upcoming changes to its executive leadership team as approved by
Contura's board of directors on November 6,

president, chief administrative and legal officer & secretary,
Suzan Moore, senior vice president -

"Contura recognizes and appreciates the collective contributions
of these departing senior leaders as they have served well the
company and its predecessor organizations for many years," said
