Mining Engineering Expertise for Attorneys and Landowners
South Fork Engineering is a mining engineering firm based in Rainelle, West Virginia, serving the Central Appalachian region. We give attorneys and landowners clear, independent answers about mineral property: what it holds, what it is worth, and what happened underground.
What We Do
Litigation Support
Independent analysis, expert reports, and testimony for mining, mineral rights, and property cases.
Reserve Analysis
Estimates of the recoverable coal and other minerals a property holds, built from drilling data, maps, and mining records.
Mineral Appraisals
Defensible valuations of mineral rights for sales, leases, estates, taxes, and condemnation cases.
Mine Optimization
Reviews of mine plans and operations to recover more of the resource at lower cost.
Why South Fork
Christopher R. Vass, Ph.D., P.E. leads every engagement. We turn complex mining analysis into clear findings that hold up under scrutiny.
