A business update provided by Core Natural Resources‘ (NYSE: CNR) provided plenty of energy for its stock on Monday. Shares of the coal miner popped by nearly 3% that day as a result and make the stock look rather good when comparing its performance to the 0.5% lift of the S&P 500 index
Core provided an update on its longwall operations at the Leer South mine in West Virginia. For those unfamiliar, longwall mining is a modern extraction method in which a long face of coal is mined in one single, large slice by a specialty machine called a shearer.
