Let’s talk about North Antelope Rochelle Mine

The North Antelope Rochelle Complex is the most productive of the PRB mines. In 2018, the mine sold 98.4 million tons of coal. In 2017, it accounted for 13.1% of U.S. coal production. It began operations in 1983, and the series of Landsat images shows the progression of this mine since 1984 (North Antelope Rochelle Complex Mines | EROS, n.d.).
