Major Reserves
Among current producers, Russia, China and Ukraine have the largest estimated recoverable reserves of anthracite. Other countries with substantial reserves include Vietnam and North Korea.
The largest fields of anthracite coal in the United States are found in northeastern Pennsylvania called the Coal Region, where there are 7 billion short tons (6.3 billion tonnes) of minable reserves. Deposits at Crested Butte, Colorado were mined historically.
Anthracites of newer, Tertiary or Cretaceous age, are found in the Crow's Nest part of the Rocky Mountains in Canada, and at various places in the Andes in Peru.
