Also, it is important to note that longtime Board member and past Chairman John Skidmore has resigned from the Board since he is no longer involved in any active mining or reclamation projects.  He assured us he will stay involved and be ready to assist in any way possible from his new home in Upshur County.  We thank John for his years of valuable service and guidance and wish he and Carol the absolute best.
