The company is conducting a thorough assessment and initial indications are that production from both the Bailey and Enlow Fork mines could be impacted for another week or so. If, at that time, one of the two collapsed belts is returned to service, the mines could operate at an estimated 60% of capacity. CONSOL does not currently expect to curtail any domestic sales because all of the company’s other Northern Appalachian mines are operating normally. Overseas shipments in the spot market, though, could be affected.
