Background
El Segundo mine is a surface coal mine, owned and operated by Peabody Energy, producing 5.5 million short tons per annum, near Grants, New Mexico, United States. The mine is adjacent to the Lee Ranch mine in northwest New Mexico. It produces about 6 million tons of coal annually and serves a 19-year, 65 million ton supply agreement with Arizona Public Service Company’s Cholla Power Plant near Joseph City, Arizona.[9]
In November 2015 Bowie Resources agreed to pay US$358 million to Peabody Energy for the Twentymile Mine outside Steamboat Springs and the El Segundo mine and Lee Ranch mine in New Mexico. Bowie also will assume about $105 million in related liabilities under the sale.[10]Sale of the mine to Bowie Resources was canceled in 2016[11]
