Production is rapidly approaching normal in the New River and Pocahontas smokeless coal regions as mines prepare to operate full time. Limited supply and higher prices push smokeless coal toward $3.00 as demand rises from smoke ordinances and expanding export and government markets.
The weekly US Geological Survey report shows 296 675 tons produced in Pocahontas during the week ended March 24 with steady decline in no market and a rise in car shortages. Coke production edged up to 8892 tons while losses total 100 531 tons across causes. Westward shipments via Russell Kentucky rail hub suggest rising lake trade activity.
