Peabody strikes deal in support of coal mine restoration

US metallurgical and thermal coal producer Peabody Energy has reached an agreement with three US states, namely Wyoming, New Mexico and Indiana, stipulating that Peabody would pay for coal-mine clean up liabilities, where the Missouri-based company has self-bonding obligations. These agreements will enable the relevant state authorities to receive cash first up to the full amount of the company’s $200-million bonding accommodation facility.
