COMMENTARY ON RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
During the financial year the consolidated entity's total production of ROM coal was 256,000 tonnes as compared to 180,000 tonnes in previous financial year ending on 31 March 2015, from the Russel Vale colliery. Production was mainly from partial extraction of longwall 6 for which approval was received. Approval for the remaining portion of longwall 6 and other longwall block 7, 9, 10 and 11 (around 4.7 million tonnes) remains under consideration.
Due to continuing delay in obtaining approvals to commence production, the consolidated entity was forced to put its Russell Vale colliery under care and maintenance from 1 September 2015. Wongawilli Colliery remained in care and maintenance for entire financial year.
The result for the year includes a net foreign exchange gain of $2,825,000 (2015: loss of
$86,070,000) and an impairment charge of $125,469,000 (2015: $44,524,000).
