Blaschak Anthracite Corp.
Blaschak is a miner, preparer and marketer of anthracite, a relatively rare form of coal that has high carbon content, low levels of impurities and a virtually smokeless burn, making it a valuable fuel for home heating and a variety of industrial applications. Blaschak is a market leader and one of the few fully integrated anthracite companies with a large reserve base, multiple mines, a preparation plant, a bagging plant, rail and truck loading facilities, and extensive marketing operations serving several end markets.
