[1] For a definition of coal producing regions, see the Glossary. [2] Mines that produce greater than 50 percent of their coal by continuous mining methods. [3] Mines that produce greater than 50 percent of their coal by conventional mining methods or mines that produce coal using shortwall, scoop loading, hand loading, or other methods or a 50/50 percent continuous conventional split in mining methods, or mines that produce less than 10,000 short tons, which are not required to provide data. [4] Mines that have any production from the longwall mining method. A typical longwall mining operation uses 80 percent longwall mining and 20 percent continuous mining. - = No data are reported.
