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.

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or reserves:
“You should hurry up ... and acquire the cigar habit. It’s one of the major happinesses. And so much more lasting than love, so much less costly in emotional wear and tear.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“While you are nurturing your newborn, you need someone to nurture you, whether it is with healthful drinks while you’re nursing, or with words of recognition and encouragement as you talk about your feelings. In this state of continual giving to your infant—whether it is nourishment or care or love—you are easily drained, and you need to be replenished from sources outside yourself so that you will have reserves to draw from.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
