NWR agrees 2015 coal prices with its customers
New World Resources Plc ('NWR') today announces that NWR reached agreements with its customers for coking and thermal coal prices for 2015.
Coking coal
The average price for 74 per cent of NWR's 2015 expected coking coal production has been agreed and fixed for the full year 2015 at EUR 93 per tonne. Prices for the remainder of the expected production will be negotiated later in the year.
The aforementioned coking coal price is based on the expectation that coking coal sales in 2015 will be split approximately 47 per cent mid-volatility hard coking coal, 42 per cent semi-soft coking coal and 12 per cent PCI coking coal.
Thermal coal
The Average price for NWR's 2015 whole expected thermal coal production has been agreed at EUR 52 per tonne.
This average thermal coal price is based on the expectation that thermal coal sales in 2015 will be split approximately 71 per cent thermal coal and 29 per cent middlings.
Notice
All prices are expressed as blended averages between the different qualities both for coking and thermal coal and are ex-works.
All of the announced prices are indicative prices, and are based on an exchange rate of EUR/CZK of 27.5. A range of factors including, but not limited to, exchange rate fluctuations, quality mix, timing of the deliveries and flexible provisions in the individual agreements, may influence final realised prices. The actual realised price for the period may therefore differ from the average prices announced.
