Coal Mine Background
Mineral development licence was granted in September 2006. The tenement was formerly part of Xstrata Coal's asset portfolio, prior to the merger between Xstrata and Glencore in 2013. Given recent uncertainty about the future of a number of former Xstrata projects, the timing for development of the coal resources at the Pentland site is unknown.[1] Tenements for Pentland expire between October 2019 and September 2021.[2] The project does not appear to be being pursued by Glencore at this time.
