Warrior Met Coal, Inc16243 Highway 216 , Brookwood, Alabama, United States

Warrior is a U.S.-based, environmentally and socially minded supplier to the global steel industry. It is dedicated entirely to mining non-thermal metallurgical (met) coal used as a critical component of steel production by metal manufacturers in Europe, South America and Asia. Warrior is a large-scale, low-cost producer and exporter of premium met coal, also known as hard coking coal (HCC), operating highly efficient longwall operations in its underground mines based in Alabama. The HCC that Warrior produces from the Blue Creek, AL, coal seam contains very low sulfur and has strong coking properties and is of a similar quality to coal referred to as the premium HCC produced in Australia. The premium nature of Warrior’s HCC makes it ideally suited as a base feed coal for steel makers and results in price realizations near the Platts Index price.

Warrior Met Coal is a leading producer and exporter of metallurgical coal for the global steel industry from underground mines located in Brookwood, Alabama, southwest of Birmingham and near Tuscaloosa.  These underground coal mines are 1,400 to 2,100 feet underground, making them some of the deepest vertical shaft coal mines in North America.  Metallurgical coal mined from the Blue Creek coal seam contains very low sulfur and has strong coking properties, making it ideally suited for steel makers.  Warrior Met Coal’s cost-efficient operations serve markets in the United Train-load-of-coal-ForWebStates, Europe, Asia, and South America via convenient barge and rail access to the Port of Mobile. The company currently has the operational capacity to mine about eight million tons of coal per year from more than 300 million tons of recoverable reserves.  Our operations also extract methane gas from the Blue Creek coal seam.  Warrior Met Coal’s gas division represents one of the most extensive and comprehensive commercial programs for coal seam degasification in the country, producing approximately 28 million cubic feet of gas daily from 1748 gas wells.  Because it is a natural resources production company, Warrior Met Coal is aware of the impact its activities could potentially have on air, land, and water resources.  We are committed to protecting these environmental resources by controlling, preventing, or eliminating pollution from our operations while supporting sustainable economic development.  Operating safely is a high priority for Warrior Met Coal.  We are committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all employees and the continued enhancement of a safety culture ensuring that all employees return home safely to their families every day.
