LONDON (Alliance News) - Atlantic Coal PLC on Wednesday said it has implemented quality management systems at its Stockton anthracite mine near Hazleton, Pennsylvania, US.
The anthracite coal mining company said it is now applying for ISO 9001:2015 certification for its entire anthracite mining and production process.
ISO 9001:2015 is an internationally recognised standard that specifies a range of requirements for a quality management system.
To meet the ISO 9001:2015 requirements, Atlantic Coal said it has installed a laboratory at Stockton to test and analyse the chemical and physical characteristics of the anthracite product, and completed the integration of various systems to facilitate real-time mine planning.
"The laboratory will enable the company to subject its anthracite product to continuous testing, to seek to ensure that Stockton's anthracite specifications continue to be met. The company has also completed the integration of a 3D mine mapping system with the GPS information from its 2014/15 Komatsu fleet of equipment and its Autocad/Carlsson mine design process in the production of real time mine plans," Atlantic Coal said.
As previously disclosed, shares in Atlantic Coal are due to be cancelled from AIM on Thursday. The company will change its name to Atlantic Carbon Group.
