal. This unmined resource is bordered by the Arkansas River and is potentially the largest known coal mine in the U.S. The semi-anthracite coal possesses a high fixed carbon content, making it suitable for Pulverized Coal Injection (PCI) in blast furnaces, offering a substitute for more expensive coke. With conventional preparation, the coal is expected to have an assay with 6-9% ash and 60% moisture (note: 60% moisture seems unusually high and may be a data entry error or incomplete). If processed through a proprietary refinery, the coal's assay is projected to improve significantly, with ash between 2.2-7.6%, moisture 1-3%, volatile matter 9-11%, sulfur 0.6-0.8%, heating value of 12,500-13,500 BTU/lb, fixed carbon of 80-90%, and an FSI of 9. In this processed state, the coal is ideal for metallurgical applications. The asking price is negotiable. This listing is for the mineral rights and land associated with the coal reserve.
