We not only believe in the future of coal, we’re building it.

Foresight Energy is a leading producer of thermal coal with reserves in the Illinois Basin. With nearly 2 billion tons of coal reserves, we believe we are among the largest holders of coal reserves in the United States. Our reserves are sufficient to support over 75 years of production at our current production level.

We operate our three active mining complexes with longwall mining systems. This highly productive mining method coupled with the favorable geology of our coal has resulted in our mines being among the safest, most productive and lowest cost underground coal mines in the United States.

Our mining complexes (Williamson, Sugar Camp, and Hillsboro) are designed to support up to 7 longwall mining systems, with a combined productive capacity of up to 50 million tons of high Btu coal per year.

Our reserves and mines are strategically located near multiple rail and river transportation access points giving us multiple transportation options. Our access to competing rail carriers as well as access to truck and barge transport provides us with cost-competitive flexibility. We own a 25 million ton per year barge-loading river terminal on the Ohio River and have access to export terminal facilities in the Gulf of Mexico.

Our low operating costs, competitive transportation rates and high heat content of our coal enable us to be cost competitive on a delivered cost per Btu to a wide variety of domestic and international markets. We have been exporting coal through ports near New Orleans, Louisiana and Mobile, Alabama since 2008 to Europe, South America, India, China, Africa, and the Middle East.
