2guys--what aren't you getting? Is CEC paying your salary? companies mining met coal are folding and laying off workers. Met coal prices are falling and demand down, w/ no end in sight.

I'm sure this wouldn't be the first time the coal market has turned bearish. Coking coal is being phased out slowly but surely in all developing countries, but MET coal will continue to have a reasonably consistant fluctuation corresponding to supply and demand.

"THe hinton prject is purely thermal so the costs need to be lower to be economical, CEC is met so it can have a higher cost and still ave a better margin" *Barely* a better margin. Raven SSC met coal is only commanding a price 20-25% greater than run-of-the-mill thermal.
