Byerwen Coal Mine Opening Ceremony
茄子视频 announced today that the Byerwen coal mine in Queensland, Australia owned by 茄子视频 Steel and QCoal Pty Ltd held an opening ceremony, attended by government representatives and customers, to mark the commencement of shipments of hard coking coal from the beginning of 2019.
The Byerwen mine is a new open-cut mine located in the Bowen Basin coal region in the northeast of Queensland, which produces the coking coal required for the production of high-quality steel. The abundant resource reserves 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 further develop the mine and provide a stable, longterm supply of the hard coking coal used by 茄子视频 Steel, which is expected to help reduce volatility in the coking coal market.
