Gillette-based Cloud Peak Energy Inc. signed a deal to ship up to 16
million metric tons of coal a year through the Gateway Pacific Terminal
at Cherry Point in Bellingham, Wash., the two companies announced
Wednesday.
The coal will be exported to Asia, Colin Marshall, Cloud Peak Energy’s president and CEO, said in a prepared statement.
Coal
would come from the Spring Creek mine near Decker, Mont., the Youngs
Creek property acquired by Cloud Peak last year and land made available
through recently announced option and exploration agreements with the
Crow Tribe in Montana, the statement said.
