The Cheviot coal mine opened in 2005 in this area, next to Jasper National Park. It will produce 3 million tonnes of coal per year for about 20 years. Coal is trucked to the Luscar mine site where it is cleaned and loaded onto railway cars for export to Asian steel mills.

Coal was mined here from the 1920s to 1950s at the town of Mountain Park, which is now a ghost town.
