Thungela Resources Ltd, up 9.0% at 575.00 pence, 12-month range 111.02p-575.00p. Shares rally, hitting 12-month high, after the coal miner said it expects to swing to annual earnings following a surge in coal prices in 2021. The Anglo American spin-off, which has operations in South Africa, expects 2021 earnings per share between ZAR60.32 and ZAR61.27, about GBP2.93 and GBP2.99, bouncing back from a ZAR5.31 loss in 2020. Headline EPS are expected to be between ZAR65.81 and ZAR66.76, returning from a ZAR5.31 loss. This came on the back of stronger coal prices in the year as a global energy crunch caused prices to rocket to a high of USD274.50 per tonne in October from USD69.00 at the start of 2021. Coal prices were still sitting at elevated levels, fetching USD189.00 a tonne on Friday around midday.
