Until its July 31, 2009 merger with Alpha Natural Resources (NYSE stock symbol ANR) to form the third largest American coal company, the company was publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol FCL. With corporate offices in Linthicum Heights, Maryland, the former Foundation Coal operates coal mines in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Wyoming, and was, prior to its merger with Alpha Natural Resources, the fourth-largest American coal producer by tonnage.[1] Foundation Coal, through subsidiaries, owns and operates several of the largest coal mines in the United States, including: Belle Ayr Mine, Wyoming: 26.6 million short tons produced in 2007; Eagle Butte Mine, Wyoming: 25.0 million short tons produced in 2007; Cumberland Mine, Pennsylvania: 7.3 million short tons produced in 2007; Emerald Mine No 1, Pennsylvania: 6.7 million short tons produced in 2007.” Cell: D11 Comment: Rick Heede: Coal production by coal mining companies and state-owned enterprises, including subsidiaries of oil and gas companies. Coal types produced are not ordinarily reported by coal operators (except for metallurgical coal). We distinguish, where possible and reasonably well known, between hard (bituminous and subbituminous) and soft (lignite or peat) coals, especially for the larger companies operating in regions such as Australia and India where soft coals are predominant. Soft coals have lower carbon content per tonne than do hard coals. Cell: D61 Comment: Rick Heede: “In July 2004, RAG Coal Holding Company became Foundation Coal Corp., formed by a private equity consortium consisting of First Reserve Corporation, The Blackstone Group, and American Metals & Coal International (AMCI). Foundation then began trading publicly in December 2004.” National Mining Association (2005) Coal Producer Survey 2004, page 3.

Cell: H70 Comment: Rick Heede: “Until the close of 2003 RAG Coal International was among the leading mining and trading companies on the international coal market with mines in the USA, Australia and Venezuela. As a result of the restructuring of RAG the company’s mining activities have been sold. Today, RAG Coal International is the umbrella for all national and international activities of RAG having to do with coal.” Source: www.rag-coalinter.de/index_e.shtml Cell: E75 Comment: Rick Heede: Alpha Natural Resources merged with Foundation Coal, July 2009.
