Eagle Summit Resources (ESR) has acquired Reflectance Energy. The company’s Reflectance coal mining complex will now operate under its new ownership as Eagle Mountain Energy.

Reflectance has a portfolio of active metallurgical coal-producing mines in Wyoming County, West Virginia, consisting of the Coal Mountain complex and adjacent mining operations. The complex includes several highly productive mines with a coal preparation plant and rail loadout. These operations will produce more than two million tons annually of low-cost, high-vol A, high-vol B, and semi-soft products for both domestic and export customers.

“Today’s acquisition strategically positions our company to mine across the nation’s major coal basins to serve our valued domestic and international customers with a wide variety of the highest quality American metallurgical coal and low-cost, reliable energy,” said Eagle Summit Resources CEO Michael Day.

“Our expanding coal portfolio now has Powder River Basin, Illinois Basin, and Central Appalachian thermal as well as a range of metallurgical products available, allowing us to thrive during all market conditions,” added Day.

The Reflectance transaction adds to ESR’s portfolio, which includes the Eagle Butte and Belle Ayr coal mines in Gillette, Wyoming, that produce high-quality Powder River Basin coal for its numerous customers across the country, along with its Sundial and Eagle Horizon Mines in West Virginia.

In addition, ESR entered a new term loan credit facility with Valor Mining Credit Partners, managed by Breakwall Capital in partnership with Vitol, as the sole lender. ESR and Vitol have also agreed to enter into an exclusive marketing agreement for the company’s export volumes.

Eagle Summit Resources is a coal mining company operating primarily in Wyoming and West Virginia, known for its high-quality coal production from mines like Belle Ayr and Eagle Butte. The company focuses on both thermal and metallurgical coal, serving domestic and international markets, and has recently expanded its portfolio through acquisitions, including the Raven Crest Mining Complex and Reflectance Energy.
