Westmoreland Coal Co. has agreed to purchase Chevron Mining’s Kemmerer mine in the Hams Fork Region of southwestern Wyoming for $179 million plus approximately $14 million in working capital. It is anticipated that the purchase price will be funded through a combination of cash consideration of approximately $74 million, plus the assumption of approximately $118 million in certain liabilities, including post-retirement medical, pension, black lung and asset retirement obligation liabilities. Over the last five years, Kemmerer has produced, on average, 4.7 million tons of high-quality subbituminous coal for sale to the adjacent Naughton power station, as well as various industrial customers located in the proximate geographic region.
