Coal miner Alpha emerges from bankruptcy amid doubts on outlook

Coal producer Alpha Natural Resources emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Tuesday with doubts about its long-term prospects and ability to carry out a recent environmental clean-up deal with regulators. Alpha said in a statement it emerged from bankruptcy as a slimmed down, privately held company with operations in West Virginia and Kentucky. The company filed for bankruptcy about a year ago as the fourth-largest US coal producer.
