Centennial Coal

A subsidiary of Banpu Public Company Limited, Asia's largest independent coal group.

Established in 1989 and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in 1994, Centennial is a coal mining and marketing company supplying thermal and coking coal to the domestic and export markets. From small beginnings in 1989 and a $20 million listing in 1994 Centennial grew to be a top S&P/ASX 100 company. Upon the recent takeover by Banpu Public Company Limited (”Banpu”) in October 2010, our market capitalisation had grown to approximately $2.5 billion.

The Company is a major fuel supplier to the New South Wales energy industry, fuelling approximately 46% of the State’s coal-fired electricity.

Centennial sells approximately 35% of its coal into the export market. Coal is exported through ports at Newcastle and Port Kembla in NSW. Customers include power stations and steel mills in Taiwan, Japan, Korea and Europe.

We are securing our future through organic growth at existing operations and focused portfolio management – including acquisitions, divestments and focused exploration.

We have approximately 1,700 employees and ten operating coal mines in NSW, making Centennial one of the largest underground coal producers in NSW and now, as part of Banpu, a member of the largest independent pan-Asian coal group.
