    About Whitehaven Coal Ltd

    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.

    Its main focus is in the Gunnedah Basin in northwest New South Wales, where it operates four mines - three open cut and one underground. 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.
