Grande Cache Coal (GCC) is an Alberta based metallurgical coal mining company whose experienced team of coal professionals is managing mining operations that produce metallurgical coal for the steel industry. GCC holds coal leases covering over 22,000 hectares containing over 300 million tonnes of coal resources in the Smoky River Coalfield located in west-central Alberta. Grande Cache Coal's common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “GCE”.

GCC has been producing coal on the property since 2004 and utilizes both surface and underground mining techniques that produce a premium, low volatile, metallurgical coal. The No. 7 Underground Operation has been in production since the fall of 2004 and the No. 8 Surface Pit went into production in the summer of 2010.

GCC has received the amended mine permit and a new mine licence from the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) necessary to commence development of its new No. 12 South B2 underground operation. The No. 12 South B2 underground operation has an estimated resource base of 11.6 million tonnes and coal production is estimated to commence during the third quarter of fiscal 2012, which begins October 1, 2011. Grande Cache Coal has one additional permit and license application in progress, referred to as No. 12 South A Surface Pit.

In December of 2009, GCC announced plans for a strategic expansion to increase the annual clean coal production to a rate of 3.5 million tonnes of coal by March 31, 2013.
