Coal mine for sale. The reserve is comprised of an estimated 70 million tons of in ground semi-anthracite coal under just over 10,000 acres This is probably the largest known coal mine and it has never been mined. Because of semi-anthracite's high fixed carbon content, elsewhere it has found its greatest use for Pulverized Coal Injection (PCI) in which the coal is injected into a blast furnace to substitute for a portion of the significantly more expensive coke.
The expected average assay of the coal is as follows: 1) Ash: 6 to 9%; 2) Moisture: 60. With conventional preparation, this coal should be acceptable in the PCI market.
If, however, this coal is processed through a special proprietary refinery, the assay of the coal is projected to be as follows (with a strong tendency to be the better number in each case): 1) Ash: 2.2 to 7.6%; 2) Moisture: 1 to 3%; 3) Volatile Matter: 9 to 11%; 4) Sulfur: 0.6 to 0.8% 5) Heating Value: 12,500 to 13,500 BTU/lb; 6) Fixed Carbon 80 to 90%; 7) FSI: 9. So processed, this biorefined
coal is perfect for any of the uses of metallurgical coal. Price is negotiable
