Coking coal price reaches five-year high, spiking interest in re-opening mines

Coal - yes, it's black and bad!
The price of coking and thermal coal has reached new heights, prompting interest in coal developments in Australia.

Coking coal is fetching more than $300 a tonne, which has not been seen since the Queensland floods of 2011 cut Australian production significantly.

Mike Cooper, of Platts International Coal Report, said the price rise had been caused by a Chinese Government decision to cap production there.
