Photos of 47″ Wallin Seam – Bell County, KY
by Chris Headrick on

Part of our ongoing mine optimization plan, this seam is one of thirteen seams of coal on the Bell County property. We spent the last week meeting with a major High Wall Mining Company and hope to finalize terms of an agreement and begin to mine our 9+ miles of bench on this property. High Wall mining is an incredibly productive tool, on our project a single high wall mining machine should produce about 50,000 tons of clean coal per month, per 1,000 lineal foot of bench. Need more information? To view a video of a high wall miner in operation please visit Addcar Mining Systems.
