RECORD MONTHLY COAL RAILINGS


Whitehaven Coal Limited (ASX Code: WHC) is pleased to announce that it has set a new record for coal railings from its mines in the Gunnedah Basin to the port of Newcastle during October of just over 1 million tonnes. This follows a period of strong operational performance across all of its mines with Narrabri performing extremely well by producing 190kt in the final week of the month.
The railings also led to a new monthly record for export sales by the company with total sales for the month reaching 1.24 million tonnes.
Whitehaven's Managing Director and CEO, Paul Flynn said " this is a positive outcome for the company as not only are each of the mines performing strongly, the company has been able the sell all of the coal pro duced. It is particularly pleasing in a period when the coal market has been quite weak, that the high quality coals produced by Whitehaven are still in strong demand".
It is currently anticipated that Whitehaven will produce 10.7 million tonnes of coal (100% basis) in FY 2014.
