Wesfarmers has posted a 3.2 per cent drop in coal production during the June quarter, mainly due to the impact of Cyclone Debbie on the rail network in Queensland that had a flow-on impact on mine operations.
Metallurgical coal production was down 10.1 per cent from the previous quarter to 2.04 million tonnes, while thermal coal production - mostly from NSW's Hunter Valley - rose 14.4 per cent to 1.015 million tonnes.
The Perth-based conglomerate said that for the full-year to June 30, metallurgical coal output was up 12.5 per cent, while thermal coal production rose 16.5 per cent.
