PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Coal miner Whitehaven Coal has reported increased production and sales volumes for the quarter ended September, as production from the Narrabri mine increased.

Run-of-mine (RoM) coal production was up 22% on the previous corresponding period, to 4.4-million tonnes, while quarterly saleable coal production was also up by 23% on the previous corresponding period, to 4.9-million tonnes

Whitehaven on Tuesday reported that coal sales for the quarter also increased by 14%, to 5.5-million tonnes.

“The quarter represents a solid planned start to the year, which will be second half weighted,” said MD and CEO Paul Flynn.

“Our programme of improving efficiency continues with the autonomous haulage evaluation programme at Maules Creek entering the final stage of technical testing and commissioning in the second quarter of 2020.

Further, new higher capacity longwall chock legs have started to arrive at Narrabri, ahead of the changeout later this year when we will install higher capacity cylinders to help build resilience against cyclical weighting events.”

Whitehaven has maintained its full year production guidance at between 22-million and 23.5-million tonnes of RoM coal.
