About Us |
Armstrong Coal was formed in 2006 to acquire and develop
coal reserves in Western Kentucky. Having acquired in excess
of 39,000 acres and 450 million tons of coal, including
seven coal seams, Armstrong’s mission is to become a
reliable and low cost supplier of custom blend coals
(A-Coal) to electricity generating utility companies. With
seven existing and two proposed electrical generation power
plants being located within a 50 mile radius of the
Armstrong 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 generation plant located in the
Midwest and Southeast Region of the nation. Due to the
utility industries 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, combined with an experienced management staff,
Armstrong is developing plans to begin coal production from
both surface and underground mining operations in 2008.
Armstrong not only has a goal of being one of the lowest
cost and reliable coal producers in the region, but also a
goal of being 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.
