Elk Valley Coal operates 6 Canadian coal mines. The Coal Mountain, Elkview, Fording River, Greenhills and Line Creek mines are located in southeastern British Columbia, and Cardinal River is located in west-central Alberta.

Going forward, Elk Valley Coal has an opportunity to realize substantial and sustainable synergies. One of the greatest benefits is the natural synergies that can be gained from the 5 mines located in southeastern British Columbia. The close proximity of the mines enhances Elk Valley Coal's ability to develop significant operating, capital, marketing and transportation synergies. Available synergies are expected to exceed $75 million per year.
