Whitehaven Coal Limited
(ASX:WHC) says its achieved record coal railings during the month of April.
Whitehaven increased railings to 0.95 Mt in April, up from the previous record of 0.82 Mt in January this year.
Managing Director Paul Flynn says the result reflects the continued ramp up of production at its Narrabri mine as the longwall moves into the advanced stages of its commissioning process.
He says the performance will flow through to increased sales and reduced take or pay charges.
For the full year, Whitehaven is projecting coal production of 9 Mt.
Whitehaven Coal posted a net loss of $47 million in the first half of fiscal 2013.
