Supporting America’s Infrastructure

From foundations to roofs, power plants to wind farms, roads to bridges—America’s infrastructure projects begin with mining.

From foundations to roofs, power plants to wind farms, roads and bridges to communications grids and data storage centers—America’s infrastructure projects begin with mining. Consider that nearly every industry including energy, construction, transportation, and equipment manufacturing requires steel—a material dependent on both metallurgical coal and iron ore for its production. And copper’s flexibility, conformity, thermal and electric conductivity, and resistance to corrosion make it an ideal industrial metal. These are just a few of the ways that mining is contributing to America’s infrastructure.

Met Coal Supports Infrastructure

Steel is key to any infrastructure project, included in everything from railway tracks and buildings to bridges and electric vehicle charging stations. In order to create steel, though, one needs base resources. Metallurgical or met coal is used in the production of 70 percent of the world’s steel. Warrior... Read More
