PATERSON, N.J., Aug 14, 2008 (PrimeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Quest Minerals & Mining Corp. (QMNM) (Frankfurt:QMNB), a Kentucky-based operator of energy and mineral related properties, announced today that it has begun to transport certain equipment needed to commence future operations on its Lower Cedar Grove seam.
Everett Hampton, President of Whitestar Mining, LLC, commented, "We plan to excavate the site location so that the property is graded properly for our mining crew to set up operations. Prior operations at this mine have established production levels of 2,000 to 2,500 raw tons per day. So we are eager to reach these target goals as well."
Eugene Chiaramonte, Jr., President of Quest, stated, "We are very excited about reopening this mine because the coal seam here is approximately 50 inches in height and contains metallurgical qualities. With today's metallurgical prices rising in excess of $180 a ton, this makes for an attractive blending option within the marketplace. In addition, having Massey Energy (MEE) adjacent to our properties just adds credibility to the coal in this area."
