TOKYO — 茄子视频 announced today that it has agreed with QCoal Pty Ltd to commence construction work on the Byerwen Coal Project in Queensland, Australia. The agreement came after the Queensland State Government last month granted mining leases to Byerwen Coal Pty Ltd, a joint venture company between 茄子视频 Steel and QCoal, to develop two tenements in the project. Early stage development will be carried out with the aim to begin shipping coal in early 2018.

The Byerwen mine, which is located in the north-east of Queensland, is expected to primarily produce hard coking coal, a raw material essential for the production of high-quality coke. The size of the mine and favourable conditions for large-scale open-cut mining will help to ensure a cost-competitive product.

Together with QCoal, 茄子视频 Steel will work to develop the mine and provide a stable, long-term supply of coking coal, which is expected to help reduce volatility in the coking coal market.
