About Coronado
About Coronado
Coronado Global Resources Inc. is a leading international producer of high-quality Met coal, an essential element in steel production. Our coals, transformed in the steelmaking process, support the manufacture of everyday steel-based products that enrich lives around the world - including steel needed for the manufacture of renewable energy infrastructure.
We employ approximately 1,600 people directly and over 1,800 contractors globally with our principal executive office located in Brisbane, Australia. Coronado is one of the largest Met coal producers globally, supplying customers on five continents with a range of high quality coals.
FY21 Full Year Results
Coronado finished the year in a very strong financial position. We delivered substantial increases in Revenue, EBITDA and Net Profit and returned the balance sheet to a Net Cash position. These positive results have benefited from the recent high price environment, but also from the hard decisions taken in mid-2021 to restructure our debt arrangements as we completed a comprehensive $550 million refinancing package, which enhanced liquidity and provided a more flexible capital structure moving forward.

Steel Starts Here
Coronado is a leading metallurgical coal producer and trusted supplier to the global steel industry.
Metallurgical coal (Met coal) is an essential ingredient in the production of steel, which is the most utilised metal in the world and an essential material underpinning social and economic growth. Steel’s strength and durability make it critical in the construction of major infrastructure projects (including renewable energy infrastructure), transportation technology, electrical equipment, and everyday household goods such as appliances.
As the world’s population continues to grow and urbanise, steelmakers and their suppliers will play a vital role in providing quality products that support a wide variety of uses well into the future.
Production of Steel
When iron is combined with carbon, recycled steel, and other elements, it is transformed into a much stronger material called Steel which can be 1,000 times stronger than iron.
Wide use of Steel
Steel is essential to modern society. Steel protects and provides strong frameworks for our buildings and infrastructure, including renewable energy infrastructure. It can be found in rails, roads, vehicles and domestic appliances. Steel delivers our food and water and enables energy generation and transmission.
Met coal, a fundamental ingredient in the production of steel, enables the construction of renewable energy infrastructure which is critical for the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Total global crude steel production reached 1.9 billion tonnes in 2021. Steel production is broadly used as follows:
Sustainability of Steel
Steel is 100% recyclable and can be reused infinitely. On average new steel products contain 30% recycled steel. Steel products are durable and last a long time, with the average life span for a steel product being 40 years.
The strength and durability of steel has made it the most important material in our everyday lives.
Its multi-functional nature allows for broad use in everything from major infrastructure projects, to transport including cars and airplanes, and even common household appliances. Steel is also a core component of next generation renewable energy solutions such as solar, wind and hydro, and can also be recycled, making it uniquely sustainable material to be used for generations to come.
Energy consumption per tonne of steel
reduced by 60%
since the 1960s, which has contributed to a significant decrease in CO2 intensity
New lightweight high-strength steels make applications
25 - 40% lighter & stronger.
These new steels help other industries reduce their environmental footprint
Sustainability
Coronado has set a target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 30% by 2030. Â
1Fugitive emissions baselines are calculated in line with current methodology (as per National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting and Environmental Protection Agency Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program regulatory calculations), including estimates for present Life of Mine production profile and resource depletion plan.
Target refers only to Scope 1 and 2 emissions. The baseline takes 2019 data and is exclusive of any acquisitions and will be adjusted as required.
U.S. Scope 1 fugitive emissions reductions are based on potential performance on the Ventilation Air Methane Regenerative Thermal Oxidation units and historic methane concentrations throughout the Buchanan Mine.
To offset U.S. Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity consumption renewable energy certificates will be purchased in 2022.
Curragh baselines (based on Scope 1 and 2 emissions) do not include allowances for expansion options such as underground mining or accelerated open cut mining.
Carbon offsets may be used to achieve targets and these will be selected based on those meeting recognised standards as per the National Carbon Offset Standard.
Coronado’s Sustainability Principles
Support the health and wellbeing of our people by maintaining a safe workplace with the ultimate goal of zero harm.
Respect our environment by minimising the impact of our business activities and rehabilitating affected landscapes.
Be a valued and active member of the local communities in which we operate by delivering economic benefit and engaging in an open and transparent manner.
Build teams of engaged and motivated individuals that understand the positive social and economic relevance of what they do.
Operate fairly and equitably with suppliers and customers and generate superior and sustainable returns for security holders.

Strong Metallurgical Coal Demand Through 2050
Growth for seaborne Met coal is underpinned by Indian demand and blast furnace production
Notes: Data sourced from Wood Mackenzie December 2021 Metallurgical Trade Outlook to 2050
Global seaborne metallurgical coal demand is forecast to grow from 301 million tonnes in 2021 to 403 million tonnes by 2050, an increase of 34%, led primarily by blast furnace steel production in India. India seaborne metallurgical coal demand is forecast to grow 146% to 172 million tonnes by 2050.
Global seaborne metallurgical coal supply is forecast to match demand with Australia expected to continue to be the dominant seaborne producer. Australian supply is forecast to increase from 170 million tonnes in 2021 to 258 million tonnes in 2050. Production growth is expected to be supported by a combination of brownfield expansion and greenfield development. Seaborne metallurgical coal supply growth is critical to meeting global steel demand expectations, including renewable energy infrastructure.
India steel growth is projected to increase by 229% from 115 million tonnes in 2021 to 380 million tonnes by 2050. Coronado is well positioned to support Indian demand as the country remains Coronado’s #1 export market. In 2021, Coronado sold ~26% of its seaborne metallurgical coal to India.
