The price of high-vol met coal has risen an average 2.00 dollars to 3.00/ton dollars in recent weeks to 89.00/ton dollars FOB mine. Lower quality high-vol can be found at a price in the 78.00 dollars to 79.00/ton dollars FOB mine range. Low-vol U.S. met coal is said to be in very tight supply with prices tipping over 95.00et dollars ton at the mine.
