Quintette coal mine budget over runs in BC talks with Japanese
Denison Mines says Quintette project total cost has risen to 950 million dollars, up from prior estimates, complicating price talks with Japanese steel producers seeking a 14 dollar per tonne coal discount. Bank financing from Japanese lenders adds pressure to maintain cash flow projections. Denison notes the overruns affect returns and the ability to cut coal prices. The project has spent 889 million by December with costs continuing to rise.

Japanese demand for coal price rollback discussed at meeting
After a council gathering, attendees debated a rollback of coal prices for Japanese buyers to align with southeast British Columbia mines. Teck Corp vice-president Bob Hallbauer noted Japanese mills sought a $14 cut from a $95 per tonne contract following a Vancouver visit by Japanese mill reps in December. Hermann said Quinette had similar requests, but the company refused renegotiation.
