New Elk Coal Mine scheduled to start mining.......
New Elk Coal Mine is scheduled to start mining on Monday May 5th. The mine will mine 1,000 tons with the current employees. The coal will be trucked to Jansen and from there it will be shipped via train to a location in colorado where the coal will go under a burn test. Lets cross our fingers and hope something great comes out of this.

Keep up the good work CIO and one day you'll be promoted to Chief Marshal of Intelligence Operations for the State of Colorado and don't let yourself be distracted by the Cassandras of this board. But wonder what happened to the original tests that were done when the mine opened back in 2011. Were those tests from different sections of the mine? The Blue mine and not the Allen or Apachi?

Steel prices have been steadily increasing for the last 9-12 months. Check out London Metals Exchange

Once again Coalmnr. Thanks for you info. Its a little unreal to think someone offered the old man $7.00 for a buyout and we now sit at less than a penny.
