Mega-miners take control
Article Abstract:
Coal prices in Australia rose for 18 years, making it an unpopular choice for investors, but in 2001 its price has stabilised, and coal stocks have performed well on the Australian stock exchange. The changes have been due not only to supply and demand, but also to changes in the coal industry, where mine control is shifting over to diversified "mega-miners" such as Rio Tinto, Broken Hill Proprietary Company Ltd, and Anglo American.
