Patriot Coal said Wednesday it has halted output at its Harris metallurgical coal mine in West Virginia, until at least the end of the month after it had a roof fall. The accident occurred on June 12, and the company said in a statement it would impact its second-quarter earnings. It is the third issue over a Patriot mine this year: the company temporarily shut its Federal No. 2 mine near Fairview, West Virginia, in February and again in March after finding methane.
