By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., Dec. 5 - Armstrong Energy, Inc.'s $200 million offering of seven-year senior secured notes (/B-/) is being discussed in a yield context in the mid-10% range, according to a market source.

Formal price talk has yet to be announced, said the source, who added that the deal is expected to price on Thursday.

Stifel Nicolaus & Co. Inc. has the books for the Rule 144A and Regulation S deal. PNC Capital Markets LLC is the co-manager.

Proceeds will be used to repay the company's senior secured credit facility and for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and potential reserve acquisitions.

The prospective issuer is a St. Louis-based diversified producer of low-chlorine, high-sulfur thermal coal from the Illinois Basin.
