Two main Alaska coal regions, the Bering river field near Controller Bay and the Matanuska field north of Cook Inlet, hold extensive high grade coal including anthracite and semi bituminous varieties. Thirteen coal beds average six to eighty four feet thick across about 46 square miles underlain by rocks of Eocene age, with total potential coal bearing rocks around 900 square miles. Rail transport and port access are essential to develop these resources, which could fuel industry and possibly iron and steel production in the western seaboard.
