    We Have Coal!

    July 10, 2017

    The coal industry has a long and storied history in the Greater Gallup area, dating back to the 1880’s. The great news for people who support the coal and energy industry is that the coal in this area is far from mined out. There is still plenty of opportunity, which you can read about here. By locating in Gallup, NM, you can work with, sell to, and support our consistent and growing energy sector.

    The coal in the area is around 4 ½ to 5 feet thick and is found in multiple areas. In addition, the coal that is found in this part of the world, the San Juan Basin, is considered by the experts to be a higher grade quality than other coal found in other places. When you combine the richness of the resources, with the support Gallup, NM offers, the energy industry here is set for explosive growth with the right partners.
