WEST VIRGINIA (LOOTPRESS) – The West Virginia Coal Association , in collaboration with America’s Coal Associations, has introduced the “Friends of Coal” app.

This interactive platform is aimed at providing users with direct access to current information and key issues affecting West Virginia’s and our nation’s coal industry.

According to Chris Hamilton, president and CEO of the West Virginia Coal Association, “We encourage all friends of coal, whether in West Virginia or across the country, to download the new Friends of Coal app.” He added that the app is an excellent tool for coal supporters to communicate and engage on important issues related to the mining industry and local economies.
