. Has anyone seen a silver lining around this dark cloud yet?

I don't post here very often, I "lurk".But I have a view of an industry update that I will share.The Coking coal industry is at a turning point right now. Consumption by China has exploded (in a good way). BUT stocks were at an all time high. We need to wait another 2…[Read more]

They will not normally award contracts while at the same time…[Read more]

Do you really still believe the Bowen Basin coal industry is the place to buy right now…..I've been posting on this forum since August that things might be on their way down.I still think there's better things to do…[Read more]

I only included those references to provide backup for what I was saying. I am involved in the coking coal mining industry – outside of Australia. The comments were more my own view from within the industry. (I guess that you too might be involved).  Also, the articles were before the recent world events…[Read more]

(coking) coal exports, but it is a small player on a global scale for thermal (power station generation) coal.…[Read more]
