Planning for an exciting future, supplying high quality British mined metallurgical coal to the steel industry at home and abroad.
Keep up to date with our progress towards development of the first new steel-making coal mine in the UK for over 30 years

WCM will be looking to provide the steel industry at home and overseas with a UK mined supply of high quality coking coal. Before this can happen, a number of feasibility studies and coal quality tests are being carried out to confirm the project viability.
By undertaking exploration in West Cumbria, WCM is investing in the future of the local community to provide greater opportunities including local employment for the coming decades by creating valuable and transferable skills.
Today, members of the team spent the morning, with Jeremy Paxman, discussing the history of coal mining in the UK, its decline and potential revival through our Woodhouse Colliery project in Cumbria.
