My highlights were

"Bathurst Resources has despatched its first export coal from the Cascade mine on the West Coast's Denniston Plateau, with the first shipment through Westport due in November."

"Bathurst chief executive Hamish Bohannan told BusinessDesk the company also expects to make its first shipment from the nearby Brookdale mine, also acquired this year from a local entrepreneur, in January next year."

"The Escarpment mine site "is not wilderness," said Bohannan."

"On the climate change objections, Bohannan said Bathurst's project was "the wrong target."

"Its Buller coal was high-grade, high value fuel used in steel-making, for which there was no current alternative."

"There's no way you'd burn this stuff in a power station," he said. "It's far too valuable."

Well said Hamish

Now Just how much coal can we get out of Cascade and Brookdale; still a little foggy on that one
