TerraCom Limited (ASX:TER) – Quarterly Activities Report for period ended 30 September 2024

TerraCom Limited (ASX:TER) 2 mins read

In the September Quarter, the business achieved 2.5Mt of Total Run-of-Mine (ROM) Coal production1 and 1.8Mt in Total coal sales.

Blair Athol (BA) achieved forecast total coal sales of 404kt for the September Quarter, production and shipping cadence are aligned with the annual mine plan and BA remains on track to meet the forecast guidance of 1.8Mt for the full year to 30 June 2025. BA coal sales for the Quarter were a combination of index-linked and fixed-price cargoes with an overall achieved price of A$149.5 per sold tonne.

Our operations in South Africa (SA) faced challenges this Quarter, delivering 1.3Mt total coal sales from the New Clydesdale Colliery and the North Block Complex; a 12% decrease from the June Quarter. Despite expectations for improved railing performance, logistics constraints persisted, limiting train availability to both operations during the September Quarter. This resulted in lower than anticipated export sales of 141kt on a combined basis; a 30% drop from the June Quarter. Domestic sales to Eskom also fell below the expected run rate, totalling 1.2Mt for the September Quarter; a 9% decrease from the June Quarter. However, we remain optimistic about improving export sales performance for our SA operations. 

The announcement of the Cooperation Agreement in August 2024 with Wintime Energy Group Co., Ltd (Wintime) is a significant achievement for TerraCom and our team. I am honored by the trust that Wintime has placed in TerraCom to bring the Moorlands Project to fruition and to explore global development opportunities to expand the reach of both TerraCom and Wintime.”

Managing Director, Danny McCarthy
