ASX Announcement

 

24 June 2020

 

Coronado production update and impairment of Greenbrier mine

 

Coronado Global Resources Inc. (“Coronado” or the “Company”, ASX: CRN) provides the following update to FY20 production and to the asset carrying value of the Greenbrier mine located in the US.

 

The Company withdrew formal production guidance on 28 April 2020 due to extreme metallurgical coal price and demand volatility caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic1. However, the Board recognises the importance of ensuring the market remains informed to the extent that there is reasonable certainty around production and other material information.

 

Following the restart of the majority of its US operations on 1 June 2020, after being idled in April and May, Coronado now anticipates that total saleable production for the Group in FY20 will be within the range of 16.5 to 17 million tonnes. However, the Group sales volumes are expected to be higher than production as customer demand is met through existing inventory levels.

 

Furthermore, as foreshadowed in the Company’s announcement on 26 May 20202, the Greenbrier mine in the US is expected to remain idle for the remainder of the year until met coal prices recover. As a result, after a review of market conditions, customer demand and current met coal pricing, the Company anticipates that it will be required to recognise a non-cash impairment charge in relation to the carrying value of Greenbrier of approximately US$60-70 million (unaudited) in its upcoming half year results.
