Allegiance Coal, the new owner of the New Elk coal operation in southeastern Colorado, said the first cargo ship of steel coal from the mine left the mainland en route to its Chinese customer in late November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the operator did not identify the specific customer in China, is did say the order left the Port of Guaymus in northern Mexico. Other partners working to the milestone, Allegiance officials said, included Union Pacific and its sales agent M Resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
