Rosebud Mining Co plans to begin metallurgical coal extraction at the Cresson Mine in Cambria County, with an initial crew of one and potential growth to 150 by spring. The project, stalled since 2015, reflects shifting global demand for high quality coal and local hopes for job revival in the town of about 1,700.

Experts cite thin coal seams and silica dust, note undercounting, and warn cases span miners in their 30s and 40s.
