The Canadian coal industry produces coal for use in metallurgical applications (e.g. coking or steelmaking) and thermal applications (e.g. electricity generation). More than half of the coal produced in Canada is metallurgical, and the rest is thermal. Some power-generating companies not only use coal for electricity generation …
The coal mining sector encompasses all coal mining operations, both open cut and underground which operate either as stand-alone extraction units or they are tied-in with specific thermal power plants or other coal consumers. Risk is defined as the measure of the probability and severity of business adverse effects (Lowrance, 1976).
