Quest Adds Larger Shuttle Car to the Mix
Tuesday, August 12th 2008
Quest Minerals & Mining Corp., a Kentucky based operator of energy and mineral related properties, announced today that it has added a JOY (64” Bed) 21SC shuttle car to its underground operations.
Everett Hampton, President of Whitestar Mining, LLC., commented, “This second shuttle car will help increase our production immensely, as it cuts down the time needed to move coal from the mine face to the belt feeder. Before, we had to periodically pause operations to wait for coal to be cleared away from the miner. Since this shuttle car holds up to five (5) tons working alongside our first shuttle car, holding up to four (4) tons, we can now maintain our production efforts with much less down time.”
Eugene Chiaramonte, Jr., President of Quest, stated, “Our main goal is to mine coal. We will continue to make the necessary adjustments until the volume levels exceed our expectations.”
Quest Minerals & Mining Corp., or Quest, acquires and operates energy and mineral related properties in the southeastern part of the United States. Quest focuses its efforts on properties that produce quality compliance blend coal.
