Chris Judd from Cerutty Macro Fund talks with Katana Asset Management’s Portfolio Manager Romano Sala Tenna about metallurgical coal – also known as coking coal.
They discuss Whitehaven Coal (ASX:WHC); coking coal (used to make steel); thermal coal (used for electricity generation); coal pricing; and, political risks around coal.
Mr Sala Tenna discusses the company’s policy of returning capital to shareholders, and its acquisition of the Daunia and Blackwater metallurgical coal mines in a $3.2 billion deal announced last October.
The mines were previously owned by BHP Group (ASX:BHP) and Mitsubishi Development Pty Ltd. The Daunia mine backs onto WHC’s Winchester South asset.
Whitehaven last traded at $7.75.
