According to the company’s recent announcement, the equipment will be fully deployed and in production in early September 2026.

Jon Nix, Clinch CEO, comments:

“Following our first production sold from our high-quality Lanes Branch surface mine in Wyoming County, West Virginia, we continue to validate our operational strategy with a second equipment spread to support our year-end production targets. This follows the recently purchased Cat HW 300 Highwall Miner mobilised to Lanes Branch, which starts production this month.”
