Retained Met Coal Origination Coverage
Steelmakers and coke producers need reliable met coal supply beyond public markets. Traders need off-market leads qualified on quality, logistics, and counterparty risk. Investors and strategic buyers need early visibility into reserves, idle mines, and distressed situations before they are broadly marketed. CCR provides that coverage on a retained basis—without requiring clients to build a full Appalachian team.
Two Core Mandates
For clients sourcing PCI, HCC, or specialty met coal from Central and Northern Appalachia.
For clients evaluating reserves, idle operations, distressed assets, or transaction pathways.
Why Field Presence Matters
Coal opportunities in Appalachia cannot be evaluated from databases alone. Mine condition, workforce stability, coal quality variability, preparation plant performance, rail and barge logistics, permitting status, reserve access, and counterparty credibility all require technical judgment and local context. CCR is based in West Virginia and works from operating experience—not remote desk research.
Why CCR
Engagement Model
Most engagements begin with a 90-day retained coverage period—a practical way for a serious client to establish Appalachian market presence, test working fit, and receive actionable screening before committing to a longer arrangement. During that period, CCR typically delivers weekly opportunity memos, active target screening, coal quality review where relevant, asset monitoring, and a monthly strategy call. Transaction introductions and success-based compensation are addressed separately, only where appropriate, and subject to legal review.
Supporting capability
Internal data tooling that supports permit tracking, production history, and target monitoring within active mandates—not a standalone product offering.
CCR does not provide legal, securities, brokerage, or investment advice. Transaction-based compensation, mineral brokerage, securities matters, and buyer/seller representation require appropriate legal review.
