Famous Reading Anthracite




The New St. Nicholas Anthracite Preparation Plant

In January 2008, Reading Anthracite Company began construction of a new anthracite fine coal plant to augment the production of metallurgical coal. This project was the result of the increasing demand by our customers in both the domestic and international metallurgical coal markets.

The plant is located at the former New St. Nicholas breaker area outside of Minersville, Pennsylvania and is centrally located near Reading Anthracite's mining operations.

The plant design and construction oversight is being performed by Reading Anthracite Company.

The production process will be automated to assure the quality of the finished product. All streams of production will have samples collected throughout the operating shift to be analyzed for additional quality control.

The plant is expected to startup early in 2009.
