Coal Auction Bids Postponed

The due date to express interest to participate in the auction for coal blocks as part of commercial coal mining has been pushed back by over a month. Coal ministry said “The online auction of coal blocks for commercial mining and sale for private companies will commence in October and final winners declared in November. The deadline for various processes under the auction including a site visit, sale of tender documents, and submission of technical bids has also been extended.”

In a revised schedule shared on e-commerce portal of MSTC, the nominated authority for coal auction, the last date of submission of queries by bidders has been extended to September 11. The first deadline expired on July 23. In earlier comments submitted to the ministry of coal, several investors raised concerns about the timing of the auction citing Covid-19 as the dampener.

Several investors asked the government for a deferment of the auction process by three months, mentioning it will help bidders make an informed decision.

This comes at a time when several objections on ecological grounds have been raised at the Centre’s selection of certain blocks in Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh, resulting in the need to review the initially selected list of 41 coal blocks with a total geological reserve of 16979 million. The blocks spread across five states Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Odisha included a mix of both large and small mines with peak rated capacities ranging from 0.5 to 40 million tonnes per annum. The cumulative PRC for all mines is 225 million tonnes per annum, which is almost equivalent to the annual coal import in the country by volume.

Dr John Williams Highlights Risks from Santos Coal Seam Gas Project at Narrabri

ABC reported that one of Australia's most respected scientists Dr John Williams, a founding member of the Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists, which was established in 2002 to campaign for sustainable development and water reform, has claimed the Narrabri coal-seam gas project poses too great a risk to the region's water, people and environment. Dr Williams has cast doubt on the AUD 3.6-billion Santos project as it enters the last phase of a state approvals process spanning almost four years. Dr Williams said "I personally don't think it is worth the risk. I don't think the current analysis is anywhere sufficient [enough] to give you confidence that there is low level of risk. Even the oil and gas company Santos admitted to uncertainties in its own scientific assessment of the project. There are many things where the report has been quite honest and we don't know but we'll proceed and hope it works out. That's not good enough. I think the risk to our vegetation and habitat, the risk to our agricultural land and the risk to our water resources is such that I don't think we are in a position, in my view, to say there is no risk to any of that.”

The NSW Independent Planning Commission recently concluded seven days of public hearings into the project, in which it heard more than 400 submissions. Santos and the Department of Planning, Infrastructure and the Environment claimed the project was subjected to rigorous scientific assessment and it could be developed with minimal and manageable risks to the environment. A decision is due early next month on whether the 850-well project will be approved.

Dr John Williams is a former head of CSIRO's Land and Water division, a New South Wales Land and Environment Commissioner and is currently an emeritus professor and research associate at the Australian National University.

The Narrabri gas project has been one of the most controversial and contested projects in New South Wales planning history.

CIL BCCL Coking Coal Production Recovers in July

The Telegraph reported that Coal India Limited’s Dhanbad based subsidiary Bharat Coking Coal Limited coking coal production has picked up in July and is expected to rise to about 29 to 30 million tonnes in August, marking a swift turnaround after a downturn during the first quarter of the new financial year 2020-21 due to lockdown and resultant lack of demand. Bharat Coking Coal Limited Chairman cum Managing Director PM Mr Prasad Talking to The Telegraph Online, Prasad said "The monsoon has not impacted the coal production much, the impact was more due to the lockdown as only only 10 million tonne of coal destpatch took place during the month of April. The situation slightly improved in May with some of the industries opening up and the process of gradual increase in production and despatch continued in June which finally rose to around 19 million tonnes during July making it almost double of that of April.”

He said "We are expecting the total despatch to increase to around 29 to 30 million tonne as the per day despatch is inching towards 2 million tonne. We are expecting the situation to further improve by next month when per day despatch is expected to reach around 2.8 million tonne per day.”

Asked about the impact of monsoon on production and despatch, Mr Prasad said, "Around 40 per cent rains out of total 1000-1100 mm of rains, which takes place in area, has already taken place so we are expecting the remaining part of monsoon to not significantly affect the production as we are continuously monitoring the situation through area-level control rooms as well as the control room at the BCCL headquarter."

Adani Not Interested in Commercial Coal Mine Auctions

Reuters reported that when asked to comment on these coal mining reforms and if Adani would participate in domestic auctions for coal mines, Adani Group’s Chief Financial Officer r Jugeshinder Singh in an investor call said that he would restrict participation to mining services. He said “Not really until and unless it related to mining services, not commercial coal mining.”

Following the press conference, the company in a brief statement to Reuters downplayed Singh’s comments stating it would be open to participate in the auctions, depending on coal demand and opportunities offered by the government. Earlier on the call, Singh had said Adani Group was deemphasising commercial coal mining. He said “Coal-related and mining-related businesses are becoming an increasingly insignificant part of the group’s portfolio. Carmichael project in Australia would be less ambitious than initially envisioned. Carmichael rather than being a mining business is now a support business for Adani Power.”

Adani Group’s position highlights the struggles of the global coal sector, which has been battered by low prices and falling demand. It also highlights challenges India will face in attracting private sector investors into coal as it attempts to become a net exporter. Globally, investors are shying away from coal assets amid increasing pressure from climate change activists on large international miners and banks.

Illawarra Residents against Public Hearing for Wollongong Coal Expansion Plans

Illawarra Mercury reported that Wollongong Coal, recently released from the pressure of an investigation by the state's Resources Regulator, will soon have a public hearing into its plans to expand its Russell Vale colliery. Illawarra Residents for Responsible Mining member Mr Gavin Workman said “The project shouldn't be considered while the miner still hasn't met obligations from its previous approvals. They were required to realign the Bellambi Creek to protect it from flooding and pollution by October 2012 but were unable to fulfill this condition due to lack of finances. The coal from before] has been mined and sold by the proponent but it has not met its obligations. What guarantee does the community have that Wollongong Coal can and is able to fulfill its conditions under any future approval? We have seen numerous conditions removed or significantly altered at this Russell Vale mine and frankly we are losing faith in the whole NSW planning process. We lost confidence in Wollongong Coal's ability to perform years ago and do not believe they have the capability to mine safely under our water catchment."

Planning Minister Rob Stokes has referred the miner's Russell Vale colliery expansion bid to the Independent Planning Commission, with a 12-week deadline after the department's assessment report is received.

Wollongong Coal has not informed investors of this development via the Australian Securities Exchange, from which it is seeking to be delisted.

Eastern Mining’s Solntsevsky Coal Mine Reports 33% Increase in Coal Production in H1 of 2020

Eastern Mining Company’s Solntsevsky coal mine increased its coal production by 33% in the first 6 months of 2020 compared to the same period last year. The production indicator exceeded 5 million tonnes. During the same period last year, 3.8 million tonnes were produced. Solntsevsky coal mine Deputy Director for Production Ivan Podgornykh said “The increase in production volumes became possible thanks to the program for the modernization of mining equipment and equipment, as well as through the introduction of digitalization. Vostochnaya Mining Company annually invests in the development of the Solntsevsky coal mine. This made it possible to increase production capacity and achieve higher coal production rates.”

During the implementation of the investment program from January to June 2020, the company significantly renewed and expanded its fleet of specialized vehicles. 21 units of modern high-performance mining transport equipment were put into operation: 4 excavators, 3 bulldozers and 14 BelAZ trucks.

Also, as part of the implementation of the digitalization program at the Solntsevsky coal mine, it was possible to achieve a reduction in routine downtime and an increase in the load of specialized equipment. Due to the introduction of an automated monitoring and control system, the use of transport capacities has grown by almost 10%.

The volume of stripping work at the Solntsevsky coal mine increased by 46%: in the first half of 2020, more than 51 million cubic meters of rock mass were moved. A year earlier, this figure was almost 35 million tonnes.

Congress Opposes EIA Notification 2020

Indian National Congress has alleged that the draft Environmental Impact Assessment Notification 2020, if approved in its current form, will license and legitimise environmental damage indefinitely by monetising environmental crimes. Congress spokesperson Mr Randeep Singh Surjewala said that “EIA 2020 is in complete negation of the Environmental Protection Act, 1986 as also the judgements of the Supreme Court. EIA 2020 is an assault on India's ecological security, environment, flora and fauna, forests, fragile ecosystems, marginalized people and future generations. The draft EIA 2020 allows the project owners to post-facto pay compensation in cases where they pollute the environment and continue their operation. This is an amnesty scheme giving a clean chit to polluters without a cut-off date.”

Indian National Congress party also said that the government has excluded environmental clearance requirement for strategic projects without defining what is strategic.

The deadline for filing objection to the draft of Environmental Impact Assessment Notification 2020 expired on August 11. Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change had issued it on March 23. It had earlier set June 30 as the date for filing objections. However, following a writ petition, the Ministry extended the date till August 11. If the Notification is passed, it would replace the current EIA 2006 and make several important clauses about which the environmentalists and civil society organizations had expressed concern over devastating impact of ruthless destruction of forests, hills and rivers.

The Draft Notification allows for post-facto clearance implying that the projects will have the scope for first violating the environment laws and then seek clearance which goes against the very objective of such laws. Secondly, it leaves little scope for public consultation. The Notification itself gave 20 days for public consultation and then extended it after public uproar. Thirdly, it exempts projects that the Government may think were strategic. This allows huge margin for error and especially now that only post-facto clearances were necessary. This is likely to place lot many projects out of the pale of public objections and regulatory system.

According to NGO Environment Support Group, India currently stands pretty low, i.e., at 168th position among the ranking of Environmental Performance Index of 180 countries. Environment related NGOs are unanimous that the current notification favours the industrial projects rather than the environment protection.

Indian Coal Imports in April-July Shrink as COVID19 Bites Demand

According to a provisional vessel data compilation, by mjunction services, India’s coal import fell 43.2 per cent to 11.13 million tonnes in July 2020 on account of high stockpile of the dry fuel at pitheads, plants and ports. During April-July 2020, total coal imports were recorded at 57.27 million tonnes, which is 35.76 per cent lower than 89.15 million tonnes imported during April-July 2019. mjunction managing director and chief executive Mr Vinaya Varma said “Import demand continued to be weak amidst high stockpile of coal at pitheads, plants and ports. The market participants seem to have adopted a wait and watch approach and are currently looking for a direction. We do not expect to see any significant variation in volumes in the short-term.”

During April-July 2020, non-coking coal imports stood at 38.84 million tonnes as compared to 60.97 million tonnes imported in the corresponding period last year. Coking coal imports were at 10.67 million tonnes during April-July 2020, down from 17.73 million tonnes imported during the same period last year

The country’s coal imports increased marginally by 3.2 per cent to 242.97 million tonne in 2019-20.

American Resources to Acquire 2 Miners for Perry County Resources Mining Complex

American Resources Corporation announced that the Company has signed a contract to acquire two additional continuous miners for their Perry County Resources mining complex in Hazard in Kentucky. The PCR complex was acquired in September 2019 and has undergone a major restructuring. In anticipation of restarting the PCR complex within the next thirty days, American Resources is expanding its fleet of continuous miners to fit its restructured and low-cost operating model. With the addition of the two continuous miners the Company will now have six continuous miners as it restarts and ramps production.

Over the next twelve months, American Resources anticipates ramping up carbon production at PCR to have five continuous miners in operation with two super sections and one bridge section, allowing the mine to scale with maximum efficiency. The Company also anticipates adding additional continuous miners to the fleet at PCR to have a high degree of redundancy to minimize any unexpected equipment down-time. Additionally, the Company is anticipating through its forecasted production schedule to ramp the PCR complex to over 1.0 million tons of carbon per year to be shipped on the PCI, semi-soft metallurgical carbon and specialty stoker markets.

Production at PCR has been idle during the COVID-19 outbreak to ensure a safe working environment, to protect the health of its employees and others, to mitigate the spread of the virus, and to better navigate the global economic disruption. With its restart, American Resources expects the complex to support approximately 140 long-term, sustainable jobs for the community.

Mr Aditya Thackeray Pursues Exclusion of Marki Mangli II from Coal Block Auction

Maharashtra’s Minister of Tourism and Environment Mr Aditya Thackeray has urged the Union Minister to drop the auction of Marki Mangli-II Coal Block as it could cause irreparable losses to the entire forest zone ecosystem and the wildlife that has been depending on it. Marki Mangli-II Coal Block falls in the corridor of TATR Tipeshwar wildlife sanctuary and also falls under the area of approved Tiger Conservation Plan of Tadoba. About 250 hectares of the proposed mining area, which account for almost 50% of this project, is on reserve forestland in the Mukutban range of Yavatmal district.

Mr Thackeray said "Our thriving tigers in the region will not only lose their natural habitat but would have to face massive level of disturbances due to the mining activity and increased presence of humans in the region."

Mr Thackeray also thanked the Union Minister for his intervention in the Bandar Coal Mine issue last month. He said that by dropping it from the auction list, an extremely sensitive eco-zone of tigers and invaluable biodiversity has been saved from destruction.

CONSOL Coal Resources Reports Results for the Second Quarter 2020

CONSOL Coal Resources LP has reported financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. CONSOL Coal Resources Chief Executive Officer Mr Jimmy Brock said "The second quarter of 2020 was the most challenging quarter I have seen in the 30+ year history of the Pennsylvania Mining Complex, as government-imposed lockdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, both domestically and abroad, resulted in historic underutilization of our assets. The significant demand decline in the second quarter that reduced our operational and sales performances also significantly impacted our financial results. However, I am pleased with the prompt response of our team, as we sought to align our operations with demand and reduce discretionary spending. From a shipment perspective, the decrease in demand for our coal as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic hit its lowest point to date in May. With summer weather now officially upon us and with economies beginning to reopen, we have seen shipment levels improve since the end of the second quarter, and we are cautiously optimistic that this trend will continue through the second half of 2020. Although we can't control the markets or overall demand during these unprecedented times, we are laser focused on managing the things that are within our control."

Second Quarter 2020 Highlights
Net loss of USD 7.9 million

CONSOL Coal Resources sold 0.6 million tons of coal during the second quarter of 2020 at an average revenue per ton sold of USD 43.82, compared to 1.8 million tons at an average revenue per ton sold of USD 47.53 in the year-ago period. The significant decline in sales tons for the quarter was the result of an unprecedented contraction in US. and global economic activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of this decline, several customers deferred tonnage and/or partially bought out of their contracted positions.

Exxaro Resources Reports 2% Decline in Thermal Coal Sale

South African coal miner Exxaro Resources Ltd said “As defined an essential service for providing coal to Eskom for electricity generation, as well as being an exporter, our coal operations continued operating at various capacities, while complying with the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions as implemented by the national government. Due to the impact of COVID-19 and the subsequent lockdown, many industrial customers in the domestic market have either reduced demand or stopped coal off take during April and May. In addition, coat exporters produced a sized coal product for the local markets due to very low export pricing. This resulted in an oversupply, negatively impacting domestic prices. ut is estimated that the seaborne market is oversupplied by at least 40Mt. We have seen the worst of the lockdowns, with negative impacts on the energy complex. The prices of both oil and gas have dropped to record levels and the API4 index price dropped to historically low levels of $4Ctft. Markets like Vietnam and Pakistan took advantage during this period of low prices to South African coal while the Indian demand fell below the normal off take. As governments across the globe try to revive their economies we do see a gradual uptick in demand in some markets.”

Illegal Coal Mining in Qinghai Threatens Nature Reserves

An investigation by Xinhua News Agency has found that years of exploitative illegal mining near a national nature reserve in northwest China has taken a toll on the alpine grassland and wetland, posing a threat to the environment of a key water conservation area. According to the investigation, Qinghai Xingqing Industry & Trade Engineering Group Corporation has been suspected of illegally mining more than 26 million tonnes of coal in the Juhugeng coal mine in the Muli mining area for 14 years, raking in more than 10 billion yuan. The reckless mining continued for years despite two rounds of inspections by central authorities targeting environmental violations in the Qilian Mountains, and the banning of all mining activities in Muli by authorities in Qinghai Province

Two officials in Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai have been removed from office for dereliction. Ma Shaowei, chairman of Xingqing, has been put under criminal coercive measures by the police, according to the press conference.

Rich in charred coal, the Juhugeng coal mine is located at an altitude of 4,200 meters in Tianjun County in Qinghai, near the Qilian Mountains national nature reserve, which sits on the border of the provinces of Gansu and Qinghai. Among the seven mining fields of Juhugeng, the No 1 field is the largest in size and reserves. Xingqing had four mining teams, 120 types of machinery and nearly 300 people working in the No 5 well of the No 1 field in Juhugeng. The open-pit mining site stretched for 5 km, forming a ravine about one km wide and 300 to 500 meters deep. The excavated underground frozen soil, rock and coal gangue was piled up 40 to 50 meters high near the mine, burying large areas of grassland.

Data from the provincial government shows that Xingqing paid a total of 333 million and 412 million yuan in taxes in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Based on the tax records, analysts estimated that the company had illegally mined over 20 million tonnes of high-quality charred coal from the No. 1 field of Juhugeng between the end of 2006 and June of 2014, making at least 11 billion yuan. Xingqing's internal documents show that it mined a total of 20.5 million tonnes of coal from the No 1 field, raking in total revenue of 11 billion yuan, corroborating the estimation.

MC Mining to Raise ZAR15 Million for Makhado Hard Coking Coal Project

South African coal miner MC Mining has been given the go-ahead for ZAR 15 million capital raise, as it continues to raise capital to develop its flagship Makhado project. The group, which has a market capitalisation of ZAR 188 million, will issue about 13.3-million shares, at 105.56 per share. The number of shares in issue will rise by about 9.4% to 154 million once the capital raise is completed, with the permission coming from the Reserve Bank.

A commitment for the issue of the New Equity was a condition in the ZAR 40 million restructured loan agreement with the Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa Limited to advance the Makhado hard coking coal project and for general working capital. In terms of the Agreement, the IDC will receive an estimated 1.1 million warrants, equating to 0.8% of MC Mining's issued shares, and its direct participation in the Makhado Project will increase from 5% to 6.7%.

British Columbia Develops Roben Jig Method to Wash Coking Coal

A new Geoscience BC minerals research report demonstrates an innovative and safer way of assessing the economic viability of steelmaking coal samples. Steelmaking coal from mines in British Columbia contains mineral and ash particles, which producers must remove to produce a clean sample for accurate coal and coke quality characterization. Over the past three years, Geoscience BC has funded a series of projects by researchers at the Canadian Carbonization Research Association to develop and test a new, water-based Roben Jig, also known as a Boner Jig, method. The Roben Jig uses a simple water-based shaking technique to wash coal samples as effectively as traditional processes, without the use of carcinogenic organic liquids.

CCRA's Melanie Mackay said "In this third phase of the project, we aimed to bring the testing up to a pilot scale size. We were able to compare the product from the Roben Jig process to traditional coal washing methods as well as an industrial wash plant. The clean coals from these methods were also carbonized in a pilot coke oven which is the gold standard for coke evaluation. Our results show that the water-based Roben Jig method produces similar quality coal to an industrial wash plant and resultant cokes had the same qualities. The benefit is that it was done without the potential hazards of organic liquids for laboratory operators, or a negative impact on the results of the clean coal and coke analyses.”

Coal is British Columbia’s biggest export, with coal mines supporting communities in the Northeast and Southeast regions. In 2019, BC coal mines produced 30 million tonnes of coal valued at over CAD 5 billion.
