Pioneer Coal is a local mining operation based out of Antigonish, Nova Scotia. They have been using Truck and Shovel method in Stellarton since the 90's, providing coal to Pictou County's Trenton Generating Station. The community's advisory board has been working with locals to prepare a reclamation plan that will continue to offer benefits to the community long after the mine has closed its doors. We look forward to documenting this process and saving a piece of Stellartons history as our rich Coal Mining Industry comes to an end.
