BRISTOL, Va., July 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Three operating affiliates of Alpha Natural Resources Inc.

  • North Fork Coal Corporation's North Fork No.6 deep mine in Letcher County, Kentucky, and the Panther No.1, Stillhouse No.1 and North Fork No.7 deep mines, which are currently idled.  A total of 111 employees work at the No.6 mine or perform maintenance at the idled operations. 
  • Pigeon Creek Processing Corporation's Plant No.1 in Wise County, VA, which has 31 employees.
  • Maxxim Shared Services' support personnel for the mining operations, totaling approximately 16 employees.
