Limited geographic diversity; High cost position; and Operation in a highly capital intensive industry and coal basin. The rating on Richmond, Va.-based Massey Energy Co. reflects the company's limited geographic diversity, difficult mining conditions in Central Appalachia, high cost position, and somewhat aggressive financial policy. Still, the company is the largest producer of high-quality, low-sulfur coal in Central Appalachia. It has an extensive reserve base, and industry conditions are favorable. Massey, with more than 2.25 billion tons of coal reserves and about 40 million tons sold annually, is one of the largest coal producers in the U.S. and has more than 50 active mines.
