New Elk Coal UpdateHey everyone!!!! The mine did not get affected by the floods here in colorado and the mine still has 15-20 employees doing maintaince. I did get some information from a very reliable local source that the mine is either getting ready to be closed down for good or that it has been sold. There is also talk about Mr. Dave Stone coming back to the mine, and therefore many of us locals believe the mine has been sold. The Allen portal has a lot of damage and several cave ins, if production starts again it will only be at the Bates portal with two longwalls in place. I will keep this bb updated with any new info.
