UK’s new coal mine sent ‘adverse international signal’, campaigners say
Environmental campaigners are challenging the approval of a coking coal mine in northwest England.
Anglo American, one of the world’s largest miners, today reported strong first half growth with operating profit ahead 40% to $6bn.
Chief Executive Cynthia Carroll said that investments made during the downturn would stand them in good stead in the near-term future.
“We believe that the fundamentals for the mining industry are very, very strong, and therefore the longer-term outlook is extremely positive.”
