[Click image to enlarge]
Foresight Energy LP subsidiary Hillsboro Energy LLC is continuing its efforts to extinguish the March 2015 combustion event within the longwall district at Hillsboro’s Deer Run Mine, near Hillsboro, Illinois.
To date, their efforts have not been successful, and they are uncertain as to when and if production will resume at this operation. They continue to work closely with the Mine Safety and Health Administration and to explore alternatives for resolving this issue.
Additionally, Foresight will reduce the workforce associated with all of its operations by 100 miners, as a result of current market conditions and the current status of Hillsboro’s Deer Run Mine.
