The interest in the coal sector continues with China's Meijing Energy stepping up its bid for junior digger Rocklands Richfield.
The new offer of $197 million trumps a bid lodged last month by India's Jindal Steel Power that valued Rocklands at $154 million.
Meijing's offers breaks down to 56 cents per share and with all other terms the same as Jindal's.
The tussle over Rocklands started in September, when the company announced a friendly takeover by Jindal at 42 cents a share.
