The second equipment spread will support the company's year-end production targets.

“Following our first production sold from our high-quality Lanes Branch surface mine in Wyoming County, West Virginia, we continue to validate our operational strategy with a second equipment spread to support our year-end production targets. This follows the recently purchased Cat HW 300 Highwall Miner mobilized to Lanes Branch, which starts production this month”
