摘要

Weather continues to be a problem for Colombian coal producers. "The heavy rains aren't as bad as they were last year, but the situation is still terrible down here," a source in Bogota told Coal Americas, Relentless rain has hammered one of Colombia's largest export coal producing regions - the Cesar Basin. Cesar is the home to Drummond's La Loma and Descanso mines (26 MMt/y) and (Glencore) Prodeco's Calenturitas and La Jagua mines (15.0 MMt/y). In addition, several important smaller exporters are located in the Cesar Basin, including Vale (4.5 MMt/y) and Goldman Sachs (2.4 MMt/y).
