About West Cumbria Mining
West Cumbria Mining Limited is a privately owned UK company developing Woodhouse Colliery in West Cumbria to produce high-quality metallurgical coal. The coal has ultra-low ash and very low phosphorus and is intended as a direct replacement for US steelmaking coals.
The coal is intended for steelmakers in the UK and Europe, delivered just-in-time by sea using vessels up to Cape size or by rail to UK steelmakers. The company plans a mining scheme with an electric mining fleet, renewable electricity, methane capture and carbon offsetting for residual emissions.
The company is registered in Sheffield and was founded in 2010. Final planning approval for the project was granted by the UK Government on 7 December 2022. The project reports proven resources of more than 216 million tonnes and expects 532 direct jobs and more than 1,500 indirect jobs in full production.
Product: Metallurgical (steelmaking) coal from Woodhouse Colliery, delivered to steel producers by sea or rail.
