Miner Peabody to idle US Shoal Creek met coal mine

摘要

London—US coal miner Peabody Energy Corp. said Oct. 5 it is temporarily idling the Shoal Creek coking coal mine in Alabama, which exports coal to Japan and other markets. Waiting for a recovery in global steel-related demand and an elevated cost structure at the mine, led to the decision to temporarily suspend production, Peabody said in a statement. Peabody said it had recently completed a longwall move at the H-3 panel at Shoal Creek.
