11 March 2015

In Australia, our flagship metallurgical coal project – Grosvenor – has hit another milestone with the first coal sale loaded on the MV Spring Aeolian bound for India.

On 7 February, just over 19,000 tonnes of Grosvenor’s coal product was shipped after being transported from the site in Moranbah to Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal near Mackay, a 195km journey.

The Grosvenor product was part of approximately 78,000 tonnes of Moranbah North Hard Coking coal loaded on-board the MV Spring Aeolian which is now on a 22 day voyage to India.

First sale for Grosvenor coal

A rewarding journey

This coal sale came about through the Grosvenor team’s outstanding efforts in establishing the underground roadways, conveyors and mining panels as they prepare for the longwall mining machinery installation. Following the tunnel boring machine breakthrough earlier this month, the longwall is expected to be in full mining production in 2016.

Head of Marketing and Sales Metallurgical Coal Rod Elliott said Grosvenor’s first coal sale added to Anglo American’s high quality product portfolio from our Queensland operations.


 “Our $1.95 billion investment in Grosvenor is the cornerstone of our asset portfolio and growth, and seeing the first commercial benefits from our investment is a very important achievement,”

Rod
