摘要

Global met coal market is ‘nicely balanced’, Mine is permitted but has been closed since 2000 Louisville, Kentucky—Canada’s Teck Resources has no plans to restart its Quintette metallurgical coal mine in northeast British Columbia, thereby keeping the mine’s 4 million mt/year output from disrupting a global met coal market that is “nicely balanced,” according to company officials.
