A maker of premium hard coking coal for the global steel industry, Warrior Met Coal runs three underground longwall mines in Alabama — Mine No. 4, Mine No. 7, and the newly operational Blue Creek — and ships to steelmakers in Asia, Europe, and South America through the port of Mobile. It was formed in 2015 after the bankruptcy of Walter Energy, when a group of creditors took over the Alabama mining assets, and its name blends "Warrior" (the Warrior Coal Basin it digs in) with "Met," short for metallurgical. A fun detail: Blue Creek's longwall operations started eight months ahead of schedule in 2025.
