Armstrong Coal was formed in 2006 to acquire and develop coal reserves in Western Kentucky. Having acquired over 39,000 acres and 450 million tons of coal, Armstrong’s mission is to supply custom blend coals to a variety of electricity-generating utility companies.

With seven existing and two proposed electricity-generating power plants being located within a 50 mile radius of Armstrong's coal reserves, and with direct access to low cost river and rail transportation options, Armstrong has the capability to provide low cost custom blend coal to fuel virtually any electric power plant in the Midwest and Southeast Regions of the nation. Due to a Utilities Industry commitment to install additional coal fired electric generation plant emission scrubbers to comply with future environmental emission standards; Armstrong is well positioned in the marketplace to benefit from a strong future demand for low cost utility coal.

Utilizing current technology and an experienced management staff, Armstrong produces clean coal from surface and underground mining operations. Armstrong not only has a goal to be one of the most reliable coal producers in the region, it strives to be fully committed to the health and safety of its workforce and to become an industry leader in achieving award winning compliance with reclamation and environmental standards.
