Report summary
Eagle Specialty Materials (ESM) operates two truck and shovel surface mines in the Powder River Basin - Belle Ayr and Eagle Butte. The thermal coal mines in Wyoming sell primarily to utilities in the domestic market. Blackjewel, which had acquired the mines in 2017, sold the assets to ESM in 2019 shortly after filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. ESM received the leases from Blackjewel after prolonged negotiations with the Department of the Interior over unpaid royalties.
