Insight
Australian mine closure assessment 2014
Report summary
Australia's coal sector is battling through one of the most challenging periods in recent history, with lower prices weighing on margins and resulting in some operating mines closing. A number of mines continue to operate at negative margins, and a smaller number are not covering their variable costs - a key criterion in deciding whether to cease production in the short-run, and move to care and maintenance.
