KNIGHT HAWK COAL

The mid-1990s found the once-thriving Illinois coal industry reduced to a shadow of itself. The large coal companies had all but pulled up stakes and the demand for coal was in decline. Four partners - Steve Carter, F.D. Robertson, James Bunn and James Bunn, Jr., however, understood there were still pockets of need for southern Illinois' high-quality, low chlorine coal. In 1998, Knight Hawk Coal, LLC, a family-owned coal mining company, was created to meet those needs... Knight Hawk Coal, LLC, a coal mining company, has been at the forefront of the Illinois Coal Basin's recovery since the mid-1990s, and has access to ship high-quality, low-chlorine coal to markets throughout the United States and for global export.
