GCC Energy
GCC Energy, owns and operates the King II Coal Mine in southwestern Colorado. Located approximately 10 miles southwest of Hesperus, CO the King II Coal Mine is a dry, underground mine that proudly carries on as part of the historic tradition of over a century of agriculture and coal mining in the Hay Gulch area. The mine supplies low-ash, low mercury super-compliant, bituminous coal to our domestic and international customers predominantly for the purpose of manufacturing cement and concrete, but also to power the famous Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad located in Durango, CO.
