Wesfarmers Limited
(ASX:WES) has reported that its flagship Curragh metallurgical coal mine in Queensland has met the conglomerate’s 2011 production guidance.
The company cut Curragh’s production guidance in May, blaming unseasonal rainfall and a mechanical failure.
However, a strong June quarter has helped Curragh deliver 5.38 million tonnes of coking coal in 2011 financial year.
The figure comes in at the higher end of guidance, of between 5.1 million and 5.4 million tonnes.
Wesfarmers reported a profit of $1.17 billion in the first six months of the 2011 financial year.
