Paringa Delivers First Coal to Customers
- Maiden shipment of 1,500 tons of washed coal has been loaded onto barges operated by Paringa's cornerstone customer, LG&E and KU.
- This follows the successful delivery of first coal from the Poplar Grove operation to the Ainsworth Dock.
- Coal quality exceeded contract specifications, validating the CHPP ramp-up performance.
- Sales volumes will continue to ramp up in the coming weeks as additional mining equipment is deployed.
- Paringa continues to build on a strong forward sales book and is sold out for 2019 and approximately 70% committed for 2020 with leading regional power utilities.
- Market conditions in the Illinois Basin remain strong, and the Company is actively engaged with both existing and new customers regarding further sales agreements.
