Colombia's 2013 coal output slips in rough

摘要

Colombia produced 85.5mt of coal in 2013, the National Mining Agency said in February, a 4% year-on-year drop that took output below target and reflected strikes at the country's top two miners combined with logistics disruption. The Andean nation is the world's No. 4 coal exporter but is struggling to put last year's disruption behind it after the Government in January shut down the port of the No. 2 miner, U.S.-based Drummond Coal Inc over failure to comply with a new environmental law. It is expected to resume exports late this month.
