Quest Minerals coal mines
Zu Quest gehört das Unternehmen Gwenco, welche IMHO vertraglich im Besitz von mindestens 9 Minen-Lizenzen sein soll.

Dazu ist eine Auflistung erstellt worden - von Minen, die seit dem Jahre 2004 in News und Fillings erwähnt worden sind. Ob Quest/Gwenco heute noch die gültigen Lizenzen dazu besitzt, ist unklar.

Diese Angaben sind nicht überprüft/bestätigt!
