Quarterly Statement of Production, Development and Exploration CURRAGH Production

Overburden removal for the quarter ended 31 March 2017 was 2.1 per cent higher than the previous quarter, driven by improved performance of the overburden removal fleet.

Coal production for the quarter was 3,155,000 tonnes, 1.5 per cent lower than the previous quarter. Metallurgical coal production of 2,268,000 tonnes was in line with the previous quarter and steaming coal production of 887,000 tonnes was 4.7 per cent lower than the previous quarter. For the 12 months to

31 March 2017, metallurgical coal production increased by 11.2 per cent to 8,326,000 tonnes and steaming coal production increased by 10.8 per cent to 3,612,000 tonnes.

Production and sales volumes for the fourth quarter ended 30 June 2017 are expected to be affected by the impacts of Cyclone Debbie on mine and rail operations. As a result, export metallurgical coal sales volumes for the 2017 financial year are expected to be at the lower end of the previously guided range of

8.0 to 8.5 million tonnes, subject to production, rail availability and shipping.
