About
Appalachian met coal coverage from operating experience
Clear Creek Resources provides retained supply intelligence and asset origination across Central and Northern Appalachia for steelmakers, coke producers, commodity traders, and investors.
Company
What we do
Clear Creek Resources helps institutional clients establish Appalachian market presence for metallurgical coal—whether the need is off-market supply, reserve and asset screening, or distressed situation monitoring.
The team draws on underground and surface operations experience, preparation plant and coal quality background, regulatory familiarity, and commodity market knowledge. CCR is a distinct entity from Clear Creek Advisory.
Why Field Presence Matters
Coal opportunities in Appalachia cannot be evaluated from databases alone. Mine condition, workforce stability, coal quality variability, preparation plant performance, rail and barge logistics, permitting status, reserve access, and counterparty credibility all require technical judgment and local context. CCR is based in West Virginia and works from operating experience—not remote desk research.
Operating Principles
How we work with clients
Field-Verified Screening
Reserve claims, permit status, coal quality, and operating conditions are assessed through site context and primary sources—not marketing materials.
Consistent Coverage
Clients receive ongoing screening, monitoring, and opportunity memos—not isolated pitches when a deal happens to surface.
Supply and Assets
CCR works across active supply sourcing and reserve or asset origination—serving clients with different commercial needs through the same Appalachian base.
CAPP and NAPP Depth
Coverage spans Central and Northern Appalachian geology, prep plants, logistics networks, regulatory frameworks, and operator landscapes.
Engagement Model
Most engagements begin with a 90-day retained coverage period—a practical way for a serious client to establish Appalachian market presence, test working fit, and receive actionable screening before committing to a longer arrangement. During that period, CCR typically delivers weekly opportunity memos, active target screening, coal quality review where relevant, asset monitoring, and a monthly strategy call. Transaction introductions and success-based compensation are addressed separately, only where appropriate, and subject to legal review.
CCR does not provide legal, securities, brokerage, or investment advice. Transaction-based compensation, mineral brokerage, securities matters, and buyer/seller representation require appropriate legal review.
