The Coal Basin operation of Mid-Continent
Resources mines two coal seams which occur within the Mesa-

facilities are located in the basin, and the mine entries

the Coal Basin . Underground workings , during both the term
of the permit and life of the mine, will extend beneath the
west and south slopes of Huntsman Ridge .
