The mining giant produced 10.5 million t of metallurgical coal in the three months to 30 September 2016, a rise of 1% on the same period in 2015.
This was achieved on the back of higher wash plant and truck utilisation rates, which offset a number of events in the quarter that negatively impacted production. These included adverse weather conditions, a planned longwall move at Broadmeadow mine and wash plant shutdown at Saraki mine, and lower yield at South Walker Creek.
