As the nation's second-largest coal producer, Cyprus Amax Coal Company operates mines in the West, the Midwest, and the Eastern regions of the United States.

In the mid-1990s production reached more than 85 million tons a year--well on the way toward an annual goal of 100 million tons.

More than 45 percent of coal production comes from Belle Ayr and Eagle Butte, two giant surface mines in Wyoming's Powder River Basin. Just over 25 percent comes from Central and North Appalachia, about 15 percent from Colorado and southern Wyoming, and six percent from Australia. The remainder comes from the Midwestern United States.

Developed reserves total approximately two billion tons with about 85 percent in the United States that satisfy the emission limits of Phase I of the U.S. Clean Air Act. Almost 75 percent of these coal reserves are compliance quality--meeting Phase II Clean Air Act standards of less than 1.2 pounds of sulfur dioxide per million Btus.
