Global Metallurgical Coal Cost Curve - Research Report

Synopsis
This report provides a breakdown of mining cash costs per tonne for individual metallurgical coal operations, company production and country production. Timetrics analysis covers 150 Metallurgical Coal operations accounting for over 340 Mt of metallurgical coal production globally, the majority of which is export production. Overall 30 companies have been included, ranging from the large producers, such Glencore, Anglo American and BHP Billiton, to smaller players, such as Whitehaven, and large steel producers, such as Arcelor Mittal.

Summary
This presentation and accompanying Excel data, provides an coal cost curve for 150 mines, with breakdown of costs into mining, processing, admin, land transport, port charges and royalties.

Key Highlights

Global metallurgical coal costs vary considerably. A contributing factor to this is that much lower quality metallurgical coal (such as semi soft) is produced in redominately thermal coal mines.
Hence some South African and Indonesian operations are low cost, but produce only a small quantity of metallurgical coal. While the majors, such as BHP Billiton, Anglo American and Teck Resources, have relatively higher costs, but these operations producing predominately metallurgical coal, and can run at higher prices because they generate higher revenues.
Low strip ratios will ensure most operations have low mining costs per tonne. Indeed strip ratios are often the determinant for whether a metallurgical coal deposit is economically feasible. It also has led to operations in the last five years closing, such as BHP Billitons Norwich Park.
BHP Billitons decision to spin out South32 with its Illawarra coal assets, is justified in the data as these South32 operations have an average FOB Cash cost of US$70/t, while BHP Billitons remaining assets have an average FOB cash cost of US$58/t.
Anglo American, which has announced its plans to divest itself of its metallurgical coal operations, has higher than average operating costs, at US$76/t.
Australia dominates the global production of metallurgical coal, the majority of which is exported. Canada and the US, the two other major producers, are both at freight disadvantage (when exporting to North Asia) and have higher average operating costs.
