The Raton Mesa coal region has the largest coking-coal reserve of any region in Colorado, amounting to approximately 2 billion short tons of marginal grade high-volatile A and B bituminous coking coal. Approximately 1.7 billion short tons of coking-coal reserves are located in the San Juan River coal region of Colorado, varying in rank and grade from premium grade high-volatile A bituminous to latent grade high-volatile B bituminous coking coal. Although the Uinta coal region contains the most desirable coking coal in the West, only 500 million short tons of premium grade medium-volatile bituminous to marginal grade high-volatile B bituminous coking coal has been identified in the region. 4 refs.
