Whitehaven coal
The coals we produce service the premium export markets of Asia, to both users of thermal and metallurgical coal products. We supply high energy thermal coal with low trace elements – such as ash, sulphur and nitrogen – to electricity producers, and semi-soft coking coal and PCI coal to steel producers and for use in other smelting applications. With continued economic and population growth in Asia, we are well placed to meet the continued increasing demand for energy generation, infrastructure requirements and manufacturing and industrial outputs.
