Key elements of the equipment have been at the Woestallen preparation site some time before they reached a JV agreement for testing issues. Therefore demounting is not a big issue if necessary. It´s no secret that the future of the Woestalleen hub is dependend on the briquetting exercise and sufficient throughput of ROM coal. It´s another unpleaseant delay but with very limited impact ATM.

White runs a pimped coal wash plant with 1 mtpa nameplate capacity close to their blue gem coal mine in the US. Expanding the blue gem resource base and constructing a 0.3 mtpa briquetting show bag is the key to success.
