Andalex
Resources - Aberdeen and Pinnacle Mines
The Andalex mines are located in the Coal Creek area about seven miles
north of Price. The first mines were developed in the early 1900s, but
most of the mining occurred between 1940 and 1965. Andalex Resources acquired
the property in the mid-1970s and the first mine was developed in 1979.
From then to now, the mines have produced coal from the Flat Canyon,
Centennial, Apex, Aberdeen and Gilson seams. The Aberdeen mine is one
of the deepest mines in the United States with plans to go to a cover
depth of about 3,150 feet. Andalex is currently pulling out of the Pinnacle
mine, which will close in the next two or three years.
