Coal & Allied said semi-soft and thermal coal production at its Mt Thorley/Warkworth operations, 15km south-west of Singleton, varied as a result of the different coal seams exposed.
Planned maintenance at Hunter Valley operations affected production during the quarter where coal production totalled almost 3Mt.
