Blackhawk Mining, LLC (“Blackhawk”) is a privately-held mining company based out of Lexington, Kentucky.  Blackhawk’s primary focus is the mining, marketing, and sale of metallurgical coal—a globally scarce commodity and indispensable element in the production of steel. 
 
The company was founded in 2010 with the acquisition of a single mining complex in Floyd County, Kentucky. In its first full year of operation, Blackhawk produced just over a million tons of coal.  Since that time, and in spite of recent volatility in the coal industry, Blackhawk has surmounted significant structural and economic pressures to cement itself as an industry leader that is well-positioned to thrive in shifting market cycles. 
 
Blackhawk has become a premier supplier of high vol. metallurgical and CAPP thermal coals by consistently and continually expanding its reach through the strategic acquisition of premium assets from distressed sellers.  In 2017, Blackhawk is expected to be the largest metallurgical coal producer in the United States.  Presently, the company operates nine mining complexes throughout Kentucky and West Virginia that employ 2,600 people and service customers across four continents.
