BLAIR ATHOL RESULT
Blair Athol ( BA ) continues to deliver superior operational results under its owner operator model and sales for the June 2021 quarter are still forecast to be 675,000 tonnes. Sales at this level represent an annualised run rate of 2.7Mpta.
The most recent fixed price sale contracted for BA (August cargo at 5500 basis) was USD$90.5. Given the reduced cost base of approximately A$60 per tonne at BA, this sales pricing represents a margin of over A$50 per tonne.
SOUTH AFRICA RESULT
Eskom demand has continued at pre-covid sales levels for the South African ( SA ) Operations with delivered domestic tonnes for May 2021 being above the year-todate monthly average of 448,000 tonnes.
The Company continues to push export sales following the implementation of the export strategy in March 2021 and is leveraging off its existing customer base at BA, given the similar quality of higher-grade energy coal at both North Block Complex and New Clydesdale Colliery to BA.
1 The data represents total tonnes and assumes 100% ownership of the South African operations.
2 The data represents equity tonnes.
3 Includes 50,000 export quality tonnes delivered to Eskom.
