MARKET UPDATE - METALLURGICAL COAL Metallurgical coal market conditions remained challenging during the June Quarter , with pricing continuing to be impacted by subdued global steel demand , cautious procurement by Chinese steel mills and substantial increases in freight costs and vessel availability . Market sentiment was further affected by heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East , which contributed to increased uncertainty across global commodity markets . While demand from China remained relatively subdued , India continued to demonstrate resilient steel production and import demand , providing some support to the seaborne metallurgical coal market . Against this market backdrop , the Company successfully completed its first export shipment to China following the recommencement of mining operations and continues to pursue additional domestic and export sales opportunities .
