Warrior Met Coal receives permits for Alabama mining projects

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has provided Warrior Met Coal official permits for expanding its Tuscaloosa, Ala.-based mining projects.

Back in October, Warrior paid $46.8 million for total federal land parcels equaling ~14,050 acres. The lands provide Warrior access to 53 million short tons (st) of metallurgical coal. Met coal is a critical component in blast-furnace steelmaking.
