Atlantic Coal plc ("Atlantic Coal" or the "Company")
Further trading update for the nine months ended 30 September
2015
Further to the trading update announced by the Company on 1
October 2015, the Board of Atlantic Coal, the AIM listed anthracite
coal mining company operating in Pennsylvania, USA is pleased to
announce that its unaudited turnover for the nine months ended 30
September 2015 has increased by circa 26% to approximately $17.8
million. Unaudited turnover for the nine months ended 30 September
2014 was approximately $14.1 million.
At the current time Atlantic Coal is experiencing a number of
positive factors, such as:
i. continuing high levels of production and sales for both clean coal and run of mine coal;
ii. healthy level of inventory going into the high demand winter period;
iii. increasing sales prices as from 12 October by $10/ton on clean coal; and
iv. increasing efficiencies in production and transport.
The trading performance to the end of September 2015 and the
above factors gives the Board of Atlantic Coal confidence that the
Company's turnover for the second half of the current year will at
least match the first half's turnover.
Commenting, Atlantic Coal's Managing Director Steve Best
said:
"I am pleased to report an excellent increase in turnover for
the nine months to 30 September 2015, reflecting our impressive
year-on-year increase in production and sales, as reported on 1(st)
October 2015. Compared with the same period in 2014 we have
increased turnover by over $3.7 million, an increase of circa 26%.
This amount is only just short of the total turnover for 2014 of
US$18.4 million and we therefore look forward to exceeding our 2014
revenues in 2015. Going forward, we intend to include estimates of
the Company's unaudited turnover within our quarterly updates".
Atlantic Coal owns and operates the Stockton anthracite mine
("Stockton"), located near Hazleton, Pennsylvania.
