Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc.
Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc. on Tennesseessä toimiva hiilikaivosyhtiö, jonka pääpaino on teräksen valmistuksessa käytettävässä metallurgisessa hiilessä. Sen toiminta keskittyy Virginiaan ja West Virginiaan Central Appalachian -hiilialueella, missä se operoi maanalaisia ja avolouhoksia, pesuloita sekä niihin liittyviä logistiikkaomaisuuksia. Yhtiöllä on myös enemmistöosuus Dominion Terminal Associatesissa Newport Newsissa, Virginiassa, mikä tarjoaa vientiterminaalikapasiteettia ja sekoitusjoustavuutta kansainvälisille asiakkaille. Vaikka yhtiö myy edelleen jonkin verran lämpöhiiltä ja siihen liittyviä palveluja, liiketoiminta keskittyy korkealaatuisen met-hiilen toimittamiseen teräs- ja koksiteollisuudelle maailmanlaajuisesti.
