Colowyo Mine

Owner: Western Fuels Association

The Colowyo Mine is the newest addition to the Western Fuels family. In September of 2011 Western Fuels-Colorado, LLC entered into an agreement with Rio Tinto Energy America to purchase the Colowyo Mine. The sale was finalized on December 1st, 2011. Colowyo currently produces approximately 2.2 million tons of coal annually. All production is currently used to fill existing contracts with WFA Member Tri-State Generation and Transmission’s Craig Station in Craig, CO. With vast reserves available at Colowyo Western Fuels looks forward to maximizing Colowyo’s potential for the benefit of Tri-State and the exceptional employees at the mine.
