Mines metallurgical (coking) coal in Alabama, primarily for export to global steelmakers.
Mines metallurgical (coking) coal in Alabama, primarily for export to global steelmakers.
Sells high-grade coking coal, used to make steel, priced off published benchmark indices, so earnings follow global steel demand rather than a fixed price. Most is shipped through the Port of Mobile to buyers overseas. The big change is Blue Creek, a new mine in Alabama to add capacity.
Moat: narrow (scale, installed base). Low-cost, high-quality Alabama coking coal reserves with established export logistics, but a commodity subject to global steel demand.
