Paringa processing coal at new Kentucky mine

摘要

Coal producer Paringa Resources has started processing raw coal at its Poplar Grove mine in Kentucky, and expects to make its first commercial deliveries later this month. “The bottom area ground conditions look good with slightly less water and a more competent roof than was expected, although initial mining with the continuous miner has encountered an area of very hard rock, which will slow advancement marginally only in the very near term,” the company said yesterday.
