SunCoke Energy to sell coal mines

Coal mining operations
Revenue from Suncoke's coal mining operations fell 15% to US$ 47 million in Q4 2013, accounting for approximately 12% of total revenue.
"While our coal mining team has delivered significant improvement in productivity, safety and production costs, we believe shareholder value will increase if we exit this business," SunCoke CEO, Fritz Henderson said in a statement.
Suncoke's coal mining operations are located in Virginia and West Virginia.
