Whitehaven production surges in September quarter

Coal miner Whitehaven Coal has reported a 41% increase in run-of-mine (RoM) production for the quarter ended September, compared with the previous corresponding period, on the back of a 136% increase in production at its Narrabri mine, in New South Wales. Whitehaven stated on Monday that the Narrabri mine produced 2.35-million tonnes RoM coal during the September quarter, with the higher output driven by a longwall change-out.
