A timeline for production was not made available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are delighted that our customer has selected Komatsu and Becker-Warkop for their next set of longwall PRS,” said Mark Brocklehurst, global product director – PRS Engineering at Komatsu.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

“Our Joy-engineered PRS solutions are designed to help our customers to mine efficiently and safely with the added flexibility of enabling access to lower cost manufacturing sources to reduce up-front investment and we are pleased that we can offer a solution which meets their needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $650-$700 million operation, one of the country\u2019s last remaining large-scale, untapped premium high-vol A met coal reserves, has a mine life that could exceed 50 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
