Well that would suck to have the mine shut down but this new mine (2012 article) probably won't be affected since it's metallurgical coal that is used to make steel.

The mine will produce 3 million to 4 million tons of metallurgical coal yearly when put into production and will be in production for 40 years. Metallurgical coal is a highly valued, low-sulfur coal that is used to make steel.
