BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Yellowstone County commissioners have approved tax breaks for Signal Peak Energy and its Bull Mountain coal mine south of Roundup.

The tax breaks apply to the company’s longwall mining equipment and will be worth about $288,000 in 2013, with the amount tapering in future years as the breaks phase out, County Treasurer Max Lennington said.
