Wesfarmers Ltd
(ASX:WES) says it has suspended all mining operations at its Curragh mine in Queensland as a result of heavy rains and flooding in the area.
The company says a flood surge near the mine is expected to peak on Sunday and forecasts show it will exceed the peak flood levels seen in January 2008.
Wesfarmers says the force majeure at the mine on all exports and domestic contracts declared on December 2 remain in place.
For the year ended 30 June 2010, Wesfarmers reported a net profit of $1.6 billion.
