Bens Creek Group PLC - Owner of a metallurgical coal mine in the US state of West Virginia - Produces 50,100 tonnes of metallurgical coal in September, up sharply from 17,630 tonnes a year prior, and 17% higher than 42,691 tonnes in August. For the six-month period to September 30, coal output more than doubles to 204,998 tonnes from 99,928 tonnes year-on-year. Bens Creek expects October production to rise from September. Chief Executive Officer Adam Wilson says: "With both highwall miners now in full operation the company expects to be able to continue the growth in production into the next quarter. This increased production is further enhanced by the reduction of costs per ton from June 2023, and the recent rebound in the met coal price from its lows of USD191 in August 2023 to USD238 at the current time."
We remain optimistic for the future for the Company."
