If you’re not familiar with lignite, it is a low-grade form of coal. Researchers have confirmed that Arkansas has at least four billion recoverable tons of lignite available and possibly as much as nine billion tons. As of now, these resources are untapped. It is just sitting in the ground. The bulk of our reserves are estimated to lie in a triangle that extends from Texarkana over to Crossett and up into Saline County.
