Mancal Coal Inc.

MCI

From interests in operating assets to a pipeline of exploration and development properties, MCI’s diversified coal resource base is well-positioned to serve a diverse range of markets, playing a key role in the energy, steel-making and industrial sectors.

With a coal mining history dating back to 1934, we have been extremely effective in building successful coal companies. At one time Canada’s largest coal producer, predecessor company, Manalta Coal Ltd., was eventually sold to a publicly traded income trust and MCI retained all non-producing assets.

Recent successes in MCI have led to successful mine development and value creation, providing the foundation to build on future opportunities.

Projects

Our assets are strategically located in established mining regions, with access to essential infrastructure to support future development. Our portfolio consists of bituminous metallurgical (steel-making) coal, bituminous thermal coal, subbituminous coal and lignite.

Reclamation

Mancal Coal and our predecessor companies, including Manalta Coal, have always felt a very strong responsibility to respect the environment and implement leading environmental practices.

Long before there were government environmental considerations, our companies were reclaiming and restoring the mining landscapes to a condition equal to or better than its original condition.
