    About Whitehaven Coal Limited

    Whitehaven Coal Ltd (ASX: WHC) is an Australia-based coal miner that exports high-quality thermal coal (primarily used to generate electricity) and metallurgical coal (primarily used for steel making) from Australia to Asia.

Additionally, it has approval to construct an open-cut coal mine at Vickery, 25km north of Gunnedah, and also has plans for another open-cut mine at Winchester South in Queensland’s Bowen Basin.

    Coal is railed to ports in Newcastle for export to Asian customers.

    The Whitehaven Coal share price hit an all-time high in October 2022 on the back of record coal prices.
